Mahogany Daywear Leather Sporran

[MacGumerait]

Greetings rabble !

I ran across this mahogany leather sporran the other day. I was looking at simple leather daywear sporrans and I took a liking to this one . It is a simple design with a touch of tooling / stamping . I have a full range of sporrans but couldn't resist looking around and was thinking of making the purchase . ( SonsOfPlunder , $ 75 )

Any thoughts ? If you don't care for it , no worries here , I am thick skinned .





Cheers , Mike

Nice shape and colour. Shame about the tooling and the catch. Well, you did ask!

Fair enough ! Thanks , Jock !

I'm sort of in agreement with Jock. Nice shape & colour, I actually think the tooling is quite nice, though I'd have preferred it if it were a celtic motif. As it is, it's a bit LOTR. Don't like the catch.

On balance, I like it more than a whole lot of sporrans I've seen.

Thanks Calqacus , I agree , too bad the tooling wasn't a more Celtic motif .

It's a winner. I'm not overly keen on the latch but the rest of it is spot on to my eyes. Good score

I agree. Minus the tooling and the closure, I like it. A simple button-snap closure would have been a far smarter option in my opinion. Also, the colour seems to be more of a oxblood/cordovan hue, versus mahogany. The patina is lovely. All the wee nuances of the leather, including the darker, "scratched" areas are quite nice.

I'll add a comment on the cigar box closure. I have one on a sporran made byDonnie atWyvern (see below) and I like the way it securely snaps shut. The hidden snap closures never seem to stay shut for me.

There's an interesting steam punk design on the same site --
