Modesty Ablaze visits . . . @HonourClothing in Waterloo

I’ve had a lot of fun over the past few weekends wearing-in the set of Rubber Wrist and Ankle Cuffs, from Honour.co.uk, that I reviewed here several weeks ago. By “wearing-in” I don’t mean that I’ve been wearing them myself of course . . . rather I’ve used them on several of my subs during some fun sessions at my favourite chambers . . . and they’ve proved very useful indeed!

Now I’ve always loved the fabulous range of clothing and accessories available from Honour, particularly their amazingly priced latex range and their wonderful selection of body-stockings. And over the past four years or so I’ve purchased, or had purchased for me, lots of clothing items, and even my wonderful thigh-high red boots which I am so often asked about . . . from the fabulous Honour website.

So when I was invited to visit their Central London shop in Waterloo recently,
I just couldn’t resist !!!

Located in a lovely little street called Lower Marsh, it is literally just around the corner from Waterloo station, so really easy to get to by tube, rail or bus. Instantly recognisable from the distinctive Honour logo above the display window, one has to ring the bell to enter, but don’t be put-off, that just adds to the intimacy and personal-nature of the shop. We were immediately greeted by a lovely smiling young lady who opened the door for us and welcomed us in.

The shop was Honour’s founding store, opened 30 years ago, and inside is like an Aladdin’s cave of wall-to-wall garments, neatly displayed on impressive hanger-racks on each side of the long galley-shaped ground-floor. The actual sight of so many wonderful and colourful items was almost overwhelming at first, but actually everything is so neatly arranged in size and style . . . and the two lovely young ladies Amy and Anita so charming and helpful . . . that I quickly felt completely at ease, and able to indulge myself in browsing from rack to rack.

The ground-floor largely features Honour’s Women’s Wear with a wonderful array of PVC and Leather, Latex and Wetlook, Basques & Corsets, Dresses, Tops, Skirts, Bras, Catsuits, Leggings & Trousers, Jackets, Stockings & Suspenders, Body-Stockings, Knickers and Lingerie.

I was in my element . . . and soon had several hangers-worth of items that I simply had to try on.

The changing rooms have been cleverly and stylishly designed to make the best of the available space with ample mirrors and lighting . . . and Amy and Anita were both wonderfully patient in taking turns with helping me with the zips and buttons,
in-between serving and helping other customers at the same time, and advising on the most suitable size to best fit my bumps and curves.

Putting my preferred selections to one side . . . so that I could come back to them and be sure that I had made the right choices . . . I then led Hubby upstairs which houses the Men’s Wear and Bondage items and “toys”.

Now as you can probably imagine, I already have quite an extensive collection of restraints and impact implements, but a fabulous thorny-stemmed Riding Crop (see below) quickly caught my eye, and a few short gulps from Hubby as I tapped it gently against the palm of his hand.

Just like the ground floor every space is, stylishly, packed with an amazing array of clothing and some very interesting dildos, vibrators and accessories.

I enjoyed browsing . . . and teasing Hubby with some rather large insertables . . . but decided to stick with my new crop, and instructed him to follow me back downstairs.

As I mentioned earlier, Honour do have a fabulous website which is perfectly laid-out, easy to use and categorizes their complete and comprehensive range of wonderful items. And there is a helpful touch-screen tablet on a stand near the downstairs counter, which makes it easy to search for specific items one may be interested in, or have seen on the website earlier.

But for me, as you might imagine, I much prefer being “hands-on” in everything I do . . . so nothing beats being able to browse in a real shop, to touch and feel . . . and of course to try things on. And it was nice to see other couples, browsing and purchasing whilst we were there, who obviously felt the same way.

And of course, the helpful and knowledgeable attention and advice from Amy and Anita made my shopping feel even more special . . . so I really do recommend you visit and experience some Honour for yourself.

The shop at Lower Marsh (SE1 7AB) is open Monday to Friday from 10.30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed on Sundays). There is also a store in Watford (WD18 7EN), with directions to both on their website.

The Modesty Disclaimer: I was given a voucher for my honest and un-biased review here. But I loved my time in the shop so much that I spent much more . . . or should I say, I made Hubby spend much more . . . because after-all a lady deserves spoiling occasionally doesn’t she !!!
