BEND, Ore.—Award-winning sex tech manufacturer Lora DiCarlo has named The Love Piece Club/Ajuma as its exclusive distributor in Japan.
Under the deal, DiCarlo’s range of biomimetic products which are available in 27 countries, will now by distributed in Japan by The Love Piece Club, which was founded by Minori Kitahara in 1996 and was the first woman-owned pleasure products store to open in Japan. Kitahara is known for distributing products that are empowering to women and allow them to explore sexuality without shame.
“As a company that aligns with feminist values, we are very proud to distribute Lora DiCarlo’s products,” Kitahara said. “We share the same vision of inspiring individuals to approach sexual wellness as a lifestyle.”
With more than 25 years’ experience in the sexual wellness space, Kitahara’s business empire has evolved into a vertically-integrated business model which includes e-commerce, brick-and-mortar and pleasure product distribution. She is also an activist for women’s right and an advocate for female-identifying victims of sexual trauma.
“We are thrilled to expand Lora DiCarlo's international presence and extend our product offerings into the Japanese market,” said Michelle Harris, Global Wholesale Director for Lora DiCarlo. “We feel very honoured to partner with Minori and her team, as we know they are equally invested in the mission to destigmatize taboos surrounding human sexuality and pleasure.”
The femtech manufacturer plans to expand its selection of biomimetic products in March with a range of thermal polymer warming vibrators designed for all genders.
