Virtue & Valour

Virtue & Valour was created to redefine harnesses as we knew them.

When I launched the brand in 2016, finding a well-made harness was surprisingly difficult. Every piece in my collection has been created with thought and intention for the wearer. They're playful, versatile, incredibly durable, and designed to stand up to real use.

My goal has always been to empower people from all walks of life to explore pleasure and vulnerability with intention. If we don't compromise on quality in the rest of our lives, why should we compromise in the bedroom?

Over the years, Virtue & Valour has become known for creating cruelty-free harnesses that fit every body. After nearly a decade of refining my designs, they're recognized for their comfort, durability, and highly accurate fit.

When I first started making harnesses, there were very few feminine styles available, and most were black, limited in design, and poorly fitting.

As someone living in a plus-size body, I knew different body shapes needed different proportions. To achieve the look and fit I envisioned, I developed highly size-specific designs that celebrate a wider range of bodies.

I also moved away from traditional leather after discovering that it stretched over time and lost the supportive, "hug-like" feeling I wanted my harnesses to provide. After extensive testing, I chose Biothane—a cruelty-free material that offered better durability, comfort, and performance. At the time, no one else was using it to create adult lifestyle products, and it's become one of the things that sets Virtue & Valour apart.

The most rewarding part has been seeing how every person makes my designs their own.

Watching people reinterpret my pieces, express themselves through them, and experience the joy they bring is incredibly fulfilling. Knowing my work inspires confidence, creativity, and self-expression is why I continue creating.

I'll be bringing my original handmade harnesses and collars for attendees to explore in person. Every piece is handcrafted with durability, comfort, and versatility in mind, making them as functional as they are beautiful.

I only visit Ottawa a few times each year, making CLIMAX one of the rare opportunities to experience Virtue & Valour in person. Attendees will be able to see the craftsmanship up close, ask questions, and—most importantly—try pieces on before purchasing.

I'm always excited to be part of sex-positive conferences and sexual wellness events. They create opportunities for education, community, and conversations that encourage people to explore themselves without shame.

To me, sexual wellness is your relationship with yourself and with others on a sexual level. It's an all-encompassing approach that recognizes the physical, emotional, and personal aspects of our sexuality and how they all work together.
