Honestly, I think full mask sporrans are creepy. They look like dead animals. I really don't care for them at all.

But... but... that's the point. Those thrifty Scots and Brits used what was at hand to beautify their lives. Besides, live animals wouldn't work, somehow...

I for one would not want a live badger in my lap.... A live chipmunk was bad enough (long story).

Ah, but to be kilted in the land of marsupials... THEN you've got a chance at a live sporran that's accustomed to the task!

Yep, they're used to hanging around all day doing nothing...

And they'd be much more manageable than a (full) 'roo sporran - even though the roo's pouch is roomier!
