The Happy Tails Flogger and Whip Website
Only The Best...
How It All Began...
Happy Tails began when we combined our talents to create quality toys for our own use. We brought skills from the construction industry, aerospace technology, and down-home country ranch skills, among other things. We are a committed couple living in the rural mountains, the quiet side of wine country, in northern California.p>
SHE -
She brings the skills to work from mastering numerous hobbies, including sewing, handspinning, quilting, and knitting, and years of raising various livestock. She grew up in a household of artists, and there is no replacement for such a lifetime of immersion and education. You will see this perfection in every flogger and whip we make. Happy Tails is proudly original in form, creation, and inspiration. We prefer to lead rather than copy.
"Almost all my hobbies over the years have included competition for awards of excellence, from the local county fair level to national shows. This taught me about finish, presentation, and preciseness of execution in my crafts, and I carry these important qualities over into my leather work. I take a lot of pride in braiding our beautiful traditionally-patterned handles, and finishing a perfect flogger with handsome pineapple knots! I want you to feel confident when you play with a Happy Tails flogger in your hand."
HE -
He came from the big city and fell in love with the countryside and quiet rural life. He brings industrial skills from the metal and aerospace industries, and his passion for fine woodworking, sailing, and other interests. He has a passion for perfection, details, and uses advanced methods to build our beautiful floggers. He is half of the team and a great partner.
"It takes skill and experience to craft the inner flogger for her to finish; if it doesn't start out *right*, it won't finish up to our standards! We don't sell "seconds", ever! Leather is a "living" thing, and only time and experience, and one's ability to perceive results, teaches the finer points of working with it. Every step of the construction process requires attention."
He believes Customer Service is the highest priority. We take great pride in delivering on our promises and taking care of our customers. Happy Tails is hugely satisfying to both of us.
WE -
Are pretty much out about our kink; having this opportunity to
accept ourselves and grow strong in it has been a gift to us. We are
a part of the San Francisco and Northern Cali "scene". We are
members of a number of national and local organizations. We are a
vendor at most major West Coast leather/lgtb/bdsm events and many
National and Title events around the country. Perhaps the most "fun"
part of our work are the days we buy our hides, but even more so,
the events we vend at, and getting to meet our customers face to
face.
We believe in supporting the leather and bdsm communities in all aspects of our lives, and to that end we participate in community charities and events so that we ALL may live better, more fuller lives, and enjoy wiitwd without fear of prejudice! We encourage you to play responsibly, with care and knowledge. We support the environment and ask you to avoid buying Third World leather goods - it is the cause of a huge amount of toxic pollution and contamination around the globe, and some of these countries support major human rights violations, like women being stoned to death! Please, pay a little bit more for "clean, green" leather and help the Earth and humankind! We only buy leather that meets our philosophical and environmental standards (we may be the only flogger company that stands by our beliefs in this way).
We encourage you to support your local leather/lgtb/bdsm community, and to participate whenever/wherever possible in national community events.
