Be VERY careful conditioning a low-cost sporran. Many of them are leatherboard, which is a fibreboard-like material made of leather scraps which has a very thin veneer of leather over the surface.

If you condition leatherboard you run the risk of the leather surface delaminating as well as the core material deforming.

Even if it is an actual leather product, many lower end pieces have such a heavy topcoat that they tend to be VERY stiff for quite a long time and won't take a conditioner anyway.

Do you have a link or a picture of your new sporran? It would help tremendously in providing advice.
