    Looking for faux seal sporran

    Does anyone know where I can find a faux seal skin sporran, that is looks very close to the real thing? I am sure there are some makers somewhere that do this kind of thing for those of us in the states that can't have the real thing. I have always loved the look of the real seal and I am definately not into rabbit.

    The ones I have noticed advertised are not inexpensive, and I don't know how much they resemble seal. I haven't seen one "in the flesh."

    Celtic Croft
    Scottish Tartans Museum in white, black, grey. This may be the L&M sporran??

    In my climate, I incline toward muskrat for most applications (light weight, nice drape). But for a sporran, I love the formal look of skunk!

    I've just ordered this... Because I think it's a pretty close match.

    But you can also get this...
    Which I think you might like.
