Madame Leather carries an excellent selection of very sexy leather, vinyl and PVC items for men and women. You'll find panties, tops, pants, skirts, corsets, teddies, and a nice selection of accessories. I love plus-size sections that show products on actual plus-size models; Madame Leather does a great job with this. Their sizes range from small to 3x and they actually show larger models looking fabulous in their leather outfits. The site has an extensive leather care guide and a long shopping advice section, which focuses on how to choose the sort of product that will look best on you. If you end up with a defective product or one that doesn't fit, Madame Leather accepts returns within 30 days of your original purchase, as long as your item has not been worn. The site includes a FAQ section, contact form, phone number and physical address. Nicely done, Madame Leather. You have me lusting after the Dynamite Leather Corset. I'm saving my pennies now. - AAG

This is a very cool site featuring original hand molded 100% latex-free rubber designs by Anzjalise! As a fetishist that has developed a latex allergy over the years, I can tell you that is music to my ears. Another unique property of her work is that you can order fire resistant (not fire proof) gear as well, which is really neat for fire dancing! She has posted images of burn tests, so you can compare her fire resistant rubber with other materials. The gear design is quite nice and customizable. She can make original stuff just for you, or you can order things from the site and specify colors and sizes. The color selection is pretty broad and includes really neat options like blacklight reactive hues. There are some pretty unique offerings like rubber purses, bic lighter holders, cigarette holsters and such. I think my favorite gear includes the three dimensional pieces that look like they are covered in actual bone, those are brilliant! There is a very nice FAQ and a good set of care instructions for the work. Purchase appears to be through Paypal, but that company does seem to be a lot more open about clubwear. So far I haven't heard of anyone getting burned for that, as it isn't usually classified as pornographic. Still, Paypal always makes me nervous. The gear is wonderful though, and I was very excited by the unique designs and options! Be sure to check out the repair and replacement policies in the contact section. - Vamp

While reviewing this site I found that I constantly had to remind myself not to spend my paycheck while visiting. If you are looking for artistic, romantic, and really special looking BDSM collars and cuffs you have to check this place out. All of their items are hand crafted, and their eye for design is incredible. Whatever your taste, you'll find something surprising and beautiful here. In addition to the BDSM gear they have some jewelry and decorative locks as well. Most items can be made in custom sizes without additional charge, and they are willing to make variations on existing designs too. They have very clear policies and obviously take a lot of pride in their creations (as they should). Really beautiful stuff, especially for the person with visions of vampires, princesses, and harem girls dancing in their heads. Gorgeous. If you are going to offer someone a collar, you should make it special. - Vamp

This is a very well designed and comprehensive online lingerie store. You'll find crotchless g-strings, jewelry, rhinestone lingerie, leather, plus sizes, wigs, shoes, swimwear, costumes, handbags, erotic oils, and a lot more here. They have helpful size charts, great contact info, and a FAQ that covers all the questions that are likely to come up. There is a toll free number, live chat, and much more. I was very impressed by the organization of the information and the ease of use. It is definitely a cut above most mega-lingerie shops. - Vamp

This is a local [Seattle] artist whose work I've seen many times, both in local vendor's fairs, at the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival, and also adorning the bodies of many friends. I'm quite impressed with the fine quality of this embroidery work and am quite happy to endorse and support Bryce's work. [Disclaimer - I know him only casually, and have no personal invested interest in him or his business.] When I first saw his work a few years ago I was extremely excited, and he has only expanded and improved in time. He started with his displeasure over the quality of tshirts and other logo images, and he wanted to be able to have the imagery he felt represented him, in the quality he demanded and yet accessible in smaller than lot pricing of 600 or so. He has built his craft into a business now that can produce individual items or larger quantities either stock or custom, and always in high quality. He does home and bath items [hotpads, aprons, towels, pillows, etc], clothing [caps, shirts], and custom work [embroidery on leather, armbands, and many other items]. He has both standard art [gay, kink, political, and other images] and will also work with you on your own custom piece. Not mentioned on the site, but I have been told that he is researching on expanding his designs into various areas of sacred art. Very detailed instructions on custom orders, group orders, terms and conditions, laundry & dry cleaning guidelines, and such important trivia are clear and in depth. Ordering can be via secure shopping cart or via 1-800 telephone calls. He also offers an online comment/query form which ends up in his email basket. I definitely give him two thumbs up and am certain that you won't be disappointed with his work. - Peter » More Info!

XTC Apparel carries an enormous range of leather, latex and vinyl products, along with footwear, bondage gear and leather sheets. Many of their items are available in an array of colors and sizes from extra-small right on through the plus-sizes. The vast majority of their clothing items are designed for and modeled on women, but some of the items could be unisex. Delivery of your product could take a few weeks for special-order or custom-made pieces; these are clearly noted on the site. I like the fact that XTC Apparel provides extensive instructions for the care of their products; you can read about how to clean suede, how to lace your corset correctly, and how to judge the quality of a leather item. They also provide ample measuring and fit instructions. XTC Apparel ships internationally only to select countries. Not all items can be returned and you must get approval before returning any item.

Tulip is an outgrowth of research that began at the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business, which has grown to two brick-n-mortar shops in the Chicago area in addition to this web-based shop. A woman-owned company, they aim to appeal to both men and women with an upscale, common sense, and user-friendly presentation. They offer instruction both in essays on the site and as well in classes given in their shops. In addition they will schedule home parties at your convenience [presumably in the Chicago area, I'm guessing]. You would be hard tested to find a site with more clearly offered information about terms, shipping, contact information - even the bus routes to find their shops. They try to stay on top of the research about possible carcinogenic ingedients in sex toys, and to only offer those items thought to be safe. They have a wide selection of toys ranging from one-of-a-kind glass insertables to the more usual Hitachi Magic Wand, and on to anal toys, videos, cock rings, feathers, nipple clip bells, and much more. Although a recent [2005] entry to the business from everything I can see these folks following well in the example set by Good Vibrations, Toys in Babeland, and other leaders in this field. = Peter » More Info!

This site is woman owned and located in the San Francisco Bay area. They offer t-shirts with a variety of sex positive themes. You'll find designs for men, for women, for kinky folks, and more. The designs are all unique, some licensed from outside artists, and fun. Ordering is via secure shopping cart. Terms and contact information is clear and easy to obtain. Gift certificates can be ordered. They mention that they are eager to work with various sex positive causes' fundraising drives, and you may well find the folks behind this site at a fetish vendor fair near you. - Peter » More Info!

This is the online store for the UK fetish powerhouse Westward Bound. They have a wide selection of fetish wear, sex toys, shoes, and lingerie. They even have some of the more esoteric offerings like inflatable hoods. I think that some of the stand out items include a large leatherlook section (for those that don't want to invest in leather or who are philosophically opposed to it), and an extremely respectable collection of affordable corsets. There are an awful lot of uniforms offered here as well, including all the old favorites from police man to nurse. There is a rather broad selection of nuns (which I always appreciate). They even have a superman knock-off outfit, which I personally found charming and had not seen before. If you are lucky enough to come from the UK, then you can drop in to their brick and mortar store. If you live elsewhere, you can order online or receive their snail mail catalogues. The customer service info is all top rate. Be sure to read the sections on shipping and insurance thoroughly, and realize that all charges will be made in UK sterling. If you have been looking for a place to get your hands on LATE-X Valentine Ball tickets, you can pick them up here. A nice store with decent descriptions, quality product, and good customer service. - Vamp

This leather and fetish store is quite literally ""acts-of-us". The items on this site are handcrafted by Blue and Zi, some folks from Seattle that seem to have the punk/goth touch. There are a bunch of items that are thoroughly unique here, and that I instantly fell in love with. You'll find leather bat wings, spiked goggles, sexy pony bridles, fetish priest collars, a hannibal style hood, intricate chainmail neckwear, latigo leather bat collars, the little devil electrical toy, vampire claws, unique floggers, and much more. Whether you are shopping for armbands, bondage wear, or customized leather stamped fetish gear you can purchase it here! I can't believe they are local folk and I've missed them for so long. Their returns, customer service, and contact info is all easy to find. The site has some issues with certain browsers. I went there with Firefox and experienced some technical glitches. They offer online payment through paypal, but you might want to figure out another way. Paypal is notorious about taking issue with adult sites and stiffing owners and customers. Excellent merchandise! I'm always happy to call attention to craftsman. - Vamp

If you are a lover of fine high heeled shoes and boots, you will adore this store. Everything here is available in red, white, or black Italian leather (in matt or patent styles). They offer sandals, court shoes, boots, mules, and oxfords with heel sizes from 4-12 inches! I'm pretty sure that those 12 inch heels qualify as "skyscrapers" by anyone's definition. They carry women's sizes 3-8.5 UK, and men's sizes 7-12 UK. They make these boots to order, so if you have an odd size or special needs you can request a quote for their "made to measure" service. All of their contact, shipping, and customer service info is very upfront and clear. They are located in Devon, and a paper catalogue is available for a price. Be sure to note that while they can deliver anywhere, overseas delivery comes to around £20.00 per item. All prices are in UK currency, of course. The shoes here are utterly delicious, especially the very sexy oxfords. They made the shoe lover in me just ache. - Vamp

Yummy! This store is a fine retailer of top notch, custom made, precision engineered, and hand crafted chastity belts, collars, restraints, and fetish equipment. Their pieces are mirror or satin finish stainless steel, many available with silicone liners. They have products for males, females, and transsexuals. The measurement kit costs nothing, and their attention to personal fit is second to none. After you send in your measurements, they laser cut a card stock mock up of the item and send it to you to try on. This allows you to have a chance to make any changes before going through with the order. If you need more personal assistance, they do offer (for a fee) personal fittings in which they can offer up advice and do all of the measuring and fitting in person. I could go on and on about their options here, but the bottom line is that if you want it done than they can do it. It doesn't matter whether you need a belt that is curved for better movement or custom art and lettering in black powder paint that is burnt in with a computer controlled laser. You'll pay for it, but it can be done...and done right. Aside from their chastity stuff, they have nifty stainless steel dildos and butt plugs, engraved bracelets, blindfolds, Assa Abloy locks, and a lot more. For those do-it-yourself folks they have silicone liner by the foot. Customer service and contact info is superb. Be sure to take note of the flat rate shipping, which is a real bonus when ordering steel. There is a brand new forum for discussion about chastity, and an events list so that you can go see them in person. All in all, a superior company offering original and high quality products. As an aside, I think that they have some of the most sexy collars I've seen. - Vamp

This BDSM gear and sex toy store has a lot of great merchandise, some of which I haven't seen before. There are all the usual suspects, but you can tell the folks behind the site know a lot about play...because they have some of the best stuff available. There are beautiful chain collars, a Hannibal Lector inspired bondage hood, vibrating spikes, violet wand kits, a black light responsive glass dildo, cupping sets, lube shooters, leather doc bags, a neoprene thong, and a lot more. One of my favorite things had to be the latex bondage balloon. One look at that, and it went on my "must have" list. There is order tracking, and a neat articles section of original writing (it is sort of a small link at the top so be sure not to miss it). All customer service and contact info is easy to find and helpful. Please be sure to note the 25% restocking fee on goods that are returned. (It appears that they are also sponsoring a blog, but it doesn't seem to be updated often.) - Vamp

This really seems like a great little shop! The folks at Wicked Passions offer a wide selection of BDSM and fetish items, and they seem very invested in making sure that they are high quality. They've hooked up with Rimba (a supplier of erotic leatherwear from the Netherlands), and manage to offer a huge selection of their gear for a reasonable price. They also offer high quality medical sex toys, electro sex equipment, non-piercing body jewelry, PVC, and more. They even have black latex sheets for your bed, and those can be hard to find! Customer service and contact info is clearly and plainly displayed, and order tracking is available. They have a toll free number for questions and such. A size chart is available for clothing. All in all, this site is very well done and offers some great products. - Vamp

Yummy! This site has some interesting custom BDSM gear. You'll find play and public collars (and combinations that work together), restraints, and "torture toys". The leather appears to all be latigo, and can be sized for you. There are also engravable plates on many of the items, so you can put a "Master's Mark" on them. I like that detail! The "torture toys" at the moment are some really neat furry glove like items with claws, which I thought were pretty darn nifty. The bear paws are particularly intimidating and interesting. The shipping and customer service info is pretty clear, and the contact info is a lot more than you usually find on a smaller operation like this. I was impressed. - Vamp

At first I thought this was going to be another standard fetish gear site with the same stuff I see everywhere, and boy was I wrong! The people at Fetish Flair offer a lot of that stuff I was expecting, but they also offer many hard to find and custom pieces. Some of my favorites were The Humbler CBT device, Custom tooled leather collar, Rose Punch Crop, Leather Roses, and unusual END leather masks that look almost skull like. There is also a wide variety of canes, collars, numbered art prints, costumes, jewelry, and more! They have sizes up to 6X, so everyone can find something they can wear here. The contact and customer service info is easy to find. The size charts are available (and helpful advice about them is given). They list events they will be at, and have a really nice links section that many educational sites would envy. To top it off, they are offering dungeon design services and collaring ceremony planning and space rental! They apparently have a dungeon in St. Louis, and they state that "We are happy to coordinate every detail for you from the flowers to the custom collar. We offer an experienced Mistress or Master of Ceremonies to provide the ceremony formalities." Wow, is that a sign of the times or what? - Vamp

The Baroness is a legend of latex that has been online since 1995, and has become synonymous with high quality latex and rubber clothing. Her designs are always daring, intelligent, sexy, and cutting edge. She offers everything from dresses and jackets to over the top items like inflatable straight jackets (a personal favorite of mine). As well as clothing, she offers some really quirky accessories such as cute little bow necklaces and matching bracelets. If you have ever wondered how to take care of a latex/rubber garment, the Baroness has written an article titled "Latex Rubber Garments: Care, Maintenance, and Repair" that is a MUST read. It is free to all on the site, so make sure to get the best knowledge about the topic here. As you can tell, I'm a true fangirl of the Baroness. I've followed her designs for years, and I've never met a person who didn't love their finished Baroness piece. Expensive and worth it. - Vamp » More Info!

This is a small online store that really doesn’t have a ton of products. The categories that have the most items are the shoes/boots and fashion accessories. The cost of items varies a lot from product to product. Some of the prices are very reasonable and others seem to be a tad bit expensive. What I did like about the website was that there are some very unique fashion accessories that I’ve not seen around the web a whole lot, such as corset backpacks, bondage body bag purses, etc. The website indicates that they don’t ship internationally but it’s not clear if that means they just ship within the U.S. or if that includes Canada. All shipping is done via UPS. There is a contact us message form as well as a 1-800 number for any questions you might have. - Koi

If you are a Kinky Vegan that likes your equipment animal product free, then you might want to check out the stuff at GetKinky. All of their products are 100% animal product free, and most of them are a "robust polymer that looks and feels much like leather." The prices are pretty darn low. The selection is limited but includes things like gags, harnesses, hoods, posture collars, restraint sets, and such. Customer service and contact info is limited, but they do have an email address to write for more information. All in all, a promising idea. They have two entrances, one for Australian visitors and one for everyone else. I couldn't easily see any real differences between site designs. - Vamp
