    Claddagh Sporran HELP!

    Need one of these for less than 100.00 US. This is a gift from my wife's grandmother to her son who is now in an Irish pub band. I've looked but can't find anything. Help???!?!

    Just A Question?

    I understand finite and limited budgets, trust me. But just a thought, is this something that you hope the gift recipient keeps for years to come? Do you want this to be real quality and unique? If so you might want to invest a little more money and be pleased with the result. I have purchased 2 "cheap" sporrans in my early days and learned my lesson. I have 2 sporrans that I pinched and saved a few pennies for but they are really works of art. Donnie at Wyvern Leatherworks (and a member here) made me a beautiful Irish Harp sporran that I christened at a special family event. The claddagh is near and dear to me, it's on both mine and my wife's wedding bands purchased in Galway, and I would think such a sporran would be very nice. If I wanted something special like that Donnie would be a good person to contact.

    I strongly second that suggestion. I have three of Donnie's custom creations and can't say enough great things about his work. He has some very nice custom made sporrans for just a little over your budget ($125). If you have a little wiggle room, drop him a line and see what you can work out.
