I not quite sure by which standard you are measuring. To my eyes they seem more alike kinky varmint bags than any of the Scottish traditional full mask sporrans I've seen. I think they miss the spirit and detract rather than contribute to Highland attire. It's, I'd suggest, a question of balance. Neither conservative enough nor arty enough they strike me as just weird bags. Craigie I suspect came to making bags from stuffing animals rather than from learning the trade of making sporrans (their "day sporrans" are more RennFaire than Peth). For a good full mask I'd rather suggest Janet Eagleton. L&M in Canada seems to do some pretty descent commercial grade sporans in more or less well developed (and accepted) patterns.
