I came across this lingerie brand recently at a small showcase in a bar. It's definitely one to…read morewatch for the future. The first collection was the Lee-Lee collection inspired by burlesque dancers. It is baeutiful girly frilly knickers, slips, bras and even a tutu! Each piece is handmade from either cotton or silk, and the detailing and care that has gone into it is obvious. I particularly like their website shop that opens with an animation of red velvet drapes to scenes of an art-deco / bordello inspired house! Pieces seemed to range from £30 for pants up to £125 for a basque or silk slip - not too bad when you compare it to some of the other brands locally at Spitalfields etc. I'm told by the designer that the next collection is out soon, so check it out!

Even though it was freezing cold outside, I was too excited about exploring what bizarre new treats…read morewere on offer at Sh this visit to accept the offer of a cup of tea or coffee from the sales assistant who lept up to greet me on arrival. Some people might need a warm beverage to relax them when confronted with the plethora of pleasure giving devices presented in this sexy grotto, I am not one of them, although I have to say, what a lovely touch. What I love about Sh is that they cater for girls and understand that most of us don't want to be confronted by a huge, black wobbly dildo when entering a store. Not to say that you cant buy one, or one covered in spikes or made out of glass or attached to a harness here (you get the picture) but they are tastefully presented and surrounded by feathers, bell adorned nipple tassles and rhinestone handcuffs amongst other wonderful inventions. The staff are pleasant, very knowledgeable and discreet, my first visit to the store was to buy a vibrator and the sales assistant recommended several, based on personal experience and sent me away very happy indeed with a waterproof 'Jessica' (£22). The variety of toys for men and women here rivals any similar store that I have visited and they also have a good selection of lubricants, literature and underwear.

It was the most comfortable experience coming into the store and purchasing my first toy! I felt I…read morespent a long time comparing the different items but I'm glad the ladies helped me out by answering the random questions I had, telling me their honest options about the models and giving me time to look without pressure. I truly appreciate their expertise and I highly recommend to come here if it's your first time or if your shopping in general! Also the cup of tea is quite generous! Thank you again ladies!

This is such an old-time glamorous place to shop for lingerie. There's real sense of nostalgia for…read morethe lost reverence women had when it came to shopping for their underthings. Everything here is such a fanatic combination of rich satins and delicate laces... styles that are both subtly alluring and fiercely sexy. The window displays are ever-changing and never fail to woo me inside... with very few exceptions (most waspies just aren't that flattering...) I could easily cart off all of the darling nighties and luxurious knickers they have hanging on their racks. They support and carry a lot of more boutiquey labels and independent designer brands - which means you'll find stuff here that you won't anywhere else. They even have a line for expectant mothers (literally, yummy mummies, oy). This is also your place if you happen to be in the market for a corset or any other burlesque type fashions - they can even hook you up with the same satiny corset designed for Ms. Dita Von Teese.

The online retailer is new in town but has been launched in an attempt to revolutionise the industry. The sex toys on sale here look beautiful enough to display as ornaments! They stock the major brands including LELO, Jimmyjane, Icicles and Vibe Therapy, all at great prices. The checkout process was unbelievably smooth, no sooner than I had seen what I wanted, it was in my basket and purchased. Delivery is free over £50, which wasn't hard to achieve! I think Madame Liberty will be one to watch as she could rival other well known stores.

How I've dreaded writing a review for this place but alas it keeps popping up on my 'place to…read morereview' list. So here goes. You know my secret. I love Coco de Mer. I find it nearly impossible not to have a quick browse when in the area as I never know what incredibly beautiful things will be on display here. Everything is phthalate free, staff are knowledgable and patient, full of genuine advice and completely understanding. Other reviewers have pointed out a price increase for brands like LELO and JimmyJane (both US brands) and this is less a reflection of CdM's pricing as it is one of imported and especially luxury goods as a whole. Unfortunately just one of the facts of living in the UK. A little known fact is that Coco de Mer, although originally independently owned, was actually bought by Lovehoney. As a result there are certain items sold here that are available for slightly less on Lovehoney's website. Unfortunately ordering these items online will rob you of the satisfaction (and fun) to be had browsing the items in store. I'm not saying take your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend I'm just saying that a visit to CdM is basically a milestone every relationship should aspire to cross. CdM puts seedy places in Soho to shame. It's 2015 people, it's time we step up and recognise that adults will be adults. CdM is exactly the kind of shop many of us have searched for so put away your shame and have a peek!

They are relatively cheap - especially the sale items. These are not designer pieces but they are based on the 40's & 50's design!

I am vaguely aware that with Christmas coming up, I should start looking for something cheap and cheerful for my girlfriend, and something like.. underwear, garments like that, aren't something I've ever really shopped for before. I feel too intimidated by shops like La Senza and Anne Summers, too expensive and up market for me perhaps. So this place, with its 70% off sale, seems to be right up my alley. What I will say about this shop is it's tiny. The woman behind the till, a harassed looking lady who seemed happy to be quite harassing to me about what she must have saw as my 'impertinent' questions, didn't give me the time of day.. perhaps seeing that I wasn't a nailed on customer, she was happy to be haughty. The selection of knickers was excellent though and the stock is cheap enough so that I know I will be back later once I've stealthily obtained some measurements..
