It doubt this production had a costumer building things on-site, so am intrigued where and why someone would have a 'standard' design in all white.
Thoughts? (I will PM details of the production for the curious)
White leather sporrans aren't at all odd. In the not too distant past they were worn by the Black Watch (RHR) and perhaps by other regiments.
The late Sir Fitzroy Maclean of Dunconnel used to wear a white sporran, but alas, I do not have a photograph of him wearing it. I do have this pic, though, of a white sporran with tassels:

I too have an all white sporran. I wear it at Christmas when I do my Scottish Santa Pictures and with my Seton Modern Kilt. Very presentable indeed!

Sporrans crafted from the purest White pelts of the Arctic Acrylibeast are some of the most prized, most desirable Kilt accessories.
Those brave enough, intelligent enough, lucky enough, to find a sporran from this rarest of furs are the envy of the entire kilt world.
Danger, adventure and fame follow those who search for the pelt of this elusive animal.

Can't imagine any circumstances under which I would need to wear a sporran like that, but I have to say that it is a beautiful sporran. The cantle is very unique.
