This post is dedicated to all latex designers that suck at web design, but make awesome latex clothing! Just because your website looks totally 1993, doesn’t mean that it can’t be featured here on Lust, Love & Latex!
So with no further delay, give it up for these amazing latex designers:
Please leave a comment, if you know a latex designer that should be posted here!
Etsy.com is a relatively new (founded in ’05) e-commerce community where one can buy and sell all sorts of handmade items, from garments to home furnishings to original artwork. Their motto is “buy, sell, and live handmade.”
Good thing for us, they seem to be fetish-friendly. Recently, there’s been an upsurge of upstart and established latex designers starting shop pages on the site. I’ve compiled a list of pretty much all the latex designers I’ve found plus extra non-latex designers that may be of interest to you.
I hope more latex designers will jump on the Etsy bandwagon. We definitely need another alternative to fleabay. The best thing about shopping on Etsy: no more having to drudge through sixty pages of moldy molded gear and PVC or ‘wet look’ spandex crap when browsing.

Dawnamatrix Designs by Dawn, offers beautiful long and short latex kimonos with Japanese inspired motives in delicate applications. Dawn was formally trained in the art of kimono wearing while living in Japan for three years in rural Takayama City. I actually meet Drawn in Tokyo in 2004, when she and I was guests at the Rubber Restaurant.
Dawn wanted to fuse the beauty and elegance of kimonos with the sensuality and graphic quality of latex. Her kimono patterns reflect authentic kimonos, featuring variable sizing and open sleeve backs for comfort and ease of movement.
Any of Dawn’s kimonos may be worn with traditional Japanese kimono garments such as naga-juban (under kimono) or authentic obi and accessories. For a more modern look, these latex kimono may also be paired with her latex obi, corset or waist clincher.
