Our story

Who are we?

Anatomie Studio is an education and community-focused space for the practice of shibari, or kinbaku (Japanese rope bondage) in London, UK. It is a sex and kink-positive, consent focused space founded in 2015 by Anna Bones and Fred Hatt.  See our studio's website at www.anatomiestudio.com if you're interested in attending a class, or a rope jam.

We have been preparing and selling rope in the studio since we opened, and in 2016 we opened an online store so that our ropes would be available for those outside our local community.

Our team

All our ropes are lovingly hand treated by a dedicated team at Anatomie Studio. Our team work four days a week preparing ropes, drawing on years of experience to ensure every rope meets the exacting standards demanded by both beginners and experienced riggers.

As a shibari ropes store connected to a vibrant shibari community, we're in the rare position of seeing these very ropes in action - used by our local London community in classes, workshops, and rope jams at the studio. This direct feedback loop has allowed us to continuously refine and tune our treatment process based on how they behave in actual use, over the entire lifespan of our rope.
