Working at Scandals means we’ve seen it all.
Or at least, we thought we had.

It was a quiet afternoon—the kind where time slows down and the shop hums with calm. Then the door opened.

In walked a customer—poised, purposeful, and radiating that unmistakable energy of someone with a plan. Not rushed. Not browsing aimlessly. They asked a few sharp questions, nodded, and made a beeline for the changing rooms like they were heading into battle. Or an audition. Or maybe… both?

We thought nothing of it. Until the curtain closed.

And then—the noise.

First, a little shuffle. Normal. Then came the rustling. Crinkling. A steady build, like someone was assembling a tent.

It wasn’t the usual sounds of zips or heels or hanger clacks. No. This was… stranger. Like someone had brought their own equipment.

We exchanged a look.

Then, with complete confidence, they emerged from behind the curtain—half-dressed in latex.
And underneath?

Two Tesco carrier bags.
One per leg.
Tied at the thighs like makeshift briefs.
Inside? A generous layer of baby oil.

“Helps it slide on easier,” they said cheerfully.
“Bit of baby oil in the bags—goes on smooth.”
“No sweat. Tesco’s finest.”

We were speechless for a second—mostly impressed. It was creative, resourceful. Honestly, kind of brilliant. The unwavering loyalty to reusable bags was to be admired. We couldn’t help but smile.

But it was… not quite store policy.

We gently stepped in, explaining that unfortunately, we don’t allow latex to be tried on in-store. Not because we’re boring or buzzkills—but because latex is… special.

As stunning as latex looks, it’s just not trial-friendly. It’s the diva of the fabric world—loves attention, hates being touched. Baby oil, skin contact, and even a well-intentioned crinkle can stretch, mark, or damage it—and once it’s been worn (bags or no bags), we can’t offer it to anyone else.

They were gracious. A little flushed, maybe, but mostly just amused—and relieved we handled it with kindness. Which we always do.

Because here’s the truth:
At Scandals, creativity is welcome. Curiosity is celebrated. And no one is ever judged.

They came in already wearing the bags—clearly, this wasn’t their first rodeo. And honestly? We respect the prep!

So, what’s the takeaway?

If you’re planning a visit with a suitcase of tricks or your own bag-based dressing method—chat with us first.

We’ll help you figure out sizing, fit, and how to love your latex safely and stylishly (no Tesco bags required).

(But props for originality.)
