The Queen's sporran maker has launched two new lines - to satisfy demand from Old Firm fans.
Janet Eagleton has produced blue or green sporrans for the supporters of Rangers and Celtic.
Now demand for sporrans has become so great she has opened up the first High Street shop selling nothing else.
Her store in central Perth opened a week ago and Janet revealed she has already received some strange requests.
She said: ''I got a telephone call from a guy in California who wanted to buy a sporran.
''He asked if it was possible to have it made using his materials so I said it depended what it was.
''I was pretty stunned when he said it was the skin of a mountain lion he had bought from a native American.
''He sent it over and I made him his sporran with it. Normally I just used leather or pony hide, but I'll try anything.''
Janet's shop is filled with sporrans of different design, costing anything from #30 to #500.
She started making sporrans in 1981 after her father, a saddler, showed her the technique.
Since then the business has grown by word of mouth and now customers from around the world are visiting the shop.
Buckingham Palace ordered a series of sporrans for the Queen's personal piper to wear.
''I couldn't believe it when I got the letter from Buckingham Palace asking me to show them my work.
''The Queen's piper wrote back to me to say the Queen had seen them and was very pleased with them.''
She said that kilt-wearing football fans were providing a new market for her sporrans.
''A lot of them want to personalise the sporrans they wear to reflect who they follow. I've made a few blue and white and some green and white ones for Rangers and Celtic fans.
''I could do them in any team's colours - all they have to do is bring in the material or a drawing.''
Each sporran takes anything from three hours to a week to make, depending on how elaborate the design is.
Janet said the sporran - as the kilt becomes more popular - was becoming a fashion accessory for the modern man.
''They no longer just have the one to go with their kilt. I'm finding they are coming back for different ones.
''Some of them are as bad as women are for having different handbags. One chap down south told me he has already got 14.''
The Sporran Shop is also serving several military regiments including the locally-based Black Watch.
Janet said: ''I am repairing their sporrans as well now, so I am saving the military a penny or two.''
