About BigSkinny

Let's be honest; you can't stand when your wallet gets too thick and overstuffed. Whether it's being stuffed to the brim with all of your cash, or, if we're still being honest, with old receipts and expired coupons, you crave a wallet that will not create a questionable bulge in your pants' pocket.

Big Skinny / (big skin’ e) / adj./ 1. the most thin. 2. (noun/ slang) insider information; truth, the most important fact(s) or reason(s), e.g. ''What's the Big Skinny on your hot Bulgarian supermodel friend?" Or, "Don't mess around; just give me the Big Skinny."

Hate THICK wallets? For as long as I can remember, I've been searching for a thin wallet. I tried every advertised thin wallet and then everything else to keep my cash and cards organized together and to avoid having that uncomfortable and unsightly brick in my pocket. I felt like George Costanza with his wallet problems from the famous Seinfeld TV episode. I couldn't find anything that worked or even looked good; in reality, perhaps I was really looking for the anti-wallet.

Finally in frustration, I designed the original Big Skinny sport model. It took almost 2 years of testing dozens of designs and over 75 natural and man-made materials searching for the right balance of thin yet with good looks, functionality, and durability. Using an advanced version of the stylish nylon micro-fiber material (5 to 7 times thinner than leather) that made Prada famous along with the special design resulted in a slim wallet so unique that I just had to name it. Imagine a well-organized slim wallet that you barely notice yet is good-looking and can fit 20+ credit cards plus bills. Big Skinny wallets are the world's thinnest wallets that are better for your back and will make you look and feel thin. We now have models for men and women, a leather series, and also the sleek Super Skinny wallet which cuts your cards in half for extra thinness. Enjoy the benefits of the growing Big Skinny line and, as always since founding Big Skinny in 2005, I look forward to hearing and incorporating your suggestions for improvement and new designs.
Sincerely,
Kiril Stefan Alexandrov
