Escentric
Something in that scent drives me crazy. Sure say its the pheromones. I've smelled pheromone stuff before but this is different.
Whatever it is I love it. Please do not leave the store without giving it a whiff.
That stuff is dangerous.
That stuff is fire.
People should be required to have permit to handle it.
The store itself is nice. It feels like your browsing through an intimate closet full of your favorite goodies.
They even figured out an elegant approach to the dreaded sale rack. Check out the trunks on the floor for some nice steals. Of course in order to indulge you have to be working girl or involved with a generous working person - but the prices are not that unreasonable at all.
Don't forget to ask for information on upcoming "salons". There just might be a topic you are interested in. I unfortunately just missed the one on burlesque.
After a big meal, my boyfriend and i saw this cute little pathway with ivy and plants, and some benches so we decided to just sit and relax for a little while. Little did we realize we were hanging out in the entrance of a high end sex shop. Sweet.
Naturally, we took a peek and browsed around. I definitely was immediately in the book section while my boyfriend was immediately looking at the red lingerie.
We didn't buy anything, but definitely got a few minutes of entertainment and education looking at the antique dildos and reading all of the books.
So interesting, haha. Awesome place.
This is really a different kind of adult store. It's more boutique-y than any of the other stores in LA. It's female oriented and does not carry any products for hard-core BDSM players.
The store itself is absolutely beautiful; it has none of the rainbow-bright cheap sexuality of other mainstream stores or the black leather severity of BDSM stores. It's more sensual and erotic lovemaking than sexy and dirty fucking.
Great lingerie selection, few sex toys (but high quality), beautiful selection of harnesses and light bondage gear, impressive selection of sex books (how-tos, photography, erotica), and sexually-themed objects (candles, pillows, etc).
The harnesses are so beautiful, you'll want one even if you're not in to bondage. The leather furniture meant to position the body for sex is also amazing.
Kiki de Montparnasse ruined me and it will ruin you too if you go there first.
After Kiki's, everything else is unrefined and in your face.
Speaking of in your face, the best piece at Coco's was fantastic life sized bronze of a naked lady bending over, confidently displaying her Coco de Mer ,if you know what I mean.
This place has all the usual suspects; red lingere, leather straps, neon vibrators, etc.
There are also a few unexpected items from the housewares department. Imagine Grandma coming to visit and serving her tea in the 'tits and ass' teacup? You could set out crumpets and scones on the 'cunt licker' and 'cock lover' plates. If she likes a little salt on her cream she could use the 10 inch penis saltshaker. If conversation lulls, I would recommend a couple of crowd pleasing coffee table books such as 'The BIG book of Boobs' and the 'BIG Book of Penis's.' Those are sure to strick up a reaction.
Coco de Mer is housed in one small room and so their selection is very small. All the basics are here, but if you want an elevated experience and sublime selection go to Kiki's.
This boutique was such a treat to visit. The shop is tucked in a alleyway, so it's very discrete (not that I was at all embarrassed coming out and carrying my Coco De Mer shopping bag).
Perks: Love the peeking room next to the dressing room (interesting erotic films play in there). Love the nice gloves to try on in the dressing room - gosh, I want those black cotton gloves. They occasionally have seminars at reasonable prices. They have one coming up featuring Midori (wish I can go but can't make it that day.)
Decor: Clean, chic, sensuous, luxe and classy. Very reflective of their website.
Lingerie selection:
Quality over quantity is the name of the game here. One size is on the hanger but the shop girls will grab the size that you'll need.
Toys:
Quality toys, not cheap crap.
Misc:
Very interesting selection of erotic educational and photography books. Quirky cards, oils, blindfolds, paddles and porcelain sets for tea. Love the phallic shaped salt and pepper shakers.
Parking: Metered but still absolutely worth the visit.
When my friend and I visited this boutique, we were on the hunt for lingerie. Their small yet careful collection of brands is simply exquisite. We wanted to try on everything (minus the clear shower-curtain-esque see-through apron/panty thingie . . . They don't have a specific sale section on their lingerie but we came across a few pieces that were red lined. SCORE!! Plus - those sale items fit perfectly. My friend and I ended up getting matching sets.
Imagine a real chastity belt equipped with metal lock? Or silk ties embroidered with sayings like "real freedom is choosing who's slave you are." Or books to give tips on all things sexual, and clothing that is both whimsical and erotic. This shop smelled of luxury, and the prices matched. Everything was original, and I loved perusing (and would probably go back if I ever died my hair blond and dated someone with Hefner's money). However, the prices are just a bit too much for a few strings that one can barely call a thong.
Oh and did I mention that when I visited Dr. Tea's with my roommate, we went to Coco's on a side trip to check it out, and I ran into a male co-worker? I was so embarrassed. But at least it wasn't the pleasure chest. Anyway, this is why I will stick with my pure romance saleswoman.
But, if you have a lot of money to blow on lingerie, this would definitely be your place.
Erotic Luxury!!!
What a fucking amazing place!
This was my first time visiting Coco de Mer.
I learned about this magnificent little lingerie store/ art gallery through an invite to a book release and photography exhibition by erotica artist Alexandra Gibson (visit http://www.iwillshooty...).
This event was a part of West Hollywood's Art and Design Walk.
Coco de Mer is quite a treat. Not only is it a lovely shop with an amazing outdoor space and great dressing rooms.
But its products- everything from awesome sex books, to beautiful lingerie, antique-styled dildos and bondage gear, are top of the line and quite unique pieces that are sure to satisfy the senses!
Like their cards say: Coco de Mer is for lovers, adventurers and dreamers... go check it out!
This is definitely a high end sex shop... The selection isn't huge but it's more about the quality than the quantity here...
There is quite a large book selection...
It's not all about sex... Go in here and the world of sex feels like an art form and fashion... The dressing rooms are cute and fun...
This place is to run of the mill sex shops as {insert really good steak place here} is to the Sizzler buffet. I stumbled across it after imbibing some overpriced but undeniably tasty coffee-derived beverage at the nearby Urth cafe. Needing to walk off the buzz, my friend and I ambled along Melrose peeking in storefronts and generally making nuisances of ourselves. Then, all of a sudden, there it was, beckoning us in with its dark wood interior and alabaster sculptures of women bending over touching their toes. Naked women. Anatomically correct ones. Coco de Mer. I said "humminah humminah" and we went in.
This place is a cross between a boutique and an art installation. The presentation of their extensive selection of vibrators is so compelling that I found myself wanting to purchase one as a Object de Arte. They've got graphic novels, erotic literatures, restraints, blindfolds, whips, lingerie and little closets where you can. . .go into little closets. If you've moved beyond The Hustler Store or Petey's XXX Shop (which may not, in fact, exist), Coco de Mer is a refreshing change. Plus they have pictures of boobies. Everywhere.
Beautiful, fun, sexy shop with a great back patio!
I love this store!
A classy sex shop. Small selection of lingerie (try Agent Provocateur). A small selection of toys. A good selection of books about sex....
Fabulous, kinky dressing room that doubles as a peep show stage for your significant other....I hope they stay in business....
I can't say enough about this place. Now I have a drawer chock full of this stuff! It's amazing pieces you won't find anywhere else. Just don't ask for directions to Kiki de Monteparessne, which is their more expensive competitor. This is an excellent place and down the street from their competitor as well as Agent Provocateur. So if you are on a lingerie shopping spree, make this your first stop on Melrose.
