Our Company History
Our story begins with Ethos Leather, a cherished name in kink and leatherwork that started in Seattle, Washington, and later thrived in the secluded woodlands of Central Maine. Ethos Leather was founded by a family devoted to the BDSM community, crafting quality gear for personal and community use with a commitment to accessibility, safety, and sustainability. Starting as a wholesale-only operation for local retailers, Ethos Leather eventually expanded into direct retail to meet the rising demand for their carefully crafted, hand-tooled gear.
In keeping with their values, Ethos Leather sourced premium materials, including U.S.-tanned latigo leather and high-grade stainless steel hardware, to ensure durability even with regular cleaning and sanitization. Their approach reflected an ethos of responsible, ethical craftsmanship that would endure the test of time and support safe play.
Now, under the stewardship of Roughnboots and his slave Craig, the company has returned to its original home in the Pacific Northwest, marking a new beginning that honors Ethos Leather’s legacy. In this next chapter, we are committed to the same values of quality, accessibility, and safety, blending time-tested practices with innovative designs that meet the needs of a diverse and evolving community. As we settle back into the PNW, we look forward to continuing Ethos Leather’s mission, providing high-quality, ethically crafted gear that resonates with players at all levels of experience.
