Day Wear Sporrans

Sporrans were originally a large and somewhat clumsy pouch usually made from the skin of an animal such as an otter or a goat. For people of importance the sporran was mounted with brass or silver. The sporran has now developed into a finely ornamented accessory which is used to hold such items as money, keys and handkerchiefs.

Day sporrans are normally made of black or brown leather with leather tassels. The leather is sometimes studded or tooled with celtic knots.
