I’m scratching my head wondering how on earth we’ve managed not to post anything at all these years about Liberator (UK link here)! The firm, which is located in the US south has a very nice and varied latex product range, which is designed by Atlanta fetish regular Melissa, who has her own bespoke line called Vesperi as well.

Liberator has a full blown factory which produces latex finery in large runs, which means that their prices are generally lower than what other smaller firms can charge. The patterns are cut by machine and then produced by a team of craftsmen and women, which you can see in this rather nice video, From Pattern to Package.

What I like about the Liberator line is the sheer amount of detail which seems to be present in every piece. The Pirate’s Booty costume is not something you’re likely to see mass produced by other firms, simply because of all the work that’s obviously gone into it, and the price, $370 for the whole set, is not something you’re going to see very often at other houses, either. All in all, it’s very impressive!

I’m also enjoying the work I’ve seen coming out of Black Likorish Latex, a newish range out of California, produced by a young fashion design graduate. Right now it seems their main web presence is on MySpace and in some of the Live Journal forums, and through word of mouth from some of the most recognizable fetish model names like Darenzia, Ulorin Vex, Angela Ryan and Masumi Max. It’s easy to see what attracts these women to Black Likorish–there are cowl neck gowns, ruched halter cocktail dresses, neck corsets and more!

Here’s an image I snagged from their MySpace profile of Masumi Max (welcome back, Masumi!) in a sheer cowl neck creation. I am really looking forward to seeing more from this range!

And finally, you may remember 3XL’s much earlier post about Darkside Creations, a Canadian latex designer’s range of custom pieces and quirky accessories. We recently revisited the site and decided that their new latex driving gloves and catwoman gloves with attached fingernails are well worth checking out. There also seems to be a lot of inflatables added since our post of a couple years back, so drop in to the shop while in Canada, or take a look online!

Hope we’ve inspired you to browse a little, or maybe even revamp your latex wardrobe. Until next time!
