Hello!
My name is Wade and I am a New England based leatherworker specializing in finely crafted BDSM collars, cuffs and other bondage accessories. When I began doing leatherwork in early 2016, I had no idea that I would end up here! My initial focus was on leather costume accessories, specifically the type of stuff that you'd find at a renaissance faire or pirate festival. Long story short, one thing led to another and I quickly found my way into where I am now. It's funny how these two worlds overlap!
I've been catering to the kink community now for nearly a decade and I couldn't be happier doing what I'm doing. I'm so grateful for the loyal following and friendships that I've built here on Etsy and on Instagram as well. With that all said, here's a bit about the work that I do:
All of my leather creations are made using traditional leatherworking tools and techniques. The nature of my work is inspired by old-world craftsmanship and I endeavor to keep that spirit alive in my craft. My work is extremely detail oriented, down to the tools and materials I work with to assure that the end result is not only beautiful and comfortable but will endure the test of time. My products are designed for beauty and function. I use premium grade, full grain vegetable tanned leather for my creations. This is the same type of leather commonly used in saddlery. It's rugged beauty and feel increases with use as it breaks in, becoming more pliable and developing a unique patina.
My goal in making my products is to provide you with items that will serve you over the long haul. Quality leather doesn't wear out, it wears in. My philosophy is that if you're serious about whatever it is that you're doing, it's wise to invest in quality items that will hold up, rather than finding yourself circling back to repurchase the same cheap stuff time and time again.
I encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns that you might have regarding my work.

5 out of 5 starsI bought this for my spouse as a gift because they love chokers and has been following this brand for a while. I am always hesitant to buy things on Etsy but when we got it the choker was better quality than I thought. my spouse wears it to work every day for the past few weeks now and its not as stiff but still holding up better than any thing they have ever gotten. Definitely will be buying from here again.

5 out of 5 starsExcellent quality and quick delivery! I mentioned my nickel allergy to Wade and he recommended the appropriate materials that were less likely to affect my skin. So far so good! The leather is stiff, as are all new leather products, and I look forward to when it softens up!

Can I wear my stuff in the shower?
NEVER saturate any leather items in water! I treat my products with balms and finishes that offer water resistance. This will keep them safe from light amounts of moisture such as sweat, light rain etc, but showering/bathing with your leather items on will ruin them. If your items get wet, simply dry them as quickly as possible with a clean dry towel.
Sizing details
How to size:
Using a soft measuring tape, measure the circumference of the wearer's neck. Please make sure the tape is flush against the skin. Not tight or loose. If your measurement does not land on a quarter inch mark, please round up to the nearest 1/4". This will be the measurement I will need! DO NOT add or subtract from this measurement. I make the necessary adjustments to assure a proper fit.
If a soft measuring tape is not available, you can use something like a shoestring and measure that against a ruler.
What type of leather do you use?
I use a variety of different leathers, but most of my products are made from vegetable tanned leather from some of the best tanneries in the US.
Vegetable-tanned leather referrs to a tanning process which utilizes natural tannins from tree bark. This ancient method of leather tanning has been in existence for over 5,000 years! The natural tanning process leaves the leather with unique variations in shade and color.
The vegetable tanning process produces some of the sturdiest, most durable leathers available. Vegetable tanned leather is more ridged than some other leathers, however, it does get wonderfully soft and pliant over time and will gradually develop a beautiful & unique patina.
Care instructions
When making my items, I use oils and balms to hydrate and condition the leather. Most of my items are then sealed with an beeswax based finish to protect the leather from moisture. You shouldn't need to condition the leather strait away eventhough it may feel stiff; it just needs to be broken in.
If you want to pick up a conditioner, I strongly recommend "Smiths Leather balm" which you can easily find online. It is inexpensive, all natural and smells AMAZING.
Apply a small amount every 6 months to a year.
If your item gets wet, quickly dry it with a towel. Additionally, you can clean your item with a damp cloth then buff dry.
