“We’re just taking a little summer vacation after July 13 while we restock and reorganise our shelves, so we can bring you an even better selection of LatexExpress items in the future!”

But even though it’s not really closing down, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a LateExpress closing down sale.

There is! But only until midnight on Monday July 13. So you’ll need to get your skates on if you want to snag a bargain.

This July flash sale is offering 50 percent off all LatexExpress off-the-peg stock, with a few ‘summer sizzlers’ at an even more generous 70 percent discount dotted around the website.

Great half price deals available at the beginning of the sale included the Patrol Police Dress and V Neck Catsuit, both reduced from £129.99 to £65, Monica Corset down from £289.95 to £144.98, and Male Matrix Catsuit down from £259.95 to £129.98.
