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

Be well,

What about exchanging the leather tassles for furry balls?

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.

As far as sporran making goes, I would love to try my hand at a fur evening sporran but cannot find a nice cantle to go on it. The closest thing I have seen is a metal top designed for a ladies purse and this doesn't look quite the same (a bit too "girly"). I even did a google search but came up empty. Anybody have any suggestions?

I've looked around for a nice cantle too, but can't find one. Anyone know where we can get one?
