In my local antique mall a couple of days ago, I came across a large ladies purse in rabbit fur with this exact pattern and I am still considering going back to get it. I think it would make an excellent sporran. Yes, rabbit is cheap and difficult to work with, but having never actually handled a leopard pelt, I'm not sure I would know the difference if I were simply looking at a sporran. And I am not the kind of guy who requests to fondle another dude's sporran (no matter what language that's in).

Then again, I found a source for tanned frogskin, and am planning a sporran out of it. I like a different look.
