Sometimes when I'm bored, I browse euro sex toy shops online cause they tend to get new stuff earlier than the US. I have noticed these shops carry a line of toys by 'Vibe Therapy' and these toys are the same (generally) as the couture collection by CEN. I'm curious if this is an enterprise of CEN or if the line is leasing their designs to other companies mostly because there seem to be a few Vibe Therapy products which have not been released in the Couture collection and I might want them to be! less

Vibe Therapy is not related to California Exotic Novelties. We own North American
rights to this line which was designed (with our help) by a large factory we deal with. The line is sold in Europe as Vibe Therapy by one of our Distributors. We try to retain worldwide rights (on our designs and patents, that goes without saying) but every now and then, something is developed and then licensed to us for a specific territory...this is a prime example. I can think of only one other instance where we have a similar arrangement...Passion Wave. If you see something that is being sold in Europe, and not in our line, let us know... less

That's really interesting, but by North American rights, that must also includes the Canadian rights? I'm asking because I saw Vibe Therapy products sold on the online website of a sex shop in my town, and I'm in Canada. I thought that the Vibe Therapy products were just another name of CEN when the main language was not in English, so that the product did not sound too American. less

I can assure you, Vibe Therapy has no relation to California Exotic Novelties, or anyone affiliated with our company. I am sure that some people may import from European distributors, so that's why it sometimes shows up :-(....not much we can do about that as our Agreement is with the factory...once a distributor gets it, they can ship anywhere...as can our US distributors. I am sure that the Couture Collection is sold all over Europe...in fact, I just saw a visual of a beautiful store in Amsterdam that has a great Couture display. Our exclusive rights with the factory covers the US, Canada, and all of Central and South America. less

It makes sense, but I think it is easier in my area to sometimes work in European distributors, because it might be easier to get service in French. Not everyone is perfectly bilingual where I come from and service in French is sometimes preferable in order to eliminate any misunderstandings. It's not necessarily an intention to get around the exclusive territory. less
