    Very nice. I like how it has subtly modern design elements, but without getting too crazy.

    I like the simplicity of the design. Personally, I like more "simple" sporrans. The quality of material is important. This one looks lovely.

    Here is my most recent sporran from Donnie at Wyvern Leatherworks. I can's say enough good about Donnie and his work and his business practices. I commissioned this sporran in chocolate brown with a basket weave flap and brass hardware. As you can see the strap also has antique brass buckle, swivels and smooth radiused spring clips to keep from snagging on that costly wool we are prone to wearing.







    And one "In the wild" for those of you who missed the original threat that this photo was in, and wanted to see it worn.



    Thanks again Donnie, well done!

    Bob has a wide range of sporrans but wears only a few of them. The jewel in the collection is his Thorfinn with interchangeable flaps.


    Then there's the rest of the pack.

    From top left: black rabbit fur with gold-tone cantle (this remains Bob's dress sporran as it coordinates with the gold-tone buttons on his dress jacket); bovine purchased from another XMarker (never worn by Bob, but he may need it some day if plans that I have brewing ever pop); black nylon Stillwater cargo; camo quasi-sporran (acquired in some deal that I was not part of); black leather daywear needing snap repair; the infamous $25 brown leather MoD-style; Rob Roy style (a freebie from a gift exchange-type activity on another kilt forum); center, brown leather Stillwater cargo.

    Really ought to pass some of these along, just haven't gotten around to it.

    BTW I think there is an older thread along these same lines but it's probably locked by now. I seem to recall one photo of a staircase full of sporri!

    Sporri... Love it!

    I also love those Thorfinn interchangeable flaps. A sporran for all occasions. Fantastic idea.

    Here is our humble collection:



    Buzz Kidder Inverness. Holds all I need and then some. My "All Day" sporran.


    Stillwater Brown Fur Semi-Dress. Good with and without tassels for holding a small amount of items.


    Stillwater Grey Semi-Dress. Same as the brown. One of my favorites to add just a bit of flash.


    Buzz Kidder Pleated. This was my favorite until my wife claimed it as her own. She also uses this as a handbag sometimes when she isn't kilted.


    Stillwater Youth. My son's favorite. Just enough room for his wallet and phone without letting them rattle around.


    Target Ladies Handbag. My wife likes it for a small sporran when isn't stealing one of my bigger ones.


    Same as above, different color.

    I'm pretty happy with my sporran collection now, but I'm sure it will grow in the future. :-) To be honest, I have more than I need, but being "in the business" it's hard not to take advantage of being around some fine sporran makers and having access to their work. Most of my sporrans were made for me by Ferguson Brirt.

    My latest is one that does not appear on the web site yet, called a Tulloch Mor. This one is black leather with beaver fur.


    I also have a couple of old MoD brass cantles which Ferguson Britt has added new bags onto.



    I also have this one made from a vintage brass cantle paired with a new Ferguson Britt bag.


    Then there is my bobcat fur Inverlochy sporran which I love.


    I especially like how this one has such a nice, wide opening.


    This is a Duin Uasail Mor made from sheepskin, with some brass stud decoration on the cantle.


    You can see I have a preference for the round-cantle, top opening style sporrans, but I did have Ferguson Britt make me a military-inspired simple daywear sporran he calls the "Glen Lean."


    This one has a divided interior pocket.
