    My new "real" sporran

    Up to now I only had two cheap sporrans form e-bay. A black standard day-Sporran, and a brown "Rob Roy" looking Sporran. I have never been completely satisfied with these and I decided to order a "real" Sporran. Since Freelander Sporrans is Norwegian made, and from near where I live, I decided to order from them. I ordered a brown Sporran with antler details.
    I was very excited when I got the Sporran. It was from another world compared to the cheap e-bay things. The leather was very soft, still thick and durable and I could almost smell the musk from the antler.
    Freelander Sporrans does not look very big, but it is very spacious. See picture of everything I could fit in to it.
    My new Freelander Sporran will always be one of my favourites, and there will be more. I can’t use these e-bay things after this.

    Welcome to the Freelander Clan, mine is still at the top of the list sporran wise. Congratulations.

    Best day sporrans on the market, bar none. I have been wearing Highland attire since I was 18, and I can honestly say that my Freelander is the best sporran I've owned, even over my dress sporran.

    And Freelander was our first sporran maker on Xmarks tae boot!

    Welcome tae Clan Freelander!

    Nice looking sporran. Congratulations. The dog is good looking too, I don't think I've seen a German short haired pointer with a tail.

    Tail cropping is strictly verboten here...

    Glad to see the roll of little black plastic bags, though. I'll need a sporran like that with room for the bin liners and shovel I should bring with me walking my own dog...

    How much was the sporran in NOK? I'm no good at currency convertions. Delivery time? I'm drooling here...
