Who We Are
Arizona Women of Leather (AWOL) is Phoenix’s oldest women’s leather organization, bringing together those who identify with femininity and share a passion for the leather and kink lifestyle. We’re a sisterhood—a space to grow, learn, explore, and connect.
Born from a rich legacy that began in the early 2000s, AWOL is now carried forward by a new generation alongside original founding members. Together, we’re building on decades of tradition while creating something fresh and inclusive for today’s leather community.
We partner other leather groups to create a vibrant, integrated leather community across the state.
