When I went to pick up the days mail and saw my EdenFantasys package I was excited as usual and couldn't wait to see what treat lay in store for me. Little did I know when I opened the box that not only would I be gifted a new toy, but also an opportunity to reflect on the simple pleasures in life. When I opened the package containing the Bound Leash and held the leash in my hands my immediate reaction - was "hmph is that all?" Now you must keep in mind, being the proud kitty that I am, one who is very outspoken with extremely discriminating taste (and a long time wearer of many leashes and collars|Leashes & Collars - BDSM accessories), I had expected a bit more when I received the "Bound Leash by Kinklab|Bound leash - Leash by Kinklab" to review. I must admit, I was not initially very motivated to review this in any more than a perfunctory manner. I expect by anyone's standards this will be considered a "basic" leash. However as I walked back to my home and continued to handled the leash, I was surprised by how soft and supple the leather was. I then noticed the clasp which is well made and sturdy. It was then that I recalled a quote I once read.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." ~Leonardo DaVinci

Yes, this leash is undecorated and unadorned, but that simplicity is its strength. No metal studs or gems to scratch the skin or tangle your hair. This is a good beginner leash for those looking to explore their inner animal. This leash is made of really nice soft smooth leather. Unlike some others I have, I found it to be very comfortable against my skin. The swivel clip is a nice quality feature which makes it easy to move about without getting tangled - so without any reservations... I am glad to add this straight forward no non-sense accessory to my collection.

Although I usually prefer being on a leash in the confines of our home and rolling around on thick plush carpet, I was delighted when my husband took me for a midnight stroll on my new red leash.
