Who is Pole Daddy...?

Hi, I’m Matt — also known as Pole Daddy.

The name? A cheeky title bestowed upon me by my students when I competed as Pole Daddy in Mr Pole Dance — and it stuck like dry hands to a brass pole. I’ve been a pole dancer, instructor, and proud stage menace for years, but when major surgery forced me off the pole and onto the sewing machine, I needed a new outlet to stay creative, connected, and just the right amount of unhinged.

What started with stitching a single harness for a night out spiraled into a full-blown obsession with custom fit, fierce detailing, and wearable filth. Now, every piece is handmade by me in Melbourne — one strap, stud, or scandal at a time.

Straps, sass, and stitching with purpose.

Pole Daddy was born somewhere between a pole studio, a sewing machine, and a post-op recovery haze — and we’ve been serving strap realness ever since. Based in Melbourne, Australia, we’re 100% queer-owned, deeply DIY-driven, and proudly crafted with filth and flair.

What started with one harness for a circuit party became a full creative obsession — designing bold, body-hugging gear that turns heads without asking permission. Whether you’re slaying on stage, stomping through a rave, or just feeling your fantasy in the mirror, Pole Daddy makes pieces that demand attention and deserve worship.

But we’re not just about harnesses. We’re about expression.
Think heat-transfer vinyl cuts, rhinestone detailing, wood-burning, custom branding, and more. If it sticks, sparkles, slices, or shimmers
— we probably do it.

What We Make:

  • Custom harnesses (because your body deserves better than mass-made)
  • Accessories that tie it all together
  • Creative services like heat transfer and vinyl projects, sewing, etching & embellishment.
  • One-off commissions, clubwear upgrades, and whatever your fantasy calls for.

Why We Do It:

  • Because being extra isn’t optional — it’s essential.
  • Because stories deserve to be sewn, not silenced.
  • And because nothing feels better than wearing something made just for you.
