    It's an Eddie Brat Leather original. Found here: http://www.eddiebratleather.com/

    Not one of his wildest by far, but still far from traditional.

    The quality and workmanship is incredible. All hand made.

    Let's see your favorites!

    That is beautiful.

    OMG. I just looked through the website. A bit on the "pricey" side - but some wonderful looking products there. I'll be adding one of those to my wish-list, for sure.

    If you are too busy to laugh, you are too busy.

    I'm having Donnie of Wyvern Leatherworks to work on my custom sporran. I really can't wait to see how it turns out! I think I will get it in the mid-July.

    Donnie is doing one of his Celtic Cross sporrans for me. Not sure the delivery but fairly sure it won't be today.

    Since we are like a few miles apart.. We should get together to compares, and being in awe of Donnie's works. It'd be great to take a few pictures for Donnie's customer gallery!

    I am books solid this month already but will be setting up the clan tent at the Elizabeth Celtic Festival the weekend of the 18th. Hopefully I will have it there. Come on down for a wee nip.

    I guess this would be the most contemporary of my sporrans. It is sting ray and makes quite an impression in person. Donnie at Wyvern Leather made it for me.

    My custom sporran is on its way! Can't wait to take pictures of it, and share with y'all.

    Before I even started making my own sporrans (mostly because I'm cheap) I started a folder of photo screen caps of interesting sporrans that I found on the web, for inspiration. These are some of the nicer contemporary ones. I didn't keep track of who made or sold them, but they offered a quality and craftsmanship level to shoot for. Super clean workmanship. The tartan one is kind of funny. I figured that I would hate the concept, but even though I would probably never wear one, it seems nicely and attractively done. Some very nice tooling represented as well, which is something way beyond my pay grade.
