SPORRANS by Lochcarron of Scotland
The Perfect Accessory for your Scottish, Irish or Welsh Kilt.
The origin of the sporran (Gaelic for purse) goes hand in hand with the traditional highland kilt, since the attire didn't come with the convenience of pockets a leather pouch became a useful means of keeping together all those valuable items such as money, food, musket balls and the teeth of any unsuspecting rival clansmen! The opening of the sporran (the cantle) was hinged and fastened at the top and this was secured to the sporran by leather thongs. These are represented by the leather tassels & chains, which can be seen in the modern sporran design.
Sporrans generally fall into three categories: Daywear sporrans, which are generally of leather and are worn as informal dress or hunting, dress sporrans, which are made from sealskin(not in USA), musquash, rabbit, badger etc and are purely formal items and semi dress sporrans which are designed to be a compromise of the two.
