ABOUT

Figure of A is an accessories brand inspired by Japanese rope bondage - Shibari, designed by rope artist and fashion designer, Anna Kii.
After practising rope bondage for several years, Anna’s idea of wearable Shibari was born - tying together her passion for Shibari and design. Figure of A translates traditional rope patterns used for binding the body to clothes and accessories, where rope has both a functional and decorative purpose.
Edgy, architectural, feminine and body-aware, Figure of A pieces function equally well as part of your everyday styling as they do as part of a fetish-heavy ensemble. It is Anna’s hope that her product’s wearability and amenity with contemporary fashion will help lift Shibari from the underground, recontextualising the art form in the public imagination to the aesthetic, sensual and consensual practise it truly is. 
All pieces are handmade from top quality leather and custom made ropes.
Tied in London.

STORAGE & CARE
Store your Figure of A items folded or hung up on a hanger in a dark dry place. Don't squash to avoid deformation.
Items made with waxed cotton rope cannot be fully washed, but can be cleaned professionally/dry cleaned. Minor stains can be wiped off with baby wipes.
Items made from polyester rope can be hand washed or dry cleaned.
PLEASE check the product description for specific care instructions.
HAND WASH INSTRUCTIONS
Fill a bucket with warm water.
If required, stir in a small drop of mild, non-alkaline detergent or baby shampoo. Place your item in the bucket and gently swirl for a minute or two, taking care not to scrub at it or leave it in for too long. Rub it gently with a cloth.
Rinse the item carefully to remove any suds. Dab the rope dry from excess water, and dry the metal parts as much as possible. 
Air dry lying flat on a towel away from direct sunlight.
Do not wring it out, tumble dry it or iron it, as such treatment will damage the rope.
Make sure it's completely dry before storing.
