Product Review: Art With Latex choker

Art With Latex is a two-person design team from Texas that makes the ultimate accessories to wear with fetish gowns – original latex necklaces and bracelets squeezed and sculpted from a tube. We’ve been getting some great feedback about them from our readers since featuring them as an Oddity back in July, and when Kurt and Adam offered us a selection from their catalog, what else could we choose but the Black Horn Choker? From looking through their customer galleries, this seems to be one of their most popular pieces.

Now, you think this looks good in the catalog? Wait til you see it in person! There are tiny veins all throughout the wings, with raised dots and an elegant curl on the “latch” in the back. The colors are vibrant, totally standing out against the skin and attracting immediate notice. And it’s quite comfy – lightweight and flexible, the texture is akin to wearing an elegant gummi worm. The designers “know of no one else on the planet who currently does this,” and at 800+ reviews and counting, neither does the Chateau – so this is one of those shops where fellow clubgoers will either recognize your piece right away, or hound you all night about where you got it. Not to mention, each one is hand-signed.

The designs are arrived at through a combination of drawing, painting, and precisely aiming the tip of the bottle, and this takes some serious skill considering how intricate their designs can get – everything from fierce tribal points to delicate swirling abounds, so there’s something for everyone, and the prices are also great for this level of detail and originality. Just don’t leave them on the dashboard of your car!
