A new sporran for Jock?

[creagdhubh]

What a fun project, Jock! Not too long ago, I posted that I would like a dress sporran made out of the finest black suede. I would consider basing it on these sporrans:







By far my favourite of these three sporrans is the first. This style of tassel would be essential, I think, for a suede sporran. You would need something "flashy." I particularly like the cantle, which could be worked up with some form of your armorial bearings, even a stylised clan plant badge.. Hamilton & Inches silversmiths are salivating on the sidelines!

Again, the second sporran has striking tassels, and a very fine cantle.

The third sporran is quite simple. Of course you should add tassels, and maybe a bit larger cantle, but the simple, basic style of this sporran is quite elegant.

Have fun with this one, Jock!

Sandy,

The photos of the sporrans above are absolutely lovely! Are the custom designs from a particular maker? I would love to know more about where they came from and who made them. Thanks.

Kyle, these three sporrans were all up for auction at one time or another. I found them online, and saved the photos. The first one truly is beautiful.

I absolutely love the first sporran depicted in your set of photos as well Sandy! Thanks for your help.
