Shag

This is an update to my earlier review
I had a product stop working
After a bit of a runaround between Sam and the makers of the product, we brought it back to Sam and got an exchange
The new one was wrapped and bagged so prettily as if I was just buying it for the first time.
I was surprised and touched.
Really great customer service!

Classy little spot with some interesting/​unique lingerie.
The variety of «accessories» are limited but they do have quality items, including bdsm stuff. Prices were good.
The shop owners are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgable.

I took a couples massage class here the day after valentine’s day. It was an amazing experience that I highly recommend. The class was very informative and relaxing. My boyfriend and I arrived 30min late because of subway delays, but both the shop owner and class teacher were able to fit us in and even extended the class time! Definitely great people.
The décor of the shop is cute and it has a bunch of cute jewelry and candles in addition to sex toys. We purchased a candle that was made from soy and had a cute message written on it.
I don’t come out to Brooklyn very often, but this was worth the trip!

Went into this place and found it to be very warm and friendly Artistic space. It’s a place where you can purchase erotic toys, lubes, original art work and hand made lotions, soaps, jewelry, stuff you won’t find everywhere else.
The other great thing about Shag is it’s pet friendly. I went in with my dog and the owner quickly came over said hello to my pet and gave her a treat.
All in all a great place and they carried what i was looking for.

Shag is one of my favorite places. Sam is so great and helpful. They’ve got the best soaps out of any store I’ve seen. All of them are handmade, organic and wonderful for my sensitive skin. The prices are perfect too. They have such a great collection of all kinds of fun stuff. I know most who shop at Shag wouldn’t go there for soaps or skin care… but trust me, make sure you check out the skin care corner. Sam really knows her stuff when it comes to finding the best there is!

This place is sexy and cute and makes all those inappropriate things feel appropriate by being so damn cute. They also sell great greeting cards, who knew? So if you’d like to be witty, original and basically the center of all your friend’s envy shop at Shag for the best gifts.
On a more direct note about their core business I don’t think I’ve ever once had a conversation about a sex toy with a store employee, why? Um. Awkward. At Shag however after rounding the section about 5 times I decided to ask a few questions, and I’m happy I did. She let us know she personally tries each product so can really speak from first hand experience. Some are rechargeable, some have more than one function, some have USB thumbnail chargers, some are funny shapes and some are remote control! Wow. Mind officially blown.
They sell vegan condoms too, so if you’re concerned about animals while you’re in the process of love making Shag can help you out with that too. Get animalistic while being animal friendly. Damn girl you fancy.

I hope this review can serve as a warning for others. Shag is not worth the money and takes advantage of their customers. I have never been so angry at an establishment for blatantly ripping off customers. Save yourselves the disappointment and do not book an event at Shag.
I recently attended a bachelorette event at Shag — «Sex Trivia.» The back room where the event was held was not air conditioned. The «host» simply read questions off of her phone (not joking) and tallied up team point on a dry erase board. that’s it. We wrote our responses on a blank piece of paper. It seemed like this event was thrown together in 10 minutes and is definitely not worth paying for. Even though we were told by Shag that «sex trivia» would last 2 hours, we were rushed through the questions despite asking the host to slow down. We were in and out in less than an hour. How much did this cost? OVER $ 400.

This community-​minded erotic item store has things you won’t find anywhere else! Books, clothing, kinky gadgets, jewelry, doorknobs, crystals, pillows, cards, tons of cool erotic art, and so much more. On party nights, they have the cleverest and most creative acts you could think of. It’s all a result of the hard work the gorgeous owners, Sam and Ash, put into the store. They know their business. They know what we like. They know how to please.

This is an adult novelty store (mostly for women) sort of like a «Babeland» with a Williamsburg twist~! It’s not a big store but it has so many novelty items, jewelry, random paraphernalia like wooden penis decorations, glass slippers, vibrators, Poker cards of Naked men, candy thongs and bras, and other fun random things. They also sell beauty products like herbal soaps and aroma-​infused bath/​shower essentials. It’s a pretty fun store that sells things you wouldn’t see very often. I would love to come back to purchase some of their soaps that smelled very good. Some of the ones if I can recall that they have were: Mint Green Tea, Lavender Orange, Ocean Bar, and Mushroom Bar. They even had VEGAN-​FRIENDLY condoms… whatever that means lol

Horrible place. Tried to exchange or return a gift that was bought for me the day before on VDAY. It was still in her wrapping paper and bow, and she claimed that was one of the only items that was not available for any sorts of exchange or return. Other items were a possibility, or even if it was defective. I should of dropped the wrapped gift from the balcony and then see what she would of considered defective. Even the people in the store left because they saw how upset I was. I never even opened the gift and she was watching me get tears in my eyes with no remorse. I understand she has a crappy return policy. Even Babeland lets you return or exchange if its UNOPENED.
Never again will I shop here and I have told everyone else to shop at Babeland where its much more convenient and friendly.
$ 125 in the trash.

Have been meaning to write a review for a while. Although the store is cute to browse, I find the owner a tad surly.
I went in here last month and bought a change purse on sale on impulse and the next day decided I didn’t really love it or need it. In the spirit of making cutbacks where I can, I went in to return it. I was unapologetically told that Shag does not process returns; only exchanges. I find it obnoxious I wasn’t made aware of that when making the purchase. It’s also not written on the receipt. I get that it’s a small business, but money is money to any customer and I think it’s wrong to have a restrictive policy like that and not make it clear.

I love stumbling on cool stores and then absolutely loving it!
I was grabbing a quick cuppa across the street when this store caught my eye. What a cute little find. They have all things sexy here, so loads of fun!
You’ll find nipple tassels and corsets and teddies here and vintage-​like bras and panties. All kinds of oils, perfumes, and soaps here.
They also sell bathing suits (now 30% off).
Ahem, also pleasure toys too and lots and lots of boas and feathers.
This place is like Babeland but with a burlesque twist to it. Absolutely love it! Would love to come back for some store events!

Cute shop! Full of sexy things… like hand dyed lingerie and artist-​made cards, prints, hats, soaps… all with an erotic flair. I was tickled! Sex toys too.
Plus they are nice people. They answer my questions honestly and with no judgement.
Smart, creative little boutique.

This is a fantastic shop with just the right mix of gifts, sexy goodies, warmth, and fun. Their workshops and art installations are stellar, giving Shag a completely well-​rounded boutique flair. Highly recommended!

Boutique adult shop full of random sexy items from toys, lingerie, candles, jewelry, home décor. Like all other boutique shops in Williamsburg, the selection is limited, but I’m sure you’ll find some little adorable thing here you might like.

This store confused me a little. It’s definitely like no other adult shop I’ve been to before, in the sense that there isn’t much variety of anything. They had some lingerie that appealed to me, but they were all just the same style in different colors.
They also had some jewelry (locally made & vintage), as well as some scents. I would’ve liked to see more lingerie but maybe they change their inventory quite often? Either way I will definitely be checking this store out again. A few months ago they had one of the coolest/​most intriguing window displays I’ve ever seen in my life.
Also! I think the owner may have a dog, as I see one laying outside sometimes. Dogs are always a plus.

Shag is definitely more than just an «adult» store. In fact, it feels like a cute little arts and crafts store that just happens to have some adult-​themed crafts.
They have some really neat wire-​and-​stone rings that I love, and I bought myself an adorable green wallet with a black peacock stamped on the front. My friend bought a cute bracelet for his sister that has a bunch of book-​shaped lockets around the edge that can hold tiny photos.
Don’t let the «adult» label scare you away. Yes, there is a tasteful section of interesting and unusual erotica, but the unique jewelry and crafts are also absolutely worth a look.

I think I could live in this store. Oddly enough, I used to actually live mere steps from here, but moved right before they opened. I can’t deny this is probably a good thing (for me, that is, not for Shag) as I no doubt would have spent far too much money on all kinds of lovely accoutrements found here.
I can’t think of another store quite like this! Their eclectic offerings mean for finds and the environs? Think Victorian bordello chic.
I spied with my little shopping eye:
–delicious body products that smell divine… the kind of stuff I haven’t seen anywhere else (fig body oil, anyone?)
–beautiful vintagey hair fasteners made by local designers
–exquisite lingerie that will make you weep, most of it made by indie designers
–saucy novelties that aren’t totally embarrassing (no cringe– worthy hen party stuff, though if you must suffer one of these shindigs, you could do FAR worse than shopping here).
–all kinds of unique jewelery, many involving feathers (as in plumes, not hippy dippy shit)
–Sin in Linen sheets
–fancy paper products
Talk about the right place to buy that friend of yours the Christmas gift she never expect.

First of all, I’ll say up front that I’m biased. I’ve done a photo shoot, performance art (casting) at Shag and also taught 4 erotica classes. But I think I can safely say that I’m also a big fan and frequent customer. I love that they combine art, jewelry, lingerie, greeting cards and high-​quality sex toys, along with workshops.
Save for the sex toys, the products in the store aren’t ones I’ve seen elsewhere, and most of them are made by local artists. I got a dual ring (goes around two fingers) by FancySexyMe, a pillow that says Love, a wacky greeting card, bought my boyfriend a pair of underwear by Junk Drawers made from recycled t-​shirts, and have also purchased a gorgeous black and gold necklace and earrings, and even bought a penis cookie. The prices are affordable and everything I’ve gotten is both high-​quality and unique. I like that there’s constantly new items being added to the store and that they credit each designer so you can look them up and see what they’re about.
It’s a quirky, fun shop that lives up to its name. Make sure you check out the ultra-​luxurious rug in the dressing room too!

A sex shop that could only be conceived in Williamsburg.
Indie, locally made erotica? Check.
Vintage-​inspired crafts? Check.
iPod compatible vibrators? Double check.
