Not only do we make new bespoke sporrans in our Perth workshop, but our sporran makers also help repair old sporrans that need a little TLC. Our sporran repair service covers a wide range of repairs, from minor sporran tassel replacements to full scale restorations pieces. Many of our customers send their heirloom sporrans to our workshop in Perth, which have been passed down through generations, often showing signs of age and wear. We can provide minor sporran repairs such as replacing broken clasps, re-stitching leatherwork, or refurbishing worn leather, to full-scale restorations involving new fur panels, metalwork repairs, or structural reinforcement. Our dedicated team of sporran makers understand the sentimental and historical value these items hold, which is why we treat each restoration with care and precision.
With any repair it is first necessary to provide our sporran makers with a detailed assessment of the damage, you can do this by emailing one of our team members by email: sales@morrison-sporrans.co.uk and include any pictures you may have of the repair. Often these items hold sentimental value, and our customers want to preserve the authenticity of the original as much as possible so let us know what type of repair work you would like us to conduct on your sporran.
This customer wanted our sporran makers to insert more horse hair, wash and re-straighten the hair before before cleaning up the metalwork.
Once we have seen clear pictures of your sporran this lets us first see the item and determine if we are able to help with your repair, then select appropriate materials to match the original design as closely as possible. We know after a few outings (and a few drams) your sporran may lose some component parts or things come loose! If your sporran has a missing tassel or a damaged cantle, our team will ensure that replacements blend seamlessly with the original craftsmanship to the best of our ability. A tassel replacement is our more frequent repair so our team are well rehearsed to help with this repair!
For full restorations, we include meticulous cleans, re-conditioning and reconstruction of sporrans, ensuring it retains its historical character while becoming functional one once more. This can even be done with any sporran that has been destroyed by those pesky moths, sporrans are for generations to come to don’t throw it away, let us help!
This customer wanted our team to restore the front panel of their sporran which has a hole in it and clean up the bullion tassels. We stripped the sporran down, choose a suitable leather, matched the original stitching design to re-build the sporran and then re-attached the bullion tassels.
Things to consider when looking at our repair service, full restorations and repairs are done to the best of our teams ability using the materials we have to hand in the workshop. While our aim is to preserve the authenticity of your item, we only have so many materials to choose from, therefore identical matches cannot be guaranteed.
