Animal Mask Sporrans

dunnbadger.jpgIf you are going to wear a kilt, you'll be needing a sporran to hold all those bits and bobs that fill up your trouser pockets.  And if you're going to wear a sporran, it better be one of Craigie Originals' animal mask sporrans.  Although located in Florida, Craigie Originals produce a variety of sporrans and leathergoods for the noble hearted Scotsman, but few items of their items can compare to their animal mask sporrans.  

Perhaps you'd like this badger sporran complete with two well-clawed paws and six brass bells?  It'll cost you $490.  Or maybe a crocodile or beaver sporran?  Craigie Originals has even endured the aroma of making sporrans from skunks.  The company also makes less elaborate (headless) pieces from plain fur.CROCK1.jpg

The animal mask sporrans cost between $400 and $500, but considering the splash you'll make at your party, they're well worth the cost. In addition, any of the sporrans can be made into a purse or bag for the ladies with the addition of a leather shoulder strap.

If a sporran is quite your style, how about a Davie Crockett style raccoon headpiece or a raccoon rug?  Check out all of Craigie Originals' one-of-a-kind items at: http://www.sporrans.com/index.html

Fortunately few people are as Lame as Susie... probably never been to a slaughter house, never read a history book, never wore leather shoes, never had leather car seats, never wore a belt, or purse, or had the intellect, or capacity to understand what a Mask Sporran is all about. Perhaps if people would learn a little more and judge a little less... and stop making it "all about 'if it were my anmial' " whiney and incorrect comparison (perhaps go see a shrink about that inability to sperate the two) .. that person would realize the nobility of the issues. Yes, even taxidermy.. If you don't like it, then just don't come here and post incorrect trype... And go find the PETA page to make your comments.
