WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Mister B, the Netherlands-based retailer specializing in homoerotic fetish items, is coming to West Hollywood.
Mister B operators plan on opening its latest "shop-in-shop" store at the 665 Leather store, carrying its rubber clothing and the company’s extensive range of toys.
It will be the first time Mister B has had a brick-and-mortar retail presence in the U.S. The company, which also supplies wholesalers and retailers worldwide, also operates a retail website.
Mister B spokesman Nelson Sousa da Cunha told XBIZ that the company has high hopes with the installation at 665 Leather
"This way American customers — especially in the Los Angeles area — will have access to a part of our collection," Sousa da Cunha said. "This is also to get a bit more feeling with the US. Our goal is to venture out more into the U.S. eventually."
Mister B, in business for 20 years, operates its full-line stores in Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin, where customers can find the entire Mister fetish gear and toys collection.
The West Hollywood store, celebrating a grand opening Jan. 10, will offer a select collection of Mister B products, like other shop-in-shop outlets.
