I would say with 99.9% certainty that no one sells a mold for sporrans. They are made in all different sizes, shapes, and styles, and any mold that a maker might use would be very specific. But I would also venture to say that most sporran makers don't use any sort of mold for their sporrans. Generally, wet-molding of leather is to achieve a specific 3-dimensional shape that the leather needs to retain after it dries. Sporrans, on the other hand, usually have a flat front and back panel with soft collapsible gussets on the sides. Or they are soft-bodied and wouldn't need any sort of permanent shaping.

What exactly are you trying to achieve with a sporran mold? Are you just trying to make the gussets hold a permanent fold where they are stitched to the panels?
