    Sporran Suggestions

    I am looking for a sporran that is very unique. Brown, leather, with a design on the front. No fur. Jamie's A Hay Sporran Review is kind of close to what I am looking for. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    I saw a hand crafted leather sporran at the Texas Renaissance Festival last month that was exactly what I am looking for, and not badly priced. I am still kicking myself for not buying it. It had a leaf pattern dyed green into the front of the leather sporran, and was really stunning. Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Kris

    A_Hay does custom carving and dyeing. His price is unbeatable. Also look at Turpin's Thorfinn He may not carve leather but a removable flap in thick leather, just add a leatherworker like Cavscout at Oconee Leather Works

    I looked at the Thorfinn's. Not quite what I am looking for. Thanks though!

    Dude, do you ever leave your desk? You are always the first to answer.

    The Rob Roy style usually denotes a draw string pouch.

    Rob Roys normally have:
    2 1/2 oz Scotch whisky
    1 tsp sweet vermouth
    1 tsp dry vermouth

    If you remember the name of the people who had the sporran, they may have a website. You might be able to order that very sporran.
