I would recomond an imitation fur and silver mounted sporran. Here is a link to some at The Scottish Tartan Museum, run by Matt Newsome. It's also L&M made.. so fake or not it well be one of the best made sporrans you'll own. On a side note, can I ask why she's okay with the skin of an animal but not the fur, which after all, is just shaved off to get the plain leather?
