Sporran-nation is the design practice of me, myself and I, Jennifer Cantwell, a designer/maker based in Inverness, Scotland. I make many things, one of which is a line of limited edition and one off contemporary sporrans, bespoke and commissions. My sporrans are much softer and more pliable than a traditional sporran but are firm enough to retain their shape, are lined with vibrantly coloured cloth specifically chosen for that piece and have a generous belt loop at the back so you have the option of taking the sporran off its chain and wearing it directly on your belt.

New designs, colourways and materials are constantly being introduced, and I'm currently working on vegetarian options for people who would rather not wear leather sporrans. All sporrans are individually handmade and so no two are the same. Rather than aiming for a uniform finish, I use the grains and characteristics, scars and blemishes of the leather to give each one a defining texture and surface, with much of the leather having a distressed appearance. Sporrans come with a chain and belt or on leather cord, and all materials are sourced nationally.
