LOS ANGELES — Last month, the internet went crazy when residential “BadGal” Rihanna debuted her lingerie line, Savage X Fenty. Now, the Barbadian singer, songwriter, actress and businesswoman is venturing into adult-esque novelty products with her Savage Xccessories.
Featuring the tagline “Kink it up a notch in our handcuffs, kitty whip, eye mask and more,” the new line offers a variety of colors and textiles (such as lace, satin and chiffon). The 10-piece lineup also includes restraints, a lace eye mask and pasties. The items range from $18-24.
The leather nipple pasties, satin pasties and both riding crops sold out almost immediately, but are still available for pre-order.
The collection had been previously announced via social media, but was made available for purchase yesterday. Some fans, and internet conspiracy theorists, believe the line was released to coincide with the album release of singer/rapper Drake, who was previously linked to Rihanna.
Rihanna is no stranger to kink. Her hit song “S&M” made waves when it debuted in 2010, many believing that it was the first time BDSM had been exposed to mainstream, five years before the premiere of “Fifty Shades of Grey.” The lyrics, most famously “sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me,” have since replaced the age old saying, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,” in the eyes of millennials — creating copious Twitter memes and Vines.
