To celebrate our little site taking off so fast, we did a photo shoot! Once we’ve sorted through all of our gorgeous collar shots, we’ll post some of them on the site. Check back next week for pictures of our new metallic gold leather and other beautiful collar and cuff options, as displayed by our wonderful models.

In the meantime, check out this awesome pic from the shoot of Depth Charger in their Collar Factory collars:

Our monthly collar contest is up on the forum! All you have to do is put one of our banners on your web page, post the link, and you’ll be entered to win $35 off your next collar purchase. Hurry on over to the forum and enter before May 1st.

Those of you who live in Portland should definitely check out Depth Charger at Satyricon this Tuesday, April 17th. These dudes and lady put on an awesome prog rock/metal show. Check out how good their bassist, Vieve, looks in our collar! The show is six bucks, all ages plus a full bar… the best of all worlds. Satyricon is at 125 NW 6th Ave in downtown Portland, OR.

We are so excited for this year’s Convergence! Yes, we’re a vendor, and that’s part of it. But aside from that, we’re thrilled to be part of the group of people from all over the country who will be converging to take in goth-industrial bands, pre-Raphaelite art, short films, vendors, fashion, and more. We’re sure it’s a week when lots of cool people will be descending on our hometown of Portland, Oregon, and we can’t wait to take part. If you’ll be at this gathering, come by our booth to meet our staff and check out our collars. Only 30 vendors are allowed to sell products at Convergence 13. The staff lets in vendors whom they determine show “high quality and craftsmanship” - and they picked us! This year’s Convergence Vendor’s Bazaar is called “Ballyhoo’s Market,” in keeping with the gathering’s theme, “A Dark Victorian Dream.”

When we’ve got stories to share about collars in the world at large, we’ll post them here! We’re mostly here to make custom collars for you. But those interesting collar stories have got to be out there, and this is the place to read about them!
