I would say that is a really nice sporran. I'm a little green with envy. One question; it's kinda hard to tell in the photos but is the cantle black metal or it is actually leather?

Seems to be a substantial piece with a good, wide gusset—a place where many sporrans fall short, in my opinion. Great looking hide. I may have to cut Bonsai some slack.

An impressive, unique, and subtly artistic bit o' kit. You should be very pleased and proud indeed!

Very nice sporran. I'm more than a little surprised that Bonsai Pottery was able to produce something lovely for a change. Kudos!

I like it. Kind of between the short, more formal fur sporrans and the longer hair ones that you see in the Victorian-style sporrans. The leather cantle really sets it off. Very nice work.

Colour me surprised given the nature of their other.....dare I call them such....creations. A damned fine sporran you got there! Might have to consider ordering a custom piece from them now.

And, might I ask how many quid this set you back? Or would that be too forthcoming?

It looks great on you. I'd wear that without hesitation however it does look like the decorative cantle, which is very impressive by the way, the hairy bit and the fastening knot at the back have been 'grafted' onto the body of a standard off the rack sporran. Nothing wrong with that mind, I think your end result looks terrific but it doesn't appear to be 100% made from scratch.... If they are using standard sporran bodies and you are thinking of commissioning future sporrans, it might be difficult for them to do the gusset you're after. Still. It does look good when worn.

That's cool! I've been waiting to see if your sporran was going to turn out as something that can actually be worn in public, rather than being an object of derision...
That sporran looks very nice! I hope you enjoy it!
