LEATHER. COMMUNITY.
30+ YEARS STRONG.
A women-centered leather/BDSM community built on service, education, connection and unapologetic joy.
F.I.S.T. is a women-centered leather/BDSM backpatch club originally based in Baltimore, with members nationwide. For more than 30 years, we have brought people together through service, education and social connection. We are a service, educational and social organization grounded in mutual respect, shared responsibility and having a genuinely good time. We learn from one another, serve our communities, engage in leather history and create opportunities to connect both in person and online. Our language continues to evolve, but our purpose remains clear: center women, welcome people connected to the women’s leather community and show up for one another. #BackpatchLeather F.I.S.T. hosts in-person and hybrid events across the country, with members nationwide. Some events are reserved for members and associates; others are open to the wider community. Join our newsletter for upcoming events and the latest from F.I.S.T.!
