Had the pleasure of recently being offered a gorgeous set of luxury bondage gear to test out, and share my thoughts on. Liebe Seele are a wonderfully deviantly-minded brand, who create and sell inventive BDSM items as well as traditional bondage restraints and punishment tools. Being somewhat kinky myself (understatement), and my favourite colour being deep red, I found it impossible to resist the offer of the Liebe Seele Metallic Shades Bondage Toys, in the gorgeous deep red, burgundy colour. This vegan-friendly BDSM gear is also available in classic black.

My Liebe Seele BDSM Gear
I received 4 items from the Liebe Seele Metallic Shades BDSM gear range, in burgundy:
- Collar with Leash – $40.95
- Wrist Cuffs (described as Hand Cuffs by Liebe Seele) – $45.95
- Flogger – $25.95
- Blindfold – $16.95
The leash is clipped to the central D ring of the collar by a trigger clip, so it can be detached and used with other bondage restraints or play items. Whatever has a clippable D or O ring, or straps. Depends how creative you want to get. The wrist cuffs clip together using a removable, dual ended trigger clip chain. This means they can be worn on wrists which are restrained separately, to bed posts or above the head to a bondage cross, for example, or clipped to each other, keeping the hands restrained close together.
This set is a gorgeous deep red colour, which instantly attracted me to it. The exact shade is described as Metallic Shades Burgundy. There’s a wonderful sheen to the red material, which is a vegan-friendly leather.
On the outer side of the collar and cuffs, the burgundy red material is glimmering PU. On the other side, there is a comfortable, padded velvet-style layer. It’s the little touches like this that elevate the Liebe Seele BDSM gear from your basic bondage kit bundle to luxurious, elegant, and long-lasting D/s equipment that has you aching to use it again.

Enjoy my short video below, showing the bondage gear I received from the Liebe Seele Metallic Shades collection, in burgundy colour. All four items, plus fastening and fit demonstrating on myself as best I can:
Fastening and Fit
As for how they fasten, Liebe Seele hasn’t skimped on the luxury touches there, either. Rather than basic steel buckle fastenings, the metallic elements of the Liebe Seele Metallic Shades Bondage Toys glisten in rose gold colour. The rose gold metal is the highlight across the set, not just in the buckle fastenings of the collar and cuffs, but also the D rings, the connecting chains, and the press studs, for example on the handles of the flogger and leash.
It’s the kind of bondage gear that you want to put on display, rather than store out of sight. A set you can be proud of owning, proud to take with you to kink parties, or wield with your kinky play partner. This isn’t the easily breakable, often unsafe to use, crackly plastic tat you find online marketplaces swamped with; cheap rubbish which is, quite frankly, an embarrassment to pull out of your kit bag. It’s deluxe, it’s comfortable, it’s safe, it’s well-made, built to last and delivers in both its practical purpose and alluring aesthetics.
Due to the thickness of the cuffs, being luxurious and padded, it took some strength to get the buckles fastened securely enough around my wrists so I couldn’t slip out of them. I have quite slender wrists, and besides, I can get my hand to almost the same width as my wrist. Just not made to be in bondage, I guess. 😉
That said, my husband is extremely strong (melts) and was able to yank the straps hard enough around my wrists (melts even more) to fasten them tight enough so that no amount of pulling on them, or manoeuvring of my fingers, could cause them to slip.
The collar fastening is similar, in terms of how it fastens. A spoke and buckle, very traditional. Both the collar and cuffs have plentiful buckle holes, meaning they will fit the majority of neck and wrist sizes.
I was able to fit and fasten the collar on myself, tight enough that it felt secure without restricting my breathing. Of course, I prefer it when he fastens it on me. There’s something extremely hot about being forced to kneel, and him walking behind me, lifting my hair and attaching a collar to my neck. Then clipping the leash to the D ring at the front, wrapping the end in his fist and tugging me to wherever he wants me to go. More on that in a little while.
I’ve worn the collar and cuffs for hours, and they’re sturdy, comfortable, and don’t chafe or hurt. They just hold in a comforting, secure grip, the padding and velvet lining adding to the sensation and experience.
During Use
We’ve used the Liebe Seele Metallic Shades Bondage Toys for various sex and kinky play sessions. As a husband and wife couple who are both Dominant, but where he Tops me and I enjoy the sensations as a bottom, our play is backed by many years of trust, knowing each other intimately, and is very sexual as well as loving and romantic. The set can be enjoyed by those with a more traditional Dom/sub dynamic; if you’re into restraining or being restrained, led around by the neck, having access to sight restricted, or inflicting/receiving flogger-style punishment, this set has it all.
When reaching for the items in this set, the collar and cuffs go on first. From there, everything else is an optional extra. Being in the collar and cuffs makes sex together instantly hotter and obviously kinky, and when the cuffs are chained together and my movement is restricted, I enjoy it even more. Having him clip the leash to the central D ring of the collar gives me such a warm, tingly feeling – between my legs, as well as taking over my mind.
The fact that both of these chain additions can be completely removed from the cuffs and the collar is brilliant. It makes putting the items on simpler, with no metal chain dangling around threatening to hit someone in the face by accident. It also means the cuffs can be chained to something else; clipping both wrists’ D-rings together with one end, and the other to an item of furniture, for example, Or to the D-ring on the collar, keeping my hands up in a pretty begging gesture.
Adding the blindfold changes things for the wearer quite dramatically. Going from having a collar and cuffs on, especially with a clipped-on leash ready to be led anywhere, to having your ability to see removed, is profoundly exciting. Especially when it turns out I’m led to where I’m bent over furniture and given a sound arse punishment with the flogger that turns my cheeks hotly red, making it difficult to rest the glowing skin on my heels when I’m then led to kneel between his legs, and my mouth somehow ends up full of his very ready cock.
I wasn’t expecting such an intense punishment from the small-size flogger. I guess it depends on the wielder’s depth of vicious intent. A fast, snapping stroke impacts sharply, the multitude of tails stinging my creamy flesh. Then when he takes pity on me, having been made to yelp and lurch forwards, unable to see and unable to move too far as his other hand retains a firm grip on the handle of my leash, he uses those same tails to gently tease my accessible playholes, my aching for use pussy. The contrast between sharp punishment and loving, gentle teasing has me flinching and leaking in equal measure.
Back to the blindfold. When he first put it on me, I could still see the floor and light came in around the nose area. This blindfold is properly eye mask shaped, so doesn’t suffer the light-allowing element that simple oval styles do. However, we still had to ensure that the blindfold was fitted to me as tight as physically possible to block out light and remove my ability to get hints as to my bearings and use them to move about. It’s a good job I’m honest with my partner, and want to have the most intense, immersive experience possible.
After Use
Due to the nature of the materials, I wouldn’t clean the items in the Liebe Seele Metallic Shades Bondage Toys by submerging them in water. If anything needs cleaning after use, it’s a case of a careful wipe down with a cloth on the outer, PU material, and spot-clean the velvet-style lining. I’d avoid using any harsh chemicals in case you bleach or otherwise damage the fabrics. Leave to air dry before storage.

Final Verdict
We’ve really enjoyed, and still regularly enjoy, the items we received from the Liebe Seele Metallic Shades Bondage Toys range. It isn’t just kinky, comfortable and safe to use, it’s also pretty enough to be on display in our bedroom in between play sessions. Why put up with cheap plastic tat which is almost disposable in nature, potentially unsafe, and frequently uncomfortable, when you could buy your choice of affordable deluxe BDSM gear from the Liebe Seele Metallic Shades range?
The items I’ve covered in this review are all purchasable separately from Liebe Seele, and available in burgundy as shown, or classic black. As well as the wrist cuffs, collar and leash, flogger, and blindfold I now happily own, this Metallic Shades vegan-friendly collection also includes a breathable ball gag, a collar with attached nipple clamps, and ankle cuffs.
