Leather Pride Flag
This flag represents the BDSM and fetish community. Originally it was designed for the leather subculture community as Tony DeBlase designed it for the 1989 Chicago's International Mr Leather celebration that marked the 20th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. Now it embraces all things BDSM and fetish. The symbol represents people involved with kink inclusive of those who are heterosexual and cisgender. The flag stripe colors are deliberately open to interpretation as DeBlase wanted to "leave it to the viewer to interpret the colors and symbols". This is very fitting for the BDSM and fetish community as it's a community open to different kinds of play, kink, ideas and consensual relationships.
Personally I love this flag as it represents a community that is not judgemental and open to all facets of sexuality and fantasy. It's also a community that values consent which makes it very sexy, plus it has a really cute flag.
The Pride Fritillary ShoeWingsGive your feet wings to fly across the catwalk with these gorgeous fluttery Pride Flag coloured ShoeWings! They make excellent shoe bling for a variety of lace-up shoes such as runners, doc martins, heels and more, however if you feel they need even more bling, there's an extra eyelet at the top of each wing to attach cute bling straps or bells (available separately). This upper eyelet can also be used as an anchor point to tie your shoe art securely against your shoe for if you don't like the feeling of wings flapping as you walk, or if you buy two pairs, you can have two wings on each shoe so the inside wing can be secured to the outer wing behind the heel, making the shoe design symmetrical (which I adore) and appear as part of the shoe design itself.
Other awesome ways people have worn these... Lacing them into their corsets (which looks super adorable) Lacing them into their waist cinching laceup belts and into those vintage lace-up shirts like butterfly bowties!

These are designed to be durable, but as they are handmade, please treat them with love and care.
Clean them with water. For a deep clean, use warm soapy water and patt dry with a towel.
If you bend or crease them, Sit on them! The multiple varnishes and sealants make them malleable when slightly warmed (do not iron or overheat)
Avoid scratching them agaisnt abrasive or sharp surfaces and store them away from sunlight. Store them next to one another, not ontop of eachother. See the Blog for more Details.
