PORTLAND, OR (May 9, 2016) – Portland-based BDSM products company Spartacus Leathers is pleased to announce its nomination for Fetish Company of the Year for the 10th Annual StorErotica Awards. Recognizing excellence in the adult retail community, the 2016 StorErotica Awards laud those in the brick and mortar storefront, distributing, and manufacturing levels.

“We’re honored to receive this nomination from our peers,” says Spartacus Leathers Vice President Josh Miller. “Bringing high-quality BDSM products to the bedrooms, dungeons, and play parties of fetishists everywhere has been our primary goal now for nearly three decades. The repeat business of our customers, and the high praise they have volunteered on sites such as Yelp, proves we have a successful formula. We are committed to maintaining our customers’ high standards, and thank StorErotica Magazine, and all of the voters, for this nomination. See you at ANME!”

Industry members are encouraged to submit their votes for Spartacus Leathers for Fetish Company of the Year. Voting for the 2016 StorErotica Awards runs May 11th through May 23rd at http://StoreroticaAwards.com.

Founded in 1987 by “Big Al” Bedrosian, Spartacus Leathers began in the basement of the original Portland retail store. By providing high-quality, handcrafted kink gear, and under Big Al’s supervision, which included decades of experience in a variety of adult retail outlets, the company grew quickly to become a decades-long mainstay of the BDSM and adult communities.

A visionary pioneer of the BDSM products industry, Big Al passed in 2013; Spartacus Leathers honors his legacy by continuing to produce a full line of carefully crafted leather, metal, rubber, and glass items. From clamps, whips, floggers, and chastity devices, to leather goods varying from collars, leashes, blindfolds, body harnesses, and more, Spartacus Leathers’ products are highly valued, both in Portland as well as around the world. The company’s glass dildo and anal plug line, Blown, continues to receive rave reviews, and its Kink Kit is an often-sought product as gifts and introductory purchase for beginner fetishists. The company recently received Best Fetish Manufacturer honors at the 2016 AVN Awards.

Winners for the 10th Annual StorErotica Awards will be announced during a special awards gala event on Monday, July 18th, during the ANME Founders Show. The world’s premier adult novelty B2B show, the ANME Founders Show represents the latest in the adult novelty and toy industries, featuring adult toys, novelties, lubricants, lingerie, and games.
