    Looking for a Saltire Flag Sporran

    Hello all, I am searching for a sporran with a Saltire design to wear specifically on Tartan Day, but also on days that I just feel like it. I found one on Etsy for $24, and the same merchant has the same sporran on ebay for $20. When I asked, "Fahad" cited that they were priced differently due to different materials. I had many red flags pop up over this:

    1. The only place I've been able to find this sporran is from pakkilts.com, which is in Pakistan as we all know... not meaning to be prejudiced, but Pakistani kilts are always warned against due to poor quality, so there's another red flag (also, having been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, I am very wary of goods from there due to too many poor quality items).
    2. How can I trust that, if they look the same, if I purchase the better quality sporran that they won't accidentally send me the cheaper one?
    3. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for, and I think that both of those prices are pretty low and too good to be true.
    4. I have now found it on Amazon for $100. Same sporran from Pakistan being sold on 3 different platforms for 3 distinct prices.

    So, I ask:

    A- If anyone has a sporran from this merchant "musical wears 2020" or "fs musical" that can shed some light on the item quality.
    B- IF anyone can recommend a merchant with this type of sporran for sale.

    This is the type of sporran I am looking for (it also happens to be one from the4 etsy merchant)

    Never run or do jumping jacks while wearing a heavy sporran
