    The style below does have that ability.

    Since the strips of leather that support the tassels are attached to the liner/gasket and not to the sporran body, you could have a number of different interchangeable liner-tassels assemblies (different colours, various numbers and arrangements of tassels, etc.)

    Actually that's what I was setting out to do: make a bright red liner/gasket to bring out the heart cutouts, with matching red strips and tassels.

    But then I started looking at vintage sporrans with "Culloden" style cantles and many had the three-tassel arrangement, one long centre one with two short ones on the sides.

    I do have a sporran with the cantle seen top left, which has the X-strips tassel arrangement. My plan is to someday more or less replicate that sporran.
