Rope Store & Co.

Rope Store & Co. is an online shop based in the São Paulo area whose stated purpose is to promote shibari in Brazil by making courses and suitable materials easier to get, in Portuguese. Its team is made up only of women; the shop says it supports equality inside and outside shibari and believes there are no fixed standards for the art. The site, which carries the SansaRope name in its title, describes the project as the result of years of ideas and months of work aimed at filling a gap in accessible, good-quality shibari content in the country.

Products and tutorials

The shop sells handmade products, including treated natural jute rope in 8-meter, 6-millimeter lengths and starter and intermediate kits. Its Aprenda Shibari section offers downloadable video tutorials in four modules: the first, recommended for beginners, has 19 videos on safety, first steps, knots and first structures, and the second has seven videos on traditional and somewhat more complex ties. In November 2026 each module was listed at R$100 on promotion (R$150 regular), alongside a complete course bundle and a free safety guide.

Workshops

Rope Store also runs in-person workshops in São Paulo, held in Vila Buarque in late 2026. The introductory workshop on November 21, 2026 is a five-hour day of theory and practical exercises on the basics of tying, building structures and different ways of leading a tie, with attention to safety and quality of execution, aimed especially at people who have never tried shibari. Module 2, on December 5, 2026, is for those who have taken the introduction; it studies more complex traditional ties, their structure and points of attention, and how to lead a session clearly and safely from start to finish. Tickets are sold for individuals or pairs.
