Description
About the Cirein-cròin:
Dragons were as much a part of the ancient world as the mountains and trees that surrounded the rustic people who embroidered upon their legendary existence. Not merely content to lurk in bodies of water or fly above the firmament, Dragons were credited with sculpting the very earth itself by the passage of their enormous bodies. Celebrated in a myriad of cultures in many different ways, Dragons took on a fantastic array of physical forms. One of the more unusual is that of Cirein-cròin, a shape-shifting Dragon of lore whose legend still lives in Scottish-Gaelic tradition.
Large enough to feast on the body of whales, Cirein-cròin was able to disguise his massive body when necessary and even leave the protection of the ocean to terrorize the Scottish coasts. His desire for meat, both that of man and beast, even became an archaic unit of measure! Ancient Celts would say that a massive quantity was “a Cirein-cròin’s fill.”
About Our Sporrans:
Like all of our products, our sporran is made by hand in our workshop right here in the USA. We hand-select the beads on our leather drawstring cords to complement the bag, though bead colors may vary depending on what we have in stock.
This is the largest capacity sporran that we offer. It can easily accommodate a phone, wallet, keys, and more.
All of our themed sporrans come with an interchangeable flap that can be switched out for any other flap on our site, providing your bag with more versatility!
Functionality:
The bag utilizes a leather drawstring cord to close the bag at the top. The second leather cord is used to loop over the concho or clasp on the flap to hold it closed. The back of the sporran is reinforced at the top with vegetable-tanned leather. The flap attaches to the back of the bag at the top with heavy-duty snaps. There are two D-rings to attach the sporran to a belt. The loop will comfortably fit on a 2.5-inch belt should you choose to wear it that way.
Dimensions:
Flap only – 4.5 in W x 6 in L
Rob Roy Style Sporran Pouch only – 8.5 in W x 9 in H*
*By design, our sporran includes quite a few folds in the leather and is expandable beyond these dimensions.
