A Playboy.com article about the world’s top adult stores says The Stockroom/Syren retail store in Los Angeles is the “Best Place to Go Wild” if you’re looking for a steamy retail shopping experience.
Hung with hand-wrought chandeliers of black chain that drop nearly a full floor down from the cathedral ceiling of the bi-level space, the elegant adult boutique is the retail outlet and showroom of The Stockroom, Inc., leading designer and supplier of fetish clothing and bondage toys. The company’s headquarters, design studios, manufacturing workshops, and warehouse are on the floors above and behind the storefront of the company’s historic 1920s building on Los Angeles’ famed Sunset Boulevard.
Writer Steve Dollar reports in “Global Domination: The Hottest Sex Shops Around the World” that the Stockroom store – located at 2809 ½ W. Sunset Boulevard in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles – “is the best stop for anyone getting in touch with the beast within.
“Here, you can pick up a handcrafted leather pig mask or a bunny bondage hood. Or, if you’re feeling more restrained, yet still want to flaunt some flesh, check out the outfit’s signature “Bolero Straitjacket” (patent pending)—a variation on the institutional restraint that leaves the torso (i.e., boobs) exposed.
“The store has a sinister-yet-inviting vibe, with a black-and-red gothic décor, a photo gallery, and enough leather and latex and esoteric insertables on display to inspire any budding DeSade. Or Hollywood producer,” Dollar writes.
He quotes company founder Joel Tucker as saying: “We have a lot of kinky creativity on staff.”
The Stockroom/Syren retail store is located at 2809 ½ W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026. The store is open 7 days from noon – 10 pm Sun – Thurs and noon – 11 pm Fri – Sat.
