Family Background

Sam Roddick, daughter of Body Shop legend Anita Roddick, opened Coco de Mer in 2001 as a luxuriously dreamy erotic emporium dedicated to the celebration of sexual pleasure, empowerment, dignity and discovery.

Roddick is committed to enabling individuals to use sex as an instrument to transform their own existence and invites them to bring more excitement, imagination, debate, life and texture to their world. Coco de Mer has fast come to represent the height of inspired ethical and sensual chic for the globally conscious and the sex loving. Coco de Mer’s products from the silk knickers, sequinned nipple tassles, books, oils, household goods and sex toys look like objets d’art and are made in consideration of the environment and human rights. Coco de Mer’s policy is to invest in the work of local talent and also with small Fair Trade projects or cottage industries to develop generously eclectic, edgy and spectacular ranges.

The store sells an extensive range of own brand, high end products, inspired by historical characters, far off lands, and primal aesthetics, ranging from delicate silk lingerie, finely crafted glass dildos, rich leather spanking implements, exotic jewellery and opulent accessories to facilitate a sensuous home environment. Coco de Mer has a broad international following attracting celebrities, businesspeople bohemians and sybarites as well as chattering classes who spend on average £80 per visit.

Coco de Mer’s groundbreaking salons revive the inspiration of the drawing room through events which break down barriers, stimulate discussion and provoke thought, via enjoyment, education and accomplished hosting skills they continuously strive to redefine the sexual and the erotic. The brand encompasses stores in the London and LA, an active website, home product parties, educational activities as well as the infamous Christmas Grotto. As part of the brand’s corporate transformative objective it supports grass roots charity and political activism in line with its established commitment to the improvement of injustice and quality of life for the disadvantaged. Coco de Mer is committed to helping the Helen Bamber Foundation focusing on the Women’s Project, which rehabilitates the survivors of gross human violations.
