BATH, England – Inspired by some of history’s grand-dames of seduction — including Nell Gwynne, Georgiana the Duchess of Devonshire and Catherine Howard — Coco de Mer’s latest collection of luxury erotic toys and essentials is striking. The items were designed in collaboration with Lovehoney, which will distribute the line.

“We are thrilled to be able to partner with Lovehoney on this exciting range and bring the exquisite Coco de Mer Pleasure Collection to other stores [in addition to the company’s boutique in London’s tony Covent Garden district, Managing Director Lucy Litwack said. “This is one of the most luxurious and decadent collections of pleasure products we have ever created. We are entering a new era of opulence with lovers of sensual joy sparing no expense in finding pleasure products of the highest luxury.”

The Coco de Mer Pleasure Collection includes seven toys and six essentials.

Coco de Mer Nell

The Georgiana G-Spot Vibrator is named for Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, notorious for her whirlwind love affairs. Georgiana’s delicately curved form directs sensations to a woman’s most intimate pleasure spot.

The Catherine Pleasure Balls Set are in memory of Catherine Howard, the fifth wife of Henry VIII who was beheaded for her adultery with the king’s favourite courtier, Thomas Culpeper. The product is available in three shapes with graduated weights to tone and strengthen the pelvic floor.

The Nell Pleasure Seed Vibrator recalls the life of Charles II’s long-time mistress, Nell Gwyn, who was regarded as a living embodiment of the spirit of Restoration England. She grew up in Covent Garden, a stone’s throw from Coco de Mer’s erotic boutique. Inspired by the erotic shape of the coco de mer seed, Nell’s beautiful form is uniquely designed for clitoral enjoyment.

The Nell Pleasure Seed is available in pure, sleek silicone and also in a gold limited edition. The gold version is an erotic objet de vertu for those who will not put a price on pleasure. Nell in Gold, which sells for $12,000, is encased in 18-carat gold plate and presented in an artisanal wooden box with gold detailing.

Coco de Mer Emmeline

The Emmeline Pleasure Wand gets its name from the fearless leader of the British suffragette movement, Emmeline Pankhurst. Its slender, sleek silicone body and spherical tip send rumbling and insistent stimulation through the slim shaft to a woman’s G-spot.

The George Vibrating Cock Ring was inspired by George Eliot, the male pseudonym for Mary Ann Evans, one of the Victorian era’s leading authors. The love ring accentuates lovemaking by stimulating both partners at once.

The Emma Pleasure Egg remembers Emma, Lady Hamilton, most commonly known as the mistress of Lord Nelson. Irresistibly curved to glide smoothly against the curves of your body, this sleek love egg delivers powerful vibrations via a wireless remote control.

The Pleasure Collection also includes a range of massage oils, massage candles and an orgasm balm.

“Everything about the range oozes decadence,” Litwack said. “Based around the idea of exploration and discovery, encountering the unexpected, and using Coco de Mer’s famous heritage prints, the packaging features a seductive peephole, subtly teasing people with the erotic prints that lie behind.”

The new range has been beautifully shot by world-renowned photographer Rankin. The shoot, entitled Exquisite Curiosities, captures the rare sensuality of the Pleasure Collection in a magnificent series of photographs, displaying the esoterically erotic creations in a series of elaborate glass domes and gilded cages.

“The Coco de Mer Pleasure Collection combines sensuality, fashion and erotica to form a decadently heady mix,” Lovehoney International Sales Manager Kate Hodgson-Egan said. “We have focused a lot of our attention on luxury items this year and can’t wait to share all of our exciting new products with trade customers at eroFame.”
