Skunk Fur Dress Sporran

Given the price, I'd go for a more traditional Highland fur: Otter, wildcat, badger, pine marten, etc.

Considering that skunks are in abundance, and some of those other species are not, the skunk is the ecologically considerate and wisest choice.

Well, thanks to everyone for their input. I really expected a more even split on opinions. Great to hear almost everyone likes them.

I will most definitely put this on my list of things to do.

G'day all.

Quite! They really are wonderful little animals. And don't call me Shirley

LOL! How did I know the Shirley comment would be in your response.

Wow wow wow that is one of the most beautiful sporrans I've ever seen!

Until this very thread, I had not seen a skunk sporran that I had cared for in the least.

One of my mates wears one... I never liked it at all, and have tried to talk him into getting something else.



(Good times in Vegas!)

There's a kiltwearer around here who wears a skunk sporran, who wears it because it exactly matches his beard! Yes his black beard has two white stripes upon it.

I echo your sentiments and absolutely love that sporran.

On the other hand, your friend's sporran is fur with a leather flap. I don't know why (maybe the loathing of so-called "semi-dress" sporrans) but I do not like ANY fur pouches with a furless leather flap... they just don't look right to me.

Thanks very much, Sirs! I felt the same way, when I first saw it- Lamar Britt had just started selling his sporrans through the STM, and had made up several for consignment, to sell at the Stone Mountain Games. Pepe was one of them.

As soon as I saw it, I had to have it. All of Lamar's sporrans are absolutely first rate, and I've seen quite a few other skunk sporrans that he's made in the same pattern (all beautiful), but I've never seen one that struck me the same as Pepe- To my eye, the pelt is absolutely perfect for the size and shape of this sporran.


... maybe we can lift some DNA from Pepe and clone him.
