Reinterpreting the world of sex toys may seem bold while the market is overflowing with items of all kinds.
To produce a series of high quality products (both aesthetic and functional), a concept was needed to create objects that tells a story in addition to their erotic side.
The line of products "luxury-pleasures" is inspired by the theme of Genesis. It contains seven objects, one for each day of the week.

Candle made with white beeswax and silver base.

The second day God created the sky.
The choice of colours is very particular: The blue sky representing Virgin Mary. She is often depicted with a blue coat called maphorion. Green is also used to represent the Virgin with the Child Jesus. The red roses are a symbol of virginity. Blind fold inspired by the stole of the priest.
