    Unhappy Craigie sporrans? Where'd they go?

    Wear one every other day. Like to get another. They seem to be gone. Glad I bought several...

    As I recall, the proprietor passed away several years ago. I think his widow kept the business going for a few years to sell off the stock. Doing a quick Google search indicates the business went under in 2010 or so.

    I have two Craigie sporrans, as well. I spoke with Sue shortly before she closed the business (though she didn't indicate she was thinking of closing.) At one point in the conversation, she mentioned it had become more difficult for her to stay competitive. The conversation moved on to other topics, and the subject of the business never came up again. I was sorry to hear she had closed. Years later, her sporrans are still going strong.
