Hall of Harper is here, and she’s anything but seedy.
Hall of Harper is here, and she’s anything but seedy.
Do you like to shop high end goods? Do you enjoy visiting designer stores that are dressed to the (sixty)nines with luxury ‘touches’ at every turn? And finally, do you go ‘nuts’ when a new sex shop comes to town?
You may have a boner to pick with us for being so forward, but don’t be like that or you’ll miss our blow-by-blow account of the GC’s new highbrow sexual wellness boutique. Described as the Gucci of sex stores, the luxuriously appointed Hall of Harper was recently erected in Surfers Paradise and guys, it’s the full package.
Stripped of all the tacky, dingy vibes often associated with this sort of establishment, Hall of Harper is brimming with lashings of luxe, polish and style. Anything but your stereotypical fluro-lit dodgy sex shop where you spend a good hour working up the guts to actually go inside, this is a modern lover’s sanctuary. Delivering a new sexual wellness experience, it’s an up-scale boutique boasting a selection of the world’s most luxurious sexual brands.
With more beautifully designed accents and finishes that you can poke a, umm, stick at, this unique concept offers an experience to arouse all the senses. In addition to the carefully curated product suite, the space’s speakeasy entrance and champagne bar are all that and a bag of condoms. Every inch has been thoughtfully laid out and filled with the best of the breast, ah we mean, best, quality interiors. A stand-out is definitely the specialty store’s erotic art, well-hung and bound to stimulate a deep appreciation for its museum-worthy feels.
So just who can we thank for changing the outdated and seedy stereotype of sex shops? Locally based banana-bender siblings Mollie and Charlotte O’Sullivan identified a gap in the market for a sophisticated, inclusive, and calming sexual wellness provider.
Far from a stroke of good luck, they thought long and hard about how to do it right, and they certainly hit the nail on the head. Believing that the power of your sexual self is the key to harmony between mind, soul and body, all we can say is #AmenSisters.
Displaying sex toys like jewellery and art, Hall of Harper offers an intimate escape where customers of any orientation can discover new pleasures. So much more than gimmicky gadgets to improve your no-pants dance, there’s a refreshing emphasis on sustainably designed and produced products, developed through a female lens.
You’ll find everything from artistry leather work, latex looks, to all-natural lubes and arousal serums, all of which meet the sisters’ stringent quality criteria. Silicone toys are crafted from medical grade silicone and free of phthalates and BPA. Liquids are chosen for their high-quality natural ingredient checklist, PH balance and cruelty-free formulas, while all leather products are made by hand in Italy from full-grain leather.
So friends, we are pleased to confirm that this titillating sexual wellness boutique is certainly not hard-on the eyes. Rising to the occasion with a superior quality curation of tasteful, high-end products to spice up adult naptime and empower your sexual self, Hall of Harper will tickle your pickle and impress the pants off you. And we don’t mean that figuratively….
