Swiss Sporran?!?! Cool!

Picked up one of these at the Zurich Airport. It's big enough for my stuff, but dimensions are about the same as a Celtic Croft/Thorfinn-size sporran. (about 6.5"W x 8"H x 3"D)

It has inner pockets for keys, PDA, phone, etc. It even has a snap closure belt loop on the backside for a sporran strap or you could use the side d-rings. If only they made it in a solid black or olive...

I got it for 39 CHF.

That look like a nice casual/modern sporran.

Suggestion based on a similar bag I have is to put a couple of "D" rings on the back edges of the bag. With the strap rings on the side it tends to stretch the bags pockets making it hard to get inside. By putting the "D" rings on the back edge it places the pull across the back and not the pockets.

Enjoy. I love mine other than I tend to carry to much in it.

Interesting... it invites comparison to Stillwater's nylon cargo sporran (formerly known as the "nightstalker" sporran), which many of us are quite fond of. Let us know how it works out for you.

Since I see that it was designed as a shoulder bag, I am wondering how it feels when hanging in the usual spot for a sporran. Have you found if it interferes in any way with the male anatomy?

That thing's got more zippers than Carter's got liver pills. (Anybody here besides me old enough to know that reference?)

Still waiting for a brown Nighstalker sporran from Stillwater.

Sorry - I think it makes a much better shoulder bag than sporran.

I agree

I think it could look great with a UK or similar kilt. Post pictures of you actuallly wearing it as a sporran when you get the chance.

True, on the other hand if you wore it turned on your hip you could pass it off as a modern "hiking" sporran, but if you use it as a shoulder bag you start getting into "manbag" territory
