Quality Sporrans for less money

[OC Richard]

what are the clues to that being a real Scottish sporran? is it just based on having seen a lot of them vs the cheap knock-offs?

So above I posted a collage "spotter's guide" to the backs of various legit Scottish makers (with which L&M in Canada needs to be included).

Here's the dark underbelly, a "spotter's guide" to Pakistani sporrans.

I don't know the specific maker in Pakistan, but they generally have that tell-tale equilateral triangle tab.

Some are stamped "designed in Scotland" which you also see on the labels with many Pakistani kilts and jackets.

Note the Evening sporran which comes boxed, the box and the paper tag saying "designed in Scotland" but the sporran itself stamped "made in Scotland".

And several others of these obviously Pakistani sporrans are stamped "made in Scotland" but as I said they can be identified by looking at the back.
