Okay, since you asked ... here's one I've posted before from Craigie:

That would certainly reduce the number of lassies wanting to stroke ones sporran

I've never seen such a thing... I don't think my mother would like it.

Strange but beautiful pieces. Kate MacPherson works out of the UK I presume. That Tyto alba (barn aka monkey face owl) sporran would land one in a world of hurt in the US.

Definitely ermine, which is what the winter pelage least weasel is called. Very poor quality and appears to be stained badly. Quality ermine should be pure white.

I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. I love that gator sporran but then again I am a southern swamp rat.
