Buffalo Fur Hide Sporran....?
So I'm reading the new September issue of True West Magazine and there's an article on things buffalo, "Where the Buffalo Roam" on Page 80.
They show a picture of a buffalo fur hide possibles bag made by the folks at www.missaprilscarpetbags.com This baby looks like a giant buffalo fur hide sporran, right down to the strap which would make a perfect sporran strap.
She's asking $250 USD for the big bag. Got me to thinking, With all these exotic sporrans being made out of various critters, why not a buffalo hide sporran with fur on?
Could anything be more "American?" Certainly would be a tough long lasting sporran.
Sent her an email to see if there was an interest in making them up...we shall see.
Hmmmm, maybe a leather kilt out of buffalo hide with fur on for winter...maybe fur to the inside....maybe too warm....
