Horsehair sporran. Full mask sporran

For what it's worth, I think you'd do better to get a full-mask sporran. It's easier to care for and the most versatile sporran you can own.

I would have to agree with Shaun here. Check out the full masks on the STM gift site for ideas. If you do have your heart set on a horse hair one, I would suggest a check of Artificer's site for everyday horse hair sporrans.

I have said it many times before, as far as full-mask sporrans are concerned, I highly recommend Kate Macpherson of Beauly, Scotland. I own several commissioned full-mask sporrans made of mink, Scottish pine marten, and badger (all of which are of the European variety found in Scotland). Kate's work is outstanding to say the least, but her sporrans are also quite expensive.

I also have one horse hair sporran in which I commissioned L&M Highland Outfitters of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to create several years ago. I seldom wear it nowadays (and even considered selling it at one time, as I don't really care for it any longer - it's interesting how one's style changes over the years), but when I did wear it, it was only whilst I was in Highland evening attire.

Scottish pine marten.


Horse hair sporran. Note - Cluny's sporran is much smarter looking than mine in my humble opinion, not to mention far older! I love the look of the older horse hair/goat hair sporrans from the Victorian era far better than the sporran molach of today.
