From The Owner, Rita
Welcome to Shades of Love — a boutique built from the heart, by women, for everyone.
Established in 2000 as the city’s first female-owned adult boutique, our mission has been simple: to create a safe, welcoming space where people of all walks of life can feel seen, empowered, and celebrated in their intimate journeys.
From its inception, founder Rita Delgado envisioned a space where individuals could explore their desires without judgment. With a background in social work and education, Rita’s mission was clear: to create a comfortable, clean, and safe haven for those seeking to enhance their intimate lives. Overcoming initial challenges, including societal resistance and restrictive local laws, Shades of Love has flourished into a beloved establishment that prioritizes inclusion and empowerment.

From non-toxic, pH-balanced lubricants to organic massage oils, and quality toys — we’re here to support your wellness from the inside out.
Beyond its curated merchandise, Shades of Love is dedicated to education and community engagement. The boutique offers a variety of classes and workshops designed to foster open conversations about sexuality, relationships, and self-discovery. These intimate sessions, limited to small groups, provide a safe space for learning and growth, reflecting the store’s commitment to holistic well-being. Shades of Love

In loving memory of my beloved parents
Shades of Love began as a dream — one that came to life with the love, guidance, and support of my parents. Their encouragement gave me the strength to open San Antonio’s first female-owned adult boutique, creating a safe, welcoming space for people to explore intimacy with confidence and dignity.
While our shelves may change, our heart remains the same: a space rooted in compassion, empowerment, and authenticity. My parents’ spirit continues to guide everything we do.
With gratitude,
The Shades of Love Family
