Now here's a little twist to this whole thing:

Around 25 years ago a piper friend found, in the purse section of an ordinary Department Store, several actual Scottish-made sporrans being sold as purses!

This is well before Pakistani sporrans flooded the market, and these were very nice SEALSKIN evening sporrans, three tassels, silverplate Celtic cantles, stamped REAL LEATHER MADE IN SCOTLAND.

They had ordinary sporran chainstraps. In short, they were ordinary sporrans in every way, but being sold as purses!

He bought one. They were fairly inexpensive as I recall, around $50.
