I have a Nutria pelt that will become a sporran for New Years. The leather is of very poor quality. The fur is beautiful. Nutria grow up to 80+ pounds and you can make a sporran from a single pelt.

What I am going to do is use cowhide for the back and sides because of the mechanical weakness of the Nutria leather. the fur will be for a decorative facing only.

By the way I live in LaPlace, Louisiana.
