Saxon Cross Sporran

$230.00$245.00

Our Saxon Cross Sporran has been outfitted with the Saxon cross Interchangeable Sporran Flap. The Saxon cross is one of the simplest, yet most visually compelling designs that we offer, and is ideally suited for the leather medium. Despite its seeming simplicity, like all Celtic Leatherworks designs, the Saxon cross is a beautiful marriage of function and form.

Sporran drawstring cords are accented with a variety of metal beads. Bead style may vary on each bag.

Made from hand-selected top-grain vegetable-tanned leather, the Interchangeable Sporran Flap comes in various finishes including Classic, Chocolate, and Bronze. It has been distressed to give it an Old World feel. The color may vary slightly due to the nature of the hand-rubbed stain.

Please choose the color of finish you would like for your flap from the drop-down list below:

Description

About the Saxon Cross:
Inspired by the proportions and form of a 9th-century Saxon cruciform broach associated with the origins of the congregation at Canterbury, our Saxon Cross design is a dramatic and striking addition to our Celtic Cross Collection. This composition unites traditional, bold Carolingian knotted triquetras with the balance and visual minimalism of the ancient, symmetrical cross form. We’ve preserved the solid square center of the Canterbury piece, embellished with the knotted triquetras that balance each arm. The gently sloped arms of the cross call to mind the inset triangular forms of the Canterbury broach, which were a reference to the Holy Trinity. The triquetras themselves are another common symbol of the Trinity, appropriated from ancient Celtic culture and used to bridge the ideological divide between the Pagan and Christian worlds.

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:
Our sporran 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 securely closed. The back of the sporran is reinforced at the top with vegetable-tanned leather for durability. The sporran 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.
