Inter-changeable Sporran Tassels
I have two Buzz kidder sporrans which I really like. They are a great price and the look is very versatile. The tassels are a simple leather fringe. Sometimes I'd like to be able to "change up" my sporran but don't want to do anything real flashy.
I'm currently putting together some horse hair tassels to coordinate with these sporrans, or any other I choose to put them on. I hope to have my prototypes done this week to post pics but I'll briefly describe them...
The tassels are designed to be for day wear. The horse hair will be brown or black. About 3-1/2" long. Instead of a silver cone or ball to cap the tassel I will use black or brown leather. The tassel will hang from either round braided leather or leather thongs. All you will have to do is slip the thong thru the hole in the sporran and crimp on the removable retainer.
This will allow you to swap leather tassels for horse hair or horse hair for leather or to put black tassels on your brown sporran and vice versa as well as virtually double your sporran selection at a minimal cost.
I'm still hashing out pricing but I expect it to be a better deal than shelling out the money for another sporran.
Is this a product anyone would be interested in? What would be your preferences in a product like this?
