Ropes & Riggers
Copenhagen specialist shibari shop selling Japanese and house-brand jute, synthetic rope such as POSH and Hempex, suspension hardware and safety gear. Many of its ropes are hand-treated in Denmark with its own tsubaki-oil and beeswax paste.
Ropes & Riggers is a Copenhagen shop specializing in shibari rope and equipment, operating since 2017 with the stated aim of bringing quality ropes and specialist gear together in one place. A magazine feature reproduced on its site names the rope teacher HenRigger as the owner and as chair of the non-profit association Rope Space, which the shop sponsors. The shop says it sells only products its team uses and vouches for, and that it is involved in the local rope community through teaching, performance and development of shibari and kinbaku, including rope tuition and workshops.
Its rope range covers jute from brands such as Ogawa and Nawaya alongside its own Signature line of asanawa jute, and synthetic rope including POSH and Hempex. Many of its ropes are treated by hand in Denmark with a house rope paste based on tsubaki oil and beeswax, which the shop says improves glide, durability and softness from the first knot; the paste and camellia oil are also sold separately for rope maintenance.
Beyond rope, the shop stocks suspension hardware such as carabiners, suspension rings, slings and swivels, safety shears, Japanese accessories such as furoshiki and tenugui, and a smaller range of BDSM toys, wax and electro-play gear. It sells online with sites in Danish, German, Swedish and English and ships from Denmark across the European Union. A Danish magazine feature on the shop followed a meeting with a journalist at the Erotic World fair, where Rope Space runs a stage.
