    If the fox wasn’t killed especially to become a sporran, why feel guilty?
    As Kate says, if it is not made into a sporran, it simply rots away.

    Yes, that was indeed my rationale when I purchased it. Still, I am wearing the skin cut off another being. In some ways it is beautiful, in that foxy lives on...

    Loved the video, thanks for posting.

    One thing though...that's a HUGE sporran to wear. As he displays wearing in at the end of the video creagdhubh posted, it all but takes up the entire apron of the Kilt. I would definitely wear a Mask but I don't think I'd wear something that big...

    Those are great-looking sporrans, Kyle. I like her attitude, too.

    Additional Photos of Kate Macpherson Sporrans

    Below are a couple of photos I have uploaded, showing a better angle of Kate Macpherson's animal sporrans - as you can see, it is quite the array. Enjoy!

    Unless this is a game of "spot the differences", I think you've posted the same picture twice, mate.

    Thanks, Kyle! She certainly does make beautiful sporrans.

    I agree Sandy! I own several and the quality is simply outstanding - they lie nice and flat, with some having a "V" shape, so they aren't too terribly big and bulky like other full-mask sporrans on the market. I own three out of the eight pictured above - the Pine Marten (top right - brown and white), the Badger (top far right), and the Mink (far right next to the white hare). The others featured are Mountain Hare, Pheasant, Possum, and Red Fox. I treasure them!!!
