Boy, do I have the answer for you. I've got two of these puppies.
www.nativearth.com look at their #6 pouch...its 9"x9"x2" I love it. They make it as a purse or possibles bag but it works great as a sporran too.
Here's a pic of the brown stuffed, crooked because it was loaded down with water bottle, camera, sunscreen, et.al. You can see how wide the top of the back loop is if you look close.
Like you, I've searched for a large sporran that will hold a lot of stuff and that I can get my ham hock hand into. One of my standard grumbles is why sporran makers and sellers NEVER advertise the size of their product.
This puppy is NINE inches by NINE inches by TWO inches deep. It has a wide loop deal on the back so it works well with a sporran strap. Great workmanship. Nice folks.
Here's a better picture of it full of hiking gear and straight.
I liked it so well I ordered a black one too. That's an antler button deal with a loop. The flap stays in place even if I forget to loop it because its so big.
Here's a pic of the black one. Same size. These puppies will run $150 with shipping but for me its worth it both with quality, value, and being able to hold what I need to hold...and then get my hand inside too.
The other large sporran I have is from Miss April's Carpetbags. She made it up special from buffalo with the fur on. www.missaprilscarpetbags.com
This puppy was $187 but cheap compared to some of the other fancy sporrans that are a lot smaller. Had this one made SEVEN inches by NINE inches by TWO inches. The flap is so heavy due to the weight of the buffalo hide I don't even use any closure device. The weight of it keeps the flap down.
Now you know at least two options for large sporrans.
