Kilt Sporrans | Scottish Kilt Accessories
The sporran is a traditional part of male Scottish Highland dress and is a pouch that performs the same function as pockets on the pocketless kilt. Suited up, casually formal or totally relaxed, a stylish sporran can be the highlight of your outfit and is an easy way to freshen up any kilt. Made of leather or fur, the ornamentation of the sporran is chosen to complement the formality of dress worn with it. The sporran is worn on a leather strap or chain, conventionally positioned in front of the groin of the wearer, its great for storing mobile phones, credit cards, wallets, change & keys and many other man stuff.
