If you’ve been wondering what we’ve been up to over the last little while, we’ve got some exciting news. We’ve created several garments for The Box museum in Plymouth, which has recently received a multi-million-pound investment.

Westward Bound is much more than a clothing store. We have an ethos for cultural-engagement and adore the creative arts; this stems from a lifelong involvement and love of art, music, dance, style, architecture, great food and a passion for life. Whilst we excel in original latex clothing fashion design, we are defined, to a large part, by our use of portraiture and beautiful imagery. In line with this we have developed and built-up, over a period of 35 years, strong international relationships with leading artists, models and photographers. The... Read More

Mixing it with our latex clothing was a stroke of pure genius. Sticking to the small landing beach on the island, Hayley and Jon grabbed some stunning shots that truly reflect the majestic beauty of Plymouth, the choice of HQ for Westward Bound.... Read More

Blast from the past, 1984. With several members of the Westward Bound team dancing the night away to Depeche Mode at the O2 Arena in London, on Wednesday night, our minds wandered back to the early years of this amazing English band. Our first garment from way back in 1984. The “Dominatrix” T.Shirt designed by the late Terry Ryan, worn by the lovely Martin Gore of Depeche Mode on the UK’s Top of the Pops. Der Putsch was part of our trail blazing adventure within the world of London’s fetish... Read More

With our brand new latex clothing collection being launched we needed to create a photograph that represented its quality and thought processes. What better than to hold a photo shoot within a pleasant Georgian house in the natural beauty of Devon, England. Being proud of our identity and heritage as a design style company the correct image is of paramount importance. Subtle nods to lineage and references pervade throughout, look out for the “Arts and Crafts” Chalice as well as a certain piece of artwork by Jamie Reid that reflects... Read More

2018 is heading our way and we are extremely excited at Westward Bound. We have been working flat out since the spring of 2017 on pulling together classic and stylish brand new latex clothing designs; the Dom Elègence Collection. The design narrative has been the fetish/BDSM roots of the latex “dressing for pleasure” scene fused with the high-end fashion sense and style that you would expect from a célèbre couturier latex. We thought it would be fun to share a few advance images with you. The models and photographers working... Read More
