Traditional Handsewn Kilts
and Accessories
The Sporran/An Sporan
HE SPORRAN IS PROBABLY THE MOST important accessory after purchasing a kilt. Indeed, most would say buy it at the same time. To be honest, without a sporran a kilt looks, well, like a skirt. Also, you may have noticed a kilt has no pockets. The sporran (from the Scottish Gaelic sporan meaning 'pouch' or 'bag') stores all of your important items like keys, wallet, etc.The following sporrans are beautifully crafted in Nova Scotia, Canada. With proper care, they will likely last a lifetime or more, becoming a treasured heirloom, much like a well-made kilt.
Sporrans are worn centred at the front of the kilt, about a hand's breadth from the belt or waistcoat bottom. The straps rest on the hips and can be passed through loops at the back of the kilt. (If they exist.) If you wear your kilt regularly, you may wish to consider an all-leather strap, as a chain can wear away the apron of a kilt over a period of time. They are fine, however, for special occasions.
The dress and semi-dress sporrans I offer are available in cowhide, or faux fur only. While certainly legal in some parts of the world (including here in Canada), I cannot sell sealskin (or other fur) sporrans for the following reasons: 1) My wife and daughter would likely turn me into a sporran if I were caught selling them, and 2) I don't wear or sell something I don't eat. I don't wish to force my views on anyone but it's just something I'm not comfortable with.
All prices are in Canadian dollars. Canadian residents must pay GST (5%). Ontario residents must instead pay HST (13%).
