    L&M Black embossed sporran

    I have found that during Scottish Country Dancing many of my sporrans, the Freelander, Ferguson Britt's and Thorfinn especially are too big. I thought therefore that I needed a daywear sporran that was small enough to do everything I needed for dancing. After looking around online for a while I decided on an L&M as they are a high quality sporran and I knew the Pete at Canadian Casual Kilts carried them. I emailed Pete with questions and after several messages to Pete, (sorry about that Pete) I decided on a black sporran without tassels. At the same time I ordered the following sealskin semi-dress sporran from www.sporransandeverything.com, however as it is coming from Scotland, I've not received it yet. Therefore without further ado here are the photos of my latest sporran.

    It is simple and elegant, a nice choice though I am partial to my Fergusson Brit sporran myself for SCD.

    Cheers

    I've worn mine several times for SCD, but you know this is really just a reason to pick up yet another sporran for the collection.

    Nice sporran Glen. SCD is a good idea for something to get my Celtic Club out to.

    Nice, I've always been happy with the quality of L&M products. They blend elegance and functionality very well.
