Le Boutique Bazaar XXXmas ’23 preview with full A-Z vendor list
This coming Sunday, lodged between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Le Boutique Bazaar XXXmas returns to For Your Eyes Only for LBB’s final pop-up shopping experience of 2023. Tony Mitchell recounts the delights of attending these events (not least for newbies curious about the scene) and provides pictures from October’s LBB to back his claims up. Our article also includes a full A-Z list of vendors set for this Sunday’s edition
Le Boutique Bazaar Xxxmas, taking place in London on Sunday November 26, will be the last edition of this very popular fetish/alt-fashion pop-up shopping event to be held in 2023.
Hosted jointly by Torture Garden and Charmskool at For Your Eyes Only, the “modern gents’ club” in a City Road basement barely a fling of a poledancer’s thong from Old Street tube station, LBB XXXmas will play host to just shy of 50 artisan designer brands offering custom latex, corsetry, extravagant millinery, hand made lingerie, luxury leather, and avant-garde couture of all kinds at direct-to-customer prices.
Since the event is taking place between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can also be sure that many of the exhibiting brands will have Black Friday reductions on offer and will be presenting some special Kinkmas items too.
Like every edition of this event, Le Boutique Bazaar XXXmas is bound to be as much of a social event as a shopping adventure. With its six-hour trading slot from 1pm to 7pm, LBB has no dresscode — but plenty of visitors take advantage of the opportunity it provides to dress up in their Sunday fetish best, to browse, mingle and neck a cocktail or three from the bar.
Furthermore, those who dress to impress can, generally (if they wish) get photographed in their finery by one or more of the scene photographers who regularly attend the event and usually have some time to spare between shooting the various fetish models who walk around the venue sporting outfits and accessories from the day’s vendors.
The vibe at LBB is ultra-friendly and provides an ideal way for the curious to experience the
social side of the scene without making the commitment of attending a full-on fetish dresscode party.
I put this to the test at LBB’s October 8 event, when I took a neighbour of mine along to check it out, while I shot photographs around the exhibitors’ stands.
She had expressed curiosity about various aspects of the scene and I could think of no better way to provide a gentle introduction to it than the completely non-threatening (but also stimulating) social and shopping experience LBB offers.
Safe to say she thoroughly enjoyed it (and spent some money on a purchase too). So I felt thoroughly vindicated in recommending it to her as a way of dipping a toe in the water. My pictures from around that October event now illustrate this article, and should give a pretty clear impression of the kind of products and people you can expect to see there this coming Sunday.
Le Boutique Bazaar hosts Charlotte and Alexandra have also been kind enough to furnish The Fetishistas with a full list of this Sunday’s vendors, so you can easily check whether your favourites are going to be there, and also perhaps earmark some names that may be new to you, to check out in the flesh for the first time.
Le Boutique Bazaar XXXmas is at For Your Eyes Only, 23 City Road, London ECiY 1AG (nearest Tube: Old Street) from 13:00 to 19:00 on Sunday November 26. Tickets (via Dice) offer timed entry slots at £7 or any time entry at £8.
