LEATHERBOUND WAS STARTED AFTER DOING LEATHER WORK FOR 

                          FRIENDS THIS WAS IN THE MID 80'S AND ALL OF US WHERE IN BANDS 

                         AND BEING YOUR BASIC METAL HEADS. DUE TO THEIR ENCOURAGE-

                         MENT I STARTED TAKING MY ITEMS, (MOSTLY BELTS AT THE TIME)  

                         TO STORES AND SALES STARTED.

                         NOW THAT I WAS SELLING I NEEDED A BUSINESS NAME AND THAT  

                        CAME  COURTESY OF METAL BAND BITCH.  

                         IT WASN'T LONG AFTER THAT WITH GROWING INTEREST I BEGAN

                         SELLING TO STORES THAT THEY BEGAN TO REQUEST MORE ITEMS,

                         MOSTLY THEY WERE LOOKING FOR BETTER MADE ITEMS OR THINGS

                         THEY COULD NOT FIND.

                         THIS BEGAN THE ADULT PRODUCT LINE. SALES WERE GOOD DO TO 

                        THE ATTENTION I GAVE TO COMFORT. NOT BEING INTO BONDAGE

                        I COULDN'T SEE WHY PEOPLE WERE PAYING FOR PRODUCTS THAT 

                        ARE POORLY MADE AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, ISN'T THE PAIN

                        SUPPORTIVE BE FROM THE ACT OF PLEASURE AND NOT THE CRAPPY

                        MADE RESTRAINT DIGGING IN TO YOUR SKIN?

                         IT WASN'T LONG TO PEOPLE IN THE ADULT WORLD CAME TO KNOW

                        LEATHERBOUND FOR ITS QUALITY AND FAIR PRICING. SALES TOOK 

                        OF AND I STARTED TO SUPPLY STORE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AS 

                        TIME PAST I STARTED TO LOOK FOR MORE. ARMOR, THAT'S WHAT I 

                        STARTED TO SEE AND GET REQUESTS FOR. I ALWAYS LIKE THE OLD

                        AGES AND GROWING UP DOING THE RENAISSANCE SHOWS FOR MY 

                        SISTERS BUSINESS THE LEATHER ROSE IT SEEMED ONLY NATURAL.

                        ONCE AGAIN I SAW PEOPLE SPENDING ALOT OF MONEY ON VERY

                        LITTLE. MY ARMOR TOOK OFF AND I QUICKLY BEGAN TO EXPAND 

                        THE LINE TO COVER MANY TIME PERIODS INCLUDING FANTASY

                        COSTUMES.

                        TO SUM UP THIS STORY, ITS BEEN SIXTEEN YEARS SINCE I STARTED

                        LEATHERBOUND AND THINGS ARE GOING ON. THIS IS OUR FIRST 

                        ATTEMPT AT A WEB SITE AND I CAN ONLY HOPE YOU LIKE IT. IN 

                        THE FUTURE I WILL ALWAYS BRING YOU A QUALITY PRODUCT THAT

                        IS PRICED REASONABLY. SOME THINK IM OLD FASHIONED BUT I STILL

                        BELIEVE IN A QUALITY ITEM AT A FAIR PRICE.

                        THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND REMEMBER " LIFE'S SHORT, HAVE

                        FUN ".
