If you are looking for gear that feels like a piece of art and works like a professional tool, you need to meet Ray (RayRabbit). As the creative force behind Underground Leather, Ray is an Atlanta-based, self-taught leatherworker. They have spent their career evolving from a pet stylist into what they now call a “sadomasochist enabler”.
Ray’s vision is defined by nature and whimsy. This theme stands out because it moves away from traditional black leather aesthetics. Their work often incorporates organic shapes that feel like they were pulled from a dark fairytale.
Their Current Most Popular Items Include:
- The Hitachi-wand and Dildo bootstrap harnesses. Designed to strap a vibrating wand or dildo to your boot. It has a wide range of adjustability, from standard size up to a 4E extra-wide boot. Perfect for needy boot sluts and bootblacks that like to get a little freaky with their shine.
- Rabbit Ears. Don’t let the cute name fool you, this toy is deceptively mean. Think of these toys as a hybrid of paddles + dragon tails. It’s stingy and delivers a pop that echos across the dungeon, but you don’t have to be an expert at aiming 3 feet of tail to deliver that blow. It’s a great toy for beginner tops and useful in small play spaces where whips can’t be thrown as effectively.
- Bunny beaters are the latest toy to come out of the studio, and it came out swinging! A 1.5 pound bat, created with wrapped bull hide and a rabbit fur sheath. This toy provides deep, thuddy impact and soft sensational play in one toy.They also bring the whimsy to paddles with the Autumn maple leaf paddle. The maple leaf paddle is another multi-use toy where the tips of the leaf can be used for pinpoint body drumming and it’s cute enough to be discrete wall decor in your cottage-core home. Seems to be popular amongst Canadians for some reason 🤔Last but not least: they feature a rotating selection of one-of-a-kind floggers. Every flogger is uniquely crafted with carefully curated hides and to give it some pizzazz. All handles and weighted and hand stitched.
The Artisan Promise: Zero AI and Sustainable Craft Underground Leather is making a bold stand for human craftsmanship. Ray has a strict No AI policy. They do not use artificial intelligence for marketing, photo editing, or brainstorming. Every design and every stitch is a 100% human-driven effort.
Ray is also dedicated to waste reduction. Their commitment to the environment includes:
Eco-Packaging: 95% of the packaging is biodegradable or compostable.
The Scrap Pile: To minimize leather waste, Ray creates budget-friendly toys from scrap material. This ensures every inch of high-quality leather is used rather than ending up in a landfill.
Catch Them on Tour Ray is currently on a vendor market tour. This means custom orders are on pause until July. However, their ready-to-ship and made-to-order inventory remains fully available. The LoftNC fair is your chance to snag a boutique piece in person before they head to the next stop on their tour.
