Leather Passions

About US

Leather Passions is a labor of love, not a profit center. It was over 25 years ago, I was learning about this lifestyle and wanted more toys than I could afford. Plus, I felt that most of what was available was overpriced for the quality received. The obvious solution, make my own toys. With the experience of making what I wanted, how I wanted, and with the extra leather and hardware I started showing my creations at parties and clubs. Then came the internet - a small crude website led to vending at events, then a real brick and mortar fetish boutique in Baltimore - Chained Desires.

After parting ways with my partner, Leather Passions was born. A full functioning website, more toys and gear and a wide selection of fetish wear made Leather Passions a leading vendor at BDSM events around the country through the 00's and teens.

For over 25 years, I’ve poured my heart into handcrafting leather goods and kinky toys, bringing joy to customers at events as well as through my website and Etsy shop. Creating these pieces has always been more about passion than profit, and I’ve loved every moment of connecting with the community.

A few months ago, my main source of income was cut off when Etsy shut down my shop. Just as I was adjusting to that loss, I suffered a stroke last week. Now, even daily activities are a challenge, and the medical bills are piling up. I’m working hard on my recovery and hope to be crafting again with some rehab, but right now, I need help to get through this difficult time.

I don’t like asking for help, but the reality is that I can’t do this alone. Any support you can offer—whether it’s a donation, a share, or your prayers—means the world to me. Thank you for being part of my journey and for helping me find hope as I work toward healing and getting back to what I love. share the link below and ask all you know to share it on. thank you!,
