I got these at the locksmith's. They're smooth enough to do no damage if you're careful, and easy to remove and re-place the keys. If they fall off, they're already in the sporran, and it consumes little space.
As you see, I just slide them onto the gusset where they're practically invisible in normal use.

When I designed my Carry-All sporran years ago, along with all the different pockets and storage options, I made it a point to include a key ring that snapped to the inside.
The idea was, that even fully loaded, the sporran looked normal from the outside.

I guess that depends on whether you look at the tooled knots or the straight cross between them.

Yes there's that vase/face positive space/negative space thing.
Here's what I see:
And were I to order that style from Margaret Morrison I would ask them to rotate their stamp 45 degrees.

Why on earth would you want to rotate the stamp 45 degrees? I cannot say that I am enthused with that style of sporran or the tooling, but what is so important about the 45 degrees? Just wondering.

Just because as it stands it's a Celtic Cross tipped at an angle.
I would think the same if a sporran had the Eiffel Tower tipped 45 degrees on it, or any other normally upright architectural subject (the Leaning Tower of Pisa notwithstanding).

Every time I see these pictures I'm heartbroken that this never became available.
