Oscar Wilde once said "Clothes should hang from the shoulders, not from the waist!"

It is said that the first braces and suspenders were made in Lodon by Albert Thurston and sold in his shop at 27 Paton Street, Haymarket, London in 1820. In those days they were made from fabric, but the recent trend has been for them to be made in leather. The Bondage Store features two styles one with a 25mm (1inch) wide strap and the other with a 38mm (1.5inch) wide strap.
