    How many sporrans are enough?

    I have two Thorfinn sporrans, one black and one brown. I also have a white rabbit fur sporran that I wore at burns night last Jan. Gave away my economy sporran. So, my total is three.

    So, how many do you own?
    What are they?

    Cheers,

    2 L & M Custom sporrans
    1 Badger "head on"
    1 Black Rabbir fur dress sorran
    1 Clan Crest Day Sporran
    1 Saltire Semi Dress

    I have my eye on a few more, but since we're saving up for a house, my PERSONAL kilt and sporan budget is put on hold. I am VERY TEMPTED DAILY by the kilts and sporrans we have to send out of the shop. I guess it's a GOOD thing we send them out. If they hang around too long, they somehow end up in my closet!

    I'm not sure there is such a thing as enough sporrans. I have four.
    One brown leather Stillwater econemy daywear sporran;
    One black leather Stillwater econemy daywear sporran;
    One brown leather Stillwater daywear bunny sporran (leather flap style);One black Seltic Croft chromed cantle sporran (no fur, so dressy but not really formal).

    One day I might get a white bunny sporran with metal cantle.

    ChattanCat's wife says that if you are fortunate enough to have a wonderful sporran from the absolutely fabulous Turpin, you really don't need more than a black and a brown with some of the matching tartan flaps! Oh, and the adorable little coin holders are a must!
    Of course, you HAVE to coordinate all of this with matching belts and sporran straps from the incomparable Cavscout. ChattanCat's wife is the fashion fascist, and she should know.

    If you can afford it, why have two when you can have fifty-two... One for each week of the year.

    I've got 6 now, but I just made two of them.

    A brown day and a black day,
    A fur-front semi,
    A Dress full-fur and now 2 Rob Roy style sporrans.

    T.

    P.S., I believe one can never have enough sporrans.

    1. Brown TCS sporran with two flaps
    2. Black TCS sporran with four flaps
    3. The TCS FRANKENCHUCK (as shown here and Turpin's website!)
    4. L&M semi-dress, black with clan crest
    5. Stillwater nylon cargo sporran
    6. Self-made, Rob Roy style
    7. Self-made, "modern" style
    8. "Modern" style (actually a belt pouch) purchased at a Ren Faire

    Maybe I'll get a Ferguson Britt or L&M dress sporran eventually, just to round out the collection. Oh, and a piper's sporran once I graduate to the pipes.
