"What a darling purse," she gushes. "Where can I get one like it?" It took me several minutes to explain that it wasn't a purse...

It is too a purse! It's a man-purse, but still a purse nonetheless.

Be well,

Dictionary.Com defines purse as:
1. a woman's handbag or pocketbook.
2. a small bag, pouch, or case for carrying money.

Using these definitions most sporrans worn by men are not purses. Based on the the first definition a mans handbag or pocketbook can not be a purse. Looking at the second definition, at least for married men, our wifes never allow us to have any money to carry in a small bag, pouch or a case for carrying money. Therefore a sporrans can not be a purse.

Actually I do have a purse for my kilt...based on the second definition. I think the second definition refers to a change purse, which I always use with a sporran since I can't stand digging for change in the bottom.

So no on sporran's being a purse, yes on using a purse in your sporran. If your wife gives you money to put in it.
