About

Tough Love, a Slovakian one-woman brand, represents my dedication to quality, artistry, and sustainability. After extensive refinement, I’ve designed every product to embody these principles. These creations invite you to embrace your desires and push boundaries with confidence. Tough Love celebrates intimacy, safety, respect, and communication—essential pillars of a fulfilling BDSM journey, offering endless opportunities for self-discovery and connection.

  • HANDMADE

    Every piece is carefully handcrafted from scratch, with a focus on refined detail. Crafting with leather demands precision, from the edges and hardware to the careful treatment of both sides. This process involves extensive time, skilled craftsmanship, specialized tools, and premium treatments such as finishes, paints, and creams. Each item is individually produced, requiring time for completion before shipping.

  • CUSTOMIZATION

    Your desires, your design. My products are just a starting point, and I am here to bring your vision to life. Whether you want a custom color, an engraved ornament or inscription, or even a completely new concept, I will make it a reality. Every detail can be tailored to your preferences, ensuring a truly unique piece. Don’t hesitate to reach out—I will personally craft the perfect BDSM piece for you. A Sizing Chart is available to ensure precise measurements.

  • LIFETIME REPAIRS

    To help your leather piece last as long as possible, I provide a lifetime repairs on my craftsmanship. If over time it needs touch-ups—like refinishing edges, repainting details, or replacing metal components—I’ll be happy to fix it for free, with only material and shipping costs on your end. This guarantee applies to normal use but doesn’t cover damage from improper handling.

  • SUSTAINABILITY

    All Tough Love products use vegetable-tanned cowhide—genuine leather that’s hypoallergenic, eco-friendly, and sustainable. This traditional tanning process uses natural plant tannins, taking weeks to complete but offering superior environmental benefits. Unlike chrome-tanned leather, which dominates 90% of the market and relies on harmful chemicals for quick, cheap production, I prioritize customer health and environmental responsibility.

  • SENSITIVE SKIN

    As I exclusively work with natural, chemical-free leather, the material is inherently hypoallergenic. I also ensure the inner surface is carefully treated; it remains undyed to maintain its chemical-free qualities when in contact with your skin. The inner side is meticulously smoothed for added comfort, enhancing the experience of wearing genuine leather, which you will feel with all your senses. As you wear it, the leather will remind you with its pleasant scent and distinctive squeaky sound, reflecting the authenticity and quality of the material.

  • ORIGINALITY

    The inspiration for my bondage gear came from a desire to infuse originality into a niche often limited to black or red accessories. My love for bondage led me to carefully select rich, vibrant colors that reflect the diverse and colorful nature of the bondage world. I incorporate intricate laser-engraved ornaments, hand-painted with precision and care. I’m excited to continue developing new designs and ornaments in the future.

  • ECO-PACKAGING

    As part of my commitment to sustainability in a fast-paced world, I have ensured that the packaging of your products is eco-friendly. Your products will be carefully packed in organic cotton pouches, free from chemicals and pesticides, offering a safer option for both the environment and the workers involved in their production. You can use these pouches for future storage of your products.

  • FREE SHIPPING

    With the customer experience as my top priority, I aim to make every aspect of the process as simple and user-friendly as possible. Despite the challenges of running a handmade business, where each item is carefully created from scratch, I’m happy to offer free shipping to the following countries: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Austria, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. This makes it easier for you to shop and enjoy what your heart desires.
