Today's "AS IS" Special is a full set of Wrist and Ankle Cuffs in Green Bull Hide with Hunter Green Suede with Black Straps. Only worn once by Ivy Haze modeling the set for us a few years ago.

So I just realized I have not yet converted all my one time "AS IS" Etsy items that got dropped last year over to Spicerack.market, so am starting a one-ish a day listing effort to get them up on Spicerack.

Today's product was a set of Jade Green Cuffs with Posture Collar and Leash. It has been worn by a few models, but has been cleaned and in storage for well over 3 years at this point.

Been awhile since I had someone order some Infinity Style Shoe Locks, I had to think about it for a moment before making them

So because had to make a set today, decided to promote that listing.

On a note, the purpose of the shoe locks is for two reasons,

1. For decorative use to add to high shoes or boots, especially the colored leathers.

2. To keep someone in high heel shoes (unless their feet are double jointed, then no promises.)
Have to have at least a 1" (3cm) heel for these to work properly (more is better), although for decorative use, can get away with anything that has a heel.

And a quick reminder, unless stated otherwise they do not come with padlocks, but we sell the padlocks as well on both sites.

With not the Pleasure paradox one is having PayPal issues with this listing not sure if I can fix or if it is a PayPal issue.

Available in a Black Latigo and several other leather colors. It is NOT available in our regular black Leather, because that particular leather while good for most items, is not good for shoe locks.

Trivia: The first image is of a set made by Kevin5 while he was still part of the company (we don't sell those particular locks), the rest are by Longwatcher with Kevin's permission when he departed.

So just ordered some 3/4" Nickle locking buckles (like the one in the lower left on the picture) and the price has doubled since last time I bought them. And checking the price for brass and black have also doubled. Luckily I currently have plenty of those at the rate I am going through them. I got to my reorder level, so time to reorder.

But a doubling of price means I have to seriously consider upping my prices.

Luckily it appears the leather I also ordered was about the same price, won't know for sure until they pack and wrap it as it is priced per Sq Ft and depends on the individual side of leather. But the total was in the zone at least and not significantly higher than expected for that. Buckles though different problem.

I am suspecting Tariffs as the primary reason.

So we got our first order from Europe today (UK specifically) via our Spicerack.market site, so that is definitely live for orders from US, Canada, Europe, and Australia now. Very happy as it when Etsy was allowing all of my adult products, 1/3rd of my sales came from Europe, so hopefully it will get back up to that over time awareness builds.

Just a quick note for folks that are NOT in the USA, We are also on Spicerack.market (and have been for over a year now), which is now ALSO available in Canada, Europe, and Australia. as of today.

Our one of items and scratch and dents are only on Spicerack, since loosing Etsy, Although I really need to start spending some time adding in the event items, made the wrong size, and model worn once items.
The Scratch and dents have been on there for awhile as are our padlocks and most of our buckles for crafters, as well as the panic snaps (although the buckles and panic snaps we can still sell on Etsy.

SO planning for a model, who I plan to suspend on the Engine hoist at some point later this week. amusingly, I get an email from one of the companies I buy stuff from occasionally it has annual year data on it on top ten OSHA violations for the past year. 2 of the ten are falling.

Thinking I should take extra care just to make sure I don't get added to that list. Although I don't know if model shoots are covered by OSHA.

These two from previous product shoots should be FB safe.

:) LOL ;)

I do actually take my suspension safety very seriously, testing the rig with my full weight well before I have a model on it. And I weigh considerably more than most models I work with.

Today's Product images are of the Extended Tab Collar.
This one is different from the drop tab as it uses a halter square with a somewhat western design to create the drop.

Note, this design has no backing leather by design.

Can be made with any of our regular leather colors.

Can be Bought at either of these two links:

So today for trivia update, I have one Burgundy bull hide and one Purple bull hide set of blanks available in Medium for Easy Wear Wrist cuffs.

The important note, is I will be raising the price on Easy Wear Cuffs on my Regular site soon as the cost of leather has risen, but at least until the end of June will keep the current price on these if you email me even if I have raised the price.

A blank set is what I get when I cut leather side so as to minimize waste. To minimize the waste, I have to cut two sets out. For Ankle cuffs don't need to as much, although it can help a little bit also, but Wrist cuffs, I waste a lot of leather if I don't cut out two sets at a time.

So doing up a set of the last of my Burgundy Bull hide for a customer, I have one extra set available. The Purple I have more of, but also happen to have one spare set at the moment.

Both of these are my medium size template, which also happens to be my default size for when someone can't get or doesn't know what size they will need.

Because they are blanks, I can put any straps and any suede backing with them. The default for the Burgundy is Black Suede, for the Purple, Purple Suede, but you want Yellow I can do yellow ;)

So a couple pictures to show you what past ones have looked like and then a current colors image showing the available Front Leathers and suedes (other than the remaining bull hides, which I have part of 1 each hides in Purple, Red, Blue, and Green (enough to make one full wrist and ankle set from each).

I no longer have enough Burgundy to make even Wrists cuffs (excepting the one blank set), although I do have enough for straps, blindfolds, and Panel Accessories. Sometime soon I will be converting those last bit of leather into those.

Final note, we have D-rings, Panic Snaps, and Rated quick release shackles available for the Easy Wear Cuffs and you can order the other options to swap them out, I know a few people who like having the D-ring and Panic Snaps as options depending on who hey are playing with.

Just a quick mention that we have the apples for the Apple Ball gag back in stock again, however, the new ones do not have the stem on them, although I don't think it is going to hurt the look much if any, it does subtract a little from the apple in mouth look to me personally.
Granted when I have used a real apple they never have the stems on them.

05/30/2025

So just sold out temporarily of the apple ball gag (shown below), Have more on order. Kind of surprised me as I sell maybe one a year, but have sold 5 so far this year, 3 this week, and that basically cleans me out until I get more in. I do have two green ones left, but obviously the red ones are more popular. I do have my model/sample one, but that is not for sale.

Something I can NOT show in use.

05/28/2025

So this weeks promotional images are of our Infinity style Shoe Locks. The original (and still default) Leather is a black Latigo, but any of our regular strap leathers are good for these.
As well we still have a small amount of Patent Leather left.

Our Back Story

Manufacturers of quality kink supplies. We make medical grade silicone ball gags, beautiful collars, Stainless Steel Spreader Bars and comfortable, sturdy cuffs (conventional and designed for suspension). We began around 1998 making a cuff for a friend we were playing with because we could not find one in her size, and then we made a better one, and finally we made a good one and someone else wanted one and thus the beginning. In 2001 we officially became a business, starting as a partnership of three crafters. One of the original crafters has moved on to other things and a second continues as a passive partner providing occasional advice and assists on occasion at events. The company was designed to be a cooperative, using a commission basis with multiple crafters, at our peak we had the three partners and seven associate crafters contributing to the product line. We still have two occasional associate crafters and one of the original Partners crafting. We used to attend events regularly, however over time we were making less and less and the events were costing more. We still attend one or two events a year on average, but mostly for promotion purposes. We are online sales only, unless you happen to be in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, USA (or catch us at an event). However, even then by appointment only to our workshop. We do not have a show room at this time beyond one wall section in the workshop. All of our finished goods, except the small accessories, are hand made, which although they are produced for us, even the Balls are handmade. We thrive on custom orders whenever we get them. Our goal is to produce high quality, functional goods for the Adult Fe**sh, Gothic, and Theatrical communities that are reasonably priced.
