    Rebagged nickel plated MOD cantle

    Here's a Mod cantle I picked up that I had nickel plated. I decided I wanted a dress sporran so I decided on a black minelli side for the leather. Very nice even grain and very supple. I lined it with red suede and went with the vintage braid and tassel. A fun and quick project.

    Wow that looks great, well done, I'm sure you'll get years of wear from it.

    Fantastic!

    That's the great thing about those cantles, the switchability. (Just coined a word, according to spell check.)

    I'd like to see what that nickel-plated cantle would look like with a fur body, fox, say. I can see it in my mind, it would be a top-drawer Evening sporran.

    Yes Richard, I thought the same thing! The nice thing about those cantles is you take off 4 clips and in minutes you can convert the bag to a fur front bag. Switchability! I may just make another bag just to see!
