Editorial Review for Coco de Mer – by Kim Cooper
In Short
Leave it to the Brits to reinvent the sex shop for the new millennium. Named for a giant seed that looks like female body parts, the red-walled retreat offers erotic tools, books, garb and inspiration for a spectrum of tastes. Japanese-inspired jade sex toys are abstract enough to be left on view as sculpture, but custom leather play furniture, human hair whips, silk rope bondage kits and embossed leather paddles telegraph their saucy, sophisticated intentions.

What a beautiful shop!! I found this little treasure trove as I was taking my dogs for their daily walk--I can't believe I've walked by this place so many times and never noticed it before!! I literally live around the corner. Amazing decor and extreme attention to detail, from the topiaries outside all the way down to the wallpaper. If you have yet to see this place, you must make a trip very soon. Integrated into the vibe of the store is class, luxury-of course, sensuality and a bit of humor for good measure. The lingerie and other items are mostly imported from the UK, so it's quite unlikely to find much of what's there carried anywhere else in the States. And if there's anything anyone can say about LA is people love exclusivity!! Take a trip to Coco de Mer and truly find yourself...

What a treat discovering this chic and cheeky shop! I was so impressed with the incredible collection of classy, fun and simply beautiful bedroom toys, it was hard to choose, plus I discovered pieces I never knew I wanted.. er .. needed? like, a pearl massage ring, metallic leather wrist cuffs, and silk rope for, um.. All kinds of fun. I won't even get started on the oodles of exclusive lingerie from the UK, you have to see for yourself. And bring your partner - they can peak at your fit from the confessional booth!
