    I was given a black mink one from my lovely Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess, I just love it. Out of my 9 (9? Good Grief! 9!) sporrans this is one of my two favorites, and out of all of them the most versatile.




    Cheers

    Bradley, this post is quite amusing when viewed with your current avatar.

    Nice looking sporrans. Quality always shines through the haze of poorly crafted.

    Could not agree more. The Ben Lomond looks sharp in that picture. It might be time to invest in a new sporran

    Well, I have to confess my first reaction to the FB sporrans was that they were too much...too fancy, too fussy, too frilly. Then I found myself returning to the FB sporran page over and over just to scroll through all of them and admire the amazing quality and attention to detail. What finally broke me down was when a couple XMarkers posted pictures of themselves wearing their new FB sporrans. Now, I have one in black leather and wishing I had another one in brown muskrat.

    I have a couple of muskrat fur ones on special now. Black leather, not brown, but the fur is brown. :-)

    Of course you could always order one made with brown leather, but I figured this way you could save a few bucks.

    I liked these so much I've ended up with two so far, one Muskrat with Brown leather
    and the Skunk with Black leather.


    and a close up of each, on tartan because after all they aren't Freelanders.
