    That's the one I got as well. I like it. I don't have much of a basis for comparison, this is my first sporran. The leather is pretty stiff to the touch, but it looks really nice. Of all the different styles of economy sporrans the Celtic Croft offered compared to their higher end counterparts that was the one that seemed closest terms of outward appearance. Down the road, I think my next sporran will be a soft leather black Rob Roy sporran from the Tartan Museum and I will use this one for dress occasions.

    I think you will be happy with your choice.

    Panache,

    How is the workmanship on your sporran?
    Any sporran with a cantle is usually considered a dress sporran.

    Well....

    It looks pretty well fitted together. The cantle is attached to the sporran in three places with two bent over pins each, it seems pretty solidly attached. The small leather strap that attaches the front of the sporran to the back with a snap seems reasonably strong for casual use. The leather on the belt that came with it is ok, but just so. I wouldn't go hiking with this sporran or stuff it to the brim. But when I want to look dressy I think it is a good value for the money.

    I didn't really know a lot about what sporran was appropriate for which occassion. I did think that the classic sporran with the three tassles should have good quality soft leather, and that a cheaper sporran would look so in that style.
