All of our Sporrans are hand made to order in Scotland by traditional craftsmen and can take up to 2 weeks to get ready for delivery. If you have any special requirements for your Sporran please do not hesitate to contact us and we will try our very best to oblige. 2 weeks is a rough guide and if you do need your Sporran quicker than that we may be able to get you to the front of the queue! Due to USA customs restrictions all Sealskin Sporrans sent to the USA will be substituted with the alternative Bovine.
The Sporrans of today are not really functional as a pouch from which they evolved. They were not worn in front as the sporran is today, but attached to a belt and hung from the right side or back. In the early years the sporran probably carried food, for coinage was rare and barter was the rule. As the Scots and Irish grew richer the sporran would hold coins as well. When gunpowder and guns became common, no doubt the sporran was used to hold gunpowder and shot. The Sporrans were a functional article of clothing.

Today the sporran is an important aspect of any kilt : a simple style is available for day wear in either black or brown leather with three tassels. More ornate dress Sporrans for special occasions feature fur and gilt craftsmanship. Whatever the style, the sporran is always worn to the front, except when dancing or drumming when the preferred position is to the side.

Our traditional Sporrans are all hand made in Scotland using time-honoured techniques and methods, unspoilt by modern technology. The Sporran range includes; Leather Sporran, Semi Dress Sporran, Dress Sporran, Hair Sporran, Boys Sporran and Alternative Fur Sporrans which are suitable for any country world wide. We also offer a special gift Sporran Box Set which comprises a Sporran, Chain Strap, Belt and a Buckle, delivered in a presentation foam box, making this an ideal gift.
