The lowest price L&M sporran we offer is $100. The highest price one in our catalog is $750. And we have sporrans at every price point in between.

So whether your sporan budget is $100, or $200, or $300, or $400 and up, we've got sporrans for you.

We do sell sporrans for under $100, as well, but those are not L&M made.

However, keep in mind there ARE SCOTTISH MADE (not imported TO scotland) REAL LEATHER SPORRANS out there for $45 for those on a VERY limited budget:

With a little searching / asking around, you CAN find items of decent quality within your budget.

Um, Rocky, there's something across the front of that picture, making it hard to see what the sporran really looks like. Hmm, better get my glasses to see what it is ... oh, never mind ...

They are however absolutely worth every penny I've got two one Sealskin and one Black Leather. L&M Sporrans are what I'd call heirloom quality. All you need is one, unlike the imitations you will never have to replace an L&M. As for Bing's sporran it really is a beauty, and must be seen to be appreciated.

My first L&M sporran was not put together well at all - it was fixed, but at the price I paid, it should have been perfect the first time.....

Just my 2 cents, I own an L&M Full mask sporran in muskrat and it is VERY well put together. It is going on 20 years old and looks great!!
