Coco De Mer Brings A Touch Of Class (And A Whole Lot Of Naughty) To NYC

We've been lusting after the wares of Coco de Mer ever since they launched their first store across the pond in London. Now they've finally brought their trademark cheekiness to the Big Apple—and naturally, we took a tour.

At first glance, Coco de Mer looks like any other upscale boutique—but upon further inspection, all sorts of naughtiness is revealed. The patterns decorating the wallpaper and upholstery obscure scenes of lovemaking, the butterfly necklace has phallus-shaped openings—and, of course, there's all the dildos, lingerie, and fetish gear lining the shelves (and we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the china plate that reads "Cock.").

Best of all, though, are the dressing rooms: a small panel on the walls can be opened to transform the rooms into two halves of a confessional box. With your lover one side, and you on the other, you can confess all your naughty secrets (we're betting you'll get a more interesting punishment than just a few "Hail Marys."). And, of course, no Coco de Mer dressing room would be complete without a Private Poses camera...

And though many of Coco de Mer's wares fall on the pricier end of the spectrum, they do offer quite a few affordable products (including some of our favorite sex toys from places like Lelo and Fun Factory). True, in this economy, splurges may be few and far between—but if you're going to open your wallet, shouldn't it be in the service of better sex?

Coco de Mer NYC is located at 263 Elizabeth Street, between Prince and Houston.
