Feeling Adventurous?

Impact-full

Professional-grade impact toys — precision, durability, and aesthetic beauty.

Every piece is handcrafted by Mike Menard, ensuring the balance and "thud" of each item is perfected before it hits our shelves.

Custom Floggers

Engineered for various sensations from "stingy" to "thuddy." Mike hand-cuts each tail from premium cowhide, deerskin, or exotic leathers for consistent weight and flow.

Hand-Turned Handles

Turned on a lathe from reclaimed Cajun Country cypress or exotic hardwoods like Bocote and Padauk. Also available: weighted metal handles and dual-use glass dildo handles.

Slappers & Paddles

Crafted from high-density woods, metal, and reinforced leather — designed for longevity and impact control.

Bondage Wear

Tailored for comfort, built for command.

Every piece of W.E.L.P. gear prioritizes skin-friendly leather linings for a soft, non-chafing feel — even during extended wear.

Standard Hardware

D-rings, chevron harness connectors, spikes and embellishments — available in gold or silver tones.

Superior Adjustability

Nickel-plated adjustable brass buckles that hold position under pressure. We offer a vast range of sizes — from the most petite wrist to the burliest neck.

Custom Upgrades Available

Stainless steel hardware on request for maximum durability and hypoallergenic properties. All W.E.L.P. gear is handcrafted to order.

The Difference You Can Feel

Why Handcrafted Matters

When you choose a handmade piece from CRAVE, you aren't just buying a product — you're investing in quality over quantity.

🌿

Unique Character

Because we use natural hides, no two items are exactly alike. The "imperfections" in the leather are what make it authentic.

⚒️

Built to Last

Hand-stitched seams and finished edges ensure these pieces survive the rigors of daily use far longer than mass-produced alternatives.

🎁

The Perfect Gift

Many of our leather goods can be personalized — ideal for groomsmen gifts, anniversaries, or any milestone worth celebrating.
