    sporrans, sporrans, and more sporrans

    Say that 5 times fast

    Bouncing around to several vendors to see if there are any specials or new items out and noticed on Thorfinn's site he's got a bunch of sporrans.

    I would dearly love one of these sporrans. But they're a little rich for my blood.

    No, their not cheap. But they're built like a brick sh!tehouse and are, quite frankly, underpriced for the quality you get. Just look online at the prices for the many other "reasonable" quality sporrans out there ($150 - $300) and you'll see the value.

    I have 2 of Turpin's beauty's and couldn't be happier. I'm glad I saved up and bought a couple of them as they are of much more worth to me than 10 of the other standard types.

    Well said Chris. With internal pockets and other organizer features in addition to the incredible amount of room in them AND the snap flap option, they are a great deal. These babies are THE reason I don't make sporrans.

    Yeah, with extra flaps at $25 dollars it's like having more than one sporran.

    No doubt about it, nice work. Considering the quality, worth the price.

    Turpin's sporrans are well worth the cost. I have three, including "Frankenchuck" on the fur sporrans page, and each one is a beautiful piece of craftmanship. And with Turpin's signature flaps, those three sporrans can appear eight different ways.
