About RoB Amsterdam

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Amsterdam, RoB, a gay fetish store on Warmoesstraat, stands out as an emblem of the leather scene. Since its inception in 1975 by Robert Meijer, RoB has evolved into a globally recognized brand for gay leather fetish wear. The store, known for its off-the-peg and custom-made pieces, has adapted over time to encompass a broader range of materials, including rubber, neoprene, and textiles. This shift reflects the changing tastes within the gay fetish community, making RoB a versatile and inclusive destination. Despite its expansion and modernization, RoB has retained its gravitas and remains a pivotal stop for leather enthusiasts visiting Amsterdam. The store caters to a diverse clientele, from hardcore bondage and SM aficionados to those looking for more casual fetish wear. The comprehensive selection includes leather, rubber, toys, and various fetish apparels, offering something for every taste. RoB's location in Warmoesstraat, often referred to as the 'leather street,' places it in the midst of Amsterdam's bustling LGBTQ+ scene. After indulging in a shopping spree at RoB, visitors find themselves in close proximity to other popular gay venues like Dirty Dicks and Eagle Amsterdam, perfect for continuing the adventure.

We were initially excited to visit RoB Amsterdam… but it was super disappointing when we arrived. We were planning to spend hundreds in the store on new gear… but the employees were ultimately unhelpful and very rude. We asked if they had a “RoB Amsterdam” t-shirt in my size. In response, the staff suggested that RoB Amsterdam is not for “large” or overweight men. The store has a leather shop in the back… but apparently they won’t even do custom work for larger guys. Also… they want almost nine euros for small size Crisco? 😂 I’d leave zero stars if that were an option. The folks who own this shop need to visit Berlin or San Francisco and take notes on how great leather/fetish stores treat customers and offer great products.

Good choice of items for sale, all nice quality. Some staff there were really helpful, but another one wasn't particularly welcoming. Great choice of leather wear and matching belts & braces, treated myself to a set and will come back for another one!

Very polite and helpful staff. Excellent product quality. In addition, on site you can admire how the products are created.

You don't have to be into the leather scene to go in and grab something. This place has a huge, fantastic range of leather and Fetish items, but they also have Tshirts, singlets, accessories, and toys. The staff are friendly and helpful too.
