Dress Sporrans

Custom Made Fur Dress Sporrans at USA Kilts

A Dress Sporran is usually reserved for formal events. They are oval-shaped and feature a metal cantle (semi-circular closure decoration) on top. A typical full dress sporran will be made of black leather with a layer of fur on the front.

The formal sporran can also be recognized by the decorative tassels. These may be made of leather strips. Or if it is a fur full dress sporran, they may be made of fur. In either case each tassel is caped by a metal ball or bell. On an especially classy sporran, these may be cast in pewter to match the cantle and include raised designs such as Celtic knotwork.

The sporran, which comes from the Gaelic word for "purse" or “pouch” (pronounced /Spor' en/), is a leather pouch that performs the same function as pocket on the kilt. It's where the kilt wearer stores their keys, wallet, etc. At USA Kilts, we only offer the highest quality sporrans made in Scotland, at the most competitive prices on the market. We stand by every one.
