Xandria Expands Into Gay With Major Falcon Offering
The Xandria Collection, a distributor of sexual wellness products for women and couples, is expanding its reach
into gay novelties with the full Falcon and Raging Stallion range.
“The Xandria name is synonymous with privacy, quality, service and education, and we were looking for an
equally iconic name to start our gay offering,” said Xandria spokesman Tony Giovanni. “Naturally we thought of
Falcon and Raging Stallion.”
According to Icon Brands Sales Representative
Jenny Tse, Xandria will carry the entire line from both
collections, including the Falcon legacy product of
best-selling dongs, plus all the additions that Icon
has released in the past 18 months. Tse commented,
“They’ll be carrying everything from our glass
Helmet Heads to our big, oval Ass Eggs to our crazy-
popular Jackboot Paddle. And we couldn’t be
happier—they are such a quality company.”
Falcon and Raging Stallion will be available on the
Xandria.com website, or by phone or by mail through
the company’s catalog. For more about the Xandria Collection, contact Tony Giovanni at (800) 242-2823.
