Digital Bear Weekend: KStraps by Kip Silva

Kyle Jackson

KStraps is a NYC-based vegan leather company started by designer and Brooklyn native Kip Silva. The brand was started after Kip noticed a high demand for fetish wear in the bear community. 

KStraps held two bear fetish wear fashion shows in December and February. The were the first ever bear fashion shows to be presented at the Rockbar, NYC’s favorite spot for bear events and inclusive vibes!

The KStraps fetish wear fashion shows included some very hot bear models showing off their assets in custom-fitted jocks, harnesses and faux leather gear! Check out some hot photos of KStraps gear, including some shots from both fashion shows and some behind the scenes photos as well!
