Lucrezia & De Sade

What Lucrezia & De Sade is and what the saving looks like

Lucrezia & De Sade is a Melbourne fetish and bondage retailer and maker with an online shop. Its About page describes the business as a boutique at 441 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, open 11.00am to 7.00pm seven days a week, and says the team has worked for 30 years to cater for a wide range of fetishes with Australian-made products. Much of the stock is designed and made on the premises, mainly leather, latex, mesh and neoprene wear, harnesses and accessories, and the shop adds toys, restraints, lubricants and care products from other makers in Australia and overseas.

There is no membership, trial or rebill. The savings come from a Hot Specials section where each reduced product shows an original price and a current price, and from a freight threshold announced across the header. Returns are narrow: the shop states that refunds are not store policy, so the reductions work as final sales with an exchange route for some goods.

The Hot Specials section

The page that carries the offer is Hot Specials. Each reduced item shows the wording "Original price was" followed by the earlier price and "Current price is" followed by the new one, so the regular price is stated by the shop and not inferred. In October 2026 the section lists a VOLT electro-stimulation vibrator from Calexotics with an original price of $210.00 and a current price of $130.00, and a Lucrezia & De Sade lamb leather jacket with an original price of $490.00 and a current price of $290.00. Womanizer, chastity and latex items sit in the same section.

Reductions are not uniform. The section mixes the shop's own leather goods, imported latex wear from the Fetisso label, pumps, gags, harnesses and devices from other brands, and the gap between original and current price varies with the product. Some latex pieces move by a modest step, while a few toys and the jacket drop much further. Each item carries its own pair of prices, and there is no standard percentage across the section. The section gives no end date. Higher-priced pieces sit in it too: a Lucrezia & De Sade puppy head harness is listed at an original price and a lower current price, and an ANOESES skirt and an Oxballs gag are reduced the same way.

Outside Hot Specials, ordinary catalog pages show one price per item and no original price beside it, so the shop's own leather range carries no discount there.

After you buy: no renewal, but a strict returns rule

Every order is a one-off purchase with no subscription, no recurring charge and no pre-selected add-on, and the shop runs no loyalty program or newsletter discount on its pages. Nothing converts into anything else, so there is no renewal date to track.

The term that matters after checkout is the Returns Policy, which weighs heavily on any sale purchase. It asks buyers to choose carefully because it is not store policy to offer refunds, and it says the shop is not required to provide a refund or replacement if a customer changes their mind. It adds that by law items of intimate apparel cannot be exchanged. Exchanges for other goods will only be accepted with the original docket and only within 28 days of purchase, and management reserves the right to refuse an exchange when an item is not in its original condition. The shop says it will gladly repair items bearing the Lucrezia & De Sade or Sax Fetish brand where possible. The policy does not describe faulty goods, so it does not say what happens when an item arrives damaged. The page offers exchange and repair paths for a change of mind, not money back.

Shipping terms and what they cost

As of October 2026 the header advertises free Australian shipping over $150 and says click and collect is now available. The Shipping Information page fills in the rest. Freight on most items is charged at a flat rate of $12 within Australia and $40 overseas, and orders over $150 and some promotional specials are described as periodically offered freight free. The word "periodically" matters: the page does not promise that every order over the threshold ships free at all times, or name the promotional specials that qualify.

Smaller items go within Australia by Sendle or AusPost, and the page says orders within Australia go out in an Australia Post Express Mail Satchel wherever practical, with large parcels sent by couriers to capital cities and major regional centers. Larger orders are delivered by the shop's couriers, except where only a post office box is given, in which case the parcel goes by ordinary mail unless express is requested. Overseas orders are sent by air mail, and the shop states that customs duties and prohibited import laws are the buyer's responsibility. Parcels are described as plain wrapped, with no trade marks, company logos or identifying labels. Any specific freight request can be raised when placing the order, and the shop says it will advise of any additional cost.

Billing and payment

The shop's pages do not name a payment processor, accepted cards or wallets, a buy now pay later option or a statement descriptor. Prices carry a dollar sign, and the Shipping Information page uses it for both domestic and overseas rates, without naming a currency or stating whether prices include tax. The header announces click and collect as an alternative to delivery. The footer of every page lists a Fitzroy phone number, +61 3 9416 3826, and a shop email address.

Getting out

Cancellation of an order before dispatch is not covered by the policies on these pages. The Returns Policy handles only exchange after purchase, and the Shipping Information page handles delivery. With no subscription to cancel, the practical exit is contacting the store, and the pages give no cancellation window, no cut-off time and no fee. The shop invites customers to phone or visit during opening hours.

What the money buys, and who the offer suits

The catalog is organized into BDSM gear, leather by the shop, latex, mesh and neoprene clothing, toys, and lubricants and essentials. Gear covers bondage and restraints, impact items such as crops, paddles and floggers, head gear, slings and furniture, electro play, wax play, chastity and clamps. The toys range includes vibrators, wands, electro devices, pumps, plugs, strap-ons and cock and ball items. The shop's About page also invites custom requests, saying that if a customer has something special in mind it can usually either make it or source it. Its blog carries a practical guide to electroplay and a sizing guide for cock rings. The shop's own leather goods are described as handcrafted in Melbourne, while the boots shown are made in Spain by another maker, as the product pages say.

The offer fits someone shopping for fetish gear or a toy in Australia who is comfortable with a no-refund policy, who can compare original and current prices item by item, and who plans an order large enough to cross the freight threshold. It is a poor fit for a first-time buyer who wants to return an item that disappoints, and for anyone who needs a payment-method list or a statement descriptor before checkout, since the shop's pages give neither. For fetish and BDSM buyers, the gear, leather and latex reductions sit in the same Hot Specials section as the toys, under the same returns terms.
