    interesting leatherworks

    Today found one man who makes interesting leather bags, belts and sporrans.
    Maybe someone here will see any interesting idea at all. Unfortunately, his blog on the LiveJournal in russian, but you can read it through smth like babelfish or ask me for translation(but remember that it may take some time, cause i'm live in GMT+6).
    Here's one example:

    i think you may ask him directly in comment. Also i see there his icq uin - 167140726. I don't see price for that one, but as i see his reply to someone's comment , overall range is 2000-10000 rubles. and current rate to US dollar somwhere near 26 rubles for 1 dollar. so it's something like ~70-150$ for leather only ones and ~180-400$ for more complex ones.

    Those are fabulous!!! Looks like he makes them as shoulder bags, but should be easy to adapt as sporrans. Well worth the money, especially compared to the usual stuff you see sold for the same prices. Talk about one of a kind!

    As he write in descriptions there some made as sporrans, but also some shoulder bags. And i see one, which made as sporran, but sold to be shoulder bag %) , as said in comments.

    For some reason the sporran reminds me of the intricate goldwork on the famous Scythian toque I saw in Ukraine. Dang good looking stuff there.
