Here's a link to the sporrans at the Buzz Kidder web site. It kind of looks like they changed the web site just a little. Cool!

Buzz kidder sporrans are awesome in their price point but AFAIK none of their models have separate compartments.

True, I don't think any have compartments, but for a basic soft sporran, they are great. I wear their Country Sporran more than any other I own.

Cant fault Freelander Sporrans in Norway, make the best day sporrans I have come across and they have a capacity to hold so much. Checkout their web-site, the extra cost will be money well spent.

The only two sporrans that I own right now (while i'm jonsing for a nice beaver fur Ferguson Britt /swoon) are buzz kidder sporrans and they're very well constructed and good quality for their price. I own one of their rob roy sporrans and one of their inverness sporrans. The only issue with the inverness is if you're carrying something heavy in your sporran (decent sized camera for example) it tends to pull open when you walk if you dont add some sort of stop to the draw string.

In terms of value you aren't going to do better than Buzz Kidder. Their sporrans are well made, of thick yet supple leather, and they are all priced between $55-$65.

Besides turpin and Donnie, A_Hay and Joe Gondek also make handmade custom sporrans. I have a very nice one from A_Hay.

But hands down my favorite sporran is my Freelander.

I have a

A Buzz Kidder Loch Ness model
A Stillwater Nylon Nightstalker
A Stillwater brown rabbit fur
A chrome cantled black leather Celtic Croft Semi Formal
A chrome cantled calf skin Formal one from Kilt Goodies
A Tom Hay daywear with a handcarved pictish boar

A way2fractious Full mask raccoon

and a two tone brown and black Freelander

I like all of these sporrans very much and use them all at the approriate times.

But my Freelander is still my favorite, and if I could only have one it would be my Freelander.

Cheers

I contacted Donnie at www.wyvernleatherworks and asked him to do a trinity knot for me. He hand tooled it on the lid for me. He has a picture of it on his website. Black sporran with a natural leather trinity knot. His sporrans are made very roomy and strong, yet very soft. I jonseing for another one now!
