Michigan Kink Shop 'Noir Leather' Under New Ownership

ROYAL OAK, M.I. — The long-established Noir Leather brick-and-mortar outlet in Royal Oak, Michigan is now under new ownership as its founder has passed the torch to Arbor Laclave and the store's "resident orgasm expert," Castratta Lady of Pain.

"Established Dec, 17, 1983, Noir Leather has long been an iconic brand for the counter culture in SE Michigan and a safe haven for individuals seeking to learn more about kink and find BDSM products and tools," a rep said.

"A U.S, Army veteran, Arbor put his life savings into investing into the business that he and Castratta long shared ambitious dreams for. Building a more inclusive environment for sexual enlightenment, entertainment and education, Noir Leather is now a black veteran- and female-owned business," continued the rep.

"Over the last 10 months, Laclave and Pain have renovated the retail space to be ADA compliant; they've started to carry a wider variety of adult products that appeal to the LGBT+ community and their leather and lingerie selection has grown to include all body types," the rep noted. "These modest changes are only the beginning, though. These driven, young kinksters have their goals set upon expanding the brand's market reach by manufacturing signature leather goods, building a webstore and taking the business' legendary 'Hellbound events' to the next level with a more diverse cast of talent."

Castratta Lady of Pain was recently profiled by the Detroit Metro Times; click here for that story.
