Opinions on tassels of a different colour to the front piece of a sporran?
Hello all, I am in the process of putting together some potential semi-formal sporrans for our band (we are running a bit short of them so the pipers will need to move to a new sort, then the drummers eventually).
I made a mockup of (very) black deer suede, black, smooth, shiny kangaroo hide, and white upholstery leather tassels. Apart from looking “a bit dainty” it was well received. Needs to be a fraction bigger and I shall double the leather for added weight, and have bulkier chains (3x crossed tassels).
Am more likely to use white/speckled b&w hair-on cow hide for the final tassels, but is this a fashion faux pas? I know that spare tassels are sold for sporrans, and there are not any real hard and fast rules about colour matching as far as I can tell, but we don’t want to look silly.....
