Our retail store opened its doors in February of 1998 as Fetishes Boutique after two years of operating as a home and catalog business. We changed the name in 2004 as we expanded our merchandise from traditional fetish wear (leather, rubber, etc.) to include high fashion theatrical wardrobe  in sizes XXS-8XL.

In October of 2007, we expanded into two stores, PASSIONAL Boutique and the adults-only  Sexploratorium   .
In 2013,  we moved both locations into our current building at 317 South Street

We send  an email to let them know how much they’ve earned and how they can redeem their store credit.

AFFILIATE DISCOUNTS: Members of Affiliate groups (groups/clubs who link themselves to our websites) receive 10% off the lowest marked price of all items. In addition to community affiliates, our stores also offer a 10% South Street discount to staff of other businesses located on South Street when those employees sign up for rewards.

LAYAWAY: Customers can place items on layaway by making a 20% deposit, making at least one payment per month, and paying off the remaining balance within 90 days. Any merchandise not paid for in full within 90 days (or for which no partial has been received in the last 45 days) will be put back on our sales floor and all deposits/payments will be forfeited. In an effort to help our customers pay for their layaways in a timely manner, all customers will receive reminders from our store managers regarding the status of their layaway. A layaway made after October 1st must be paid off by Halloween, and a layaway placed after Halloween must be paid off by the end of the year. Clearance items are not eligible for layaway.

For items that we have not carried before, we can take a customer’s contact information and a small deposit of $20, then research the possibility of getting the desired item, and then contact them with the item’s estimated retail price and shipment time. If we are unable to get the item the deposit can be fully refunded. If we are able to get the item and the customer is no longer interested, they can apply the deposit towards another purchase.

Some persons (independent artists/designers) will consign brand new merchandise that will help promote their brand and others will consign pre-owned merchandise that will provide more affordable options that do not impact the environment or creation of trash.

BINDER DONATION PROGRAM Customers can bring us their gently used chest binders, which we will then donate to a local queer organization. In exchange, the customer will receive 10% off of their purchase.
