Leather can mean many different things to each individual and our goal is to help encourage and empower you to discover what it means to you. Many have found within the Leather ideals a sense of family, community, education, and service. Some of these ideals may resonate with you and you may discover others as well. We hope to inspire and cultivate a sense of belonging and fellowship in the Colorado community and to bring people from all walks of life together to acknowledge, appreciate and authentically live Leather in whatever form that takes for them. Let’s all come together to cherish and celebrate the deep roots of the kink community all while innovating and making things our own in a way that builds upon solid foundations.
