    Thank you.
    I'm a full hours drive from an actual store front and needed something to serve while I shopped for a permanent sporran. Too bad your vendor had only one.

    The seller is beginning to thin his personal stuff, for a planned move to Tennessee. The sporran just happened to be the first of his excess kit to go. As we've stayed in contact, I'll e-mail him, & ask about any other excess bits & bobs.

    What Price Glory offers a fairly decent cheap sporran for $35 plus shipping. It's not perfect but it's really not a bad sporran, in some ways I like it more than the authentic Scottish one I have now.The WPG sporran is nice and roomy and I really like the brass stud closure.

    There are some reviews on Xmarks if you do a search, that's why I bought one.

    I have two sporrrans

    I have two sporran's A black one and a brown one. The black one was my first sporran and was discounted because the centre tassel was missing........ I filled the space with an antique grouse foot broach I found in an antique shop while away to Cornwall on holidays.

    The second sporran, the brown hunter sporran is Canadian made by L&M in Nova Scotia and I got from North of Hadrians celtic clothing shop in Victoria BC , again at a discounted price because I had just had them build me my 8+ yard 16oz wool Canadian Maple leaf tartan kilt.

    I wear the brown one more often because I like the style but I also really like the looks and feel of the black one.........both are of very good quality in my opinion, and if you don't mind a bit of advice..... save your pennies and get a sporran of good Quality you will never regret buying quality over expense ...........Others may not know the difference but you will and you will always regret poor quality

    I plan on purchasing a quality sporran. I just need a place for wallet and keys while I shop for one.

    Personally I prefer traditional sporran styles over the ones shown in the OP.

    What do I mean by "traditional sporran styles"? This thread will make most of it clear

    Best of all I love finding lovely vintage Scottish or North American made sporrans for little money, the subject of this thread
