Henry & June was founded in 1997 in Reno,
Nevada (USA) with the mission of selling sexy
lingerie through a tasteful, easy to use online
store backed by rapid, courteous email service
and fast shipping.
Romantically speaking, American author, Henry
Miller and his beautiful wife June, a real-life
couple made famous through the erotic diaries
of Anaïs Nin, were ahead of their time. Together,
they refused to pay attention to Victorian boundaries
and bucked every system and society that would
attempt to stifle them.
For example, during the 1930's, while living
in Paris, Henry lusted for his notoriously sexual
and flighty wife June, but found the coy innocence
of family friend, Anaïs Nin, too tempting to
avoid.
Henry and Anaïs had a torrid love affair,
documented in detail within her reknown diaries.
But the real surprise is that Anaïs' true desire
was not so much for Henry as for June! The forbidden
affair between the two insatiable women was
brief, but according to the diaries of Nin,
none the less memorable and satisfying!
Henry & June lived lives of fantasy,
tragedy, unconvention and obsession; lives that
some might consider too roguish to forgive.
But because they were, if nothing else, sexual
revolutionists and lovers of love, we decided
to pay tribute to their adventurous attitudes
by naming our store after them.
In a way, we all want to be Henry & June
. . .
