To celebrate the launch of LatexEXPRESS, Libidex are having a flash sale on their website, offering customers a full 50% off this range. This offer will last just for a few days from 6.00pm on Thursday 26 May until midnight on Tuesday 31 May, UK time.

Libidex Director, Simon Rose, says of the launch: “Our Instant Orders range has proved very successful (especially internationally) since it was launched last December so we wanted to give it a more distinctive name. LatexEXPRESS is unique to Libidex, and we believe it is a name that will be recognised and understood by our customers all over the world”.

Libidex work hard to ensure that the LatexEXPRESS section of their website is always very well stocked and ready for customers to purchase their latex garments, especially when a flash sale is taking place. The range is constantly being added to, whether with brand new items such as catsuits, stockings and hoods, or expanding the existing range of sizes and colours. There are currently thousands of items available in over 100 different styles, including several new designs unique to the range.

All LatexEXPRESS items come with a full guarantee and are of the same high quality workmanship as all Libidex items.

The Stockroom Inc. claim that Greydanus has stolen, used and distributed some of their latex designs for the latex that she created for Kate Perry.

The company is seeking an injunction blocking Greydanus from selling latex clothing and costumes.

Press release from Associated Press.

Abigail Greydanus comments on the lawsuit on her blog.

UPDATED: This Fetishistas is following the news about the lawsuit.

So with no further delay, give it up for these amazing latex designers:

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.

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.
