plain black sporran acceptable for 'formal'?

I did a quick mock up of a PC coat and celtic knot black buzz kidder sporran (no tassels, no medallion...) and it did look like something was missing.

I think a black leather sporran will look fine in lieu of a fur sporran but you may want to consider putting a nickel badge on the flap or even a quick modification to apply horse hair tassels to the sporran. Here's a pic of the tassels I put on my Buzz Kidder Rob Roy

The tassels were $9 + $3 shipping. 3 quick hole punches and you are set.

Another option is the company I bought my dress sporran from on ebay. Seller name was Paramount International I think. The catch is that it took about a month to get it but for on $30 I was pleased with the sporran.
