I got my first fur dress sporran and I need some advice. The specific sporran I purchased is a coyote sporran form UT Kilts (http://www.utkilts.com/formal-dress-coyote-fur-sporran/). It is not an expensive sporran, but I does look nice and I want to take good care of it.

I'm traveling next month and would like to bring it with me for some evening events. Nothing "formal" in the most traditional sense, but I'd like to use it in the evening instead of my Thorfinn day sporran.

Here are my two questions for today:


  1. What is the best way to safely pack a fur dress sporran for air travel, likely in checked luggage for this trip?
  2. When not in use, what is the best way to store a fur sporran?


Thank you in advance for any wisdom any of you can pass on.

I make fur sporrans, and for traveling (and storage) I put them (and keep them) in one gallon zip lock bags. When storing them I wrap them in white (non dyed) tissue. For travel I leave tissue out.

In the 4 years that I've been making fur sporrans (mink, beaver, badger, skunk, fox, bobcat) this has worked well for me. Others may store them differently, but this is what I do.

Best of luck to you..
