The pace of life moves ever forward, and as I enter my seventh decade, it’s time to take stock. After 30 years of making latex gear and 10 years as a business, it is with a little sadness I announce the RB Originals retail website will be closing in February 2026. I won’t be hanging up my glue brushes and putting away the rotary cutters completely, but it will be the end of RB Originals as a production business. It was a difficult decision and a number of factors influenced the decision – ever increasing regulation and rules in obtaining materials and running the online retail site being the main ones, alongside health issues as I get older. I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years and hope to see my gear still being worn in the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le rythme de la vie ne cesse d’acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer, et alors que j’entre dans ma septi\u00e8me d\u00e9cennie, il est temps pour reflexion. Apr\u00e8s 30 ans pass\u00e9s \u00e0 fabriquer des tenue de latex et 10 ans d’activit\u00e9, c’est avec une certaine tristesse que j’annonce la fermeture du site web RB Originals en f\u00e9vrier 2026. Je ne vais pas pour autant raccrocher mes pinceaux \u00e0 colle et ranger d\u00e9finitivement mes cutters rotatifs, mais ce sera la fin de RB Originals en tant qu’entreprise de production. Cette d\u00e9cision a \u00e9t\u00e9 difficile \u00e0 prendre et plusieurs facteurs l’ont influenc\u00e9e, notamment les r\u00e9glementations et les r\u00e8gles de plus en plus strictes concernant l’obtention des mat\u00e9riaux et la gestion du site de vente en ligne, ainsi que des probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 li\u00e9s \u00e0 mon \u00e2ge. Je tiens \u00e0 remercier chaleureusement tous ceux qui m’ont soutenu au fil des ans et j’esp\u00e8re que mes v\u00eatements continueront d’\u00eatre port\u00e9s dans les ann\u00e9es \u00e0 venir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
