Fine Craft Meets Intimate Utility.

Blending years of experience in fine crafts; including woodturning, weaving, sewing, and leatherworking.  Leonard Street Rope Works produces high-quality Kink, BDSM, and Shibari gear.

Opening to the public in 2026, our lead craftsperson, Ethan, founded the shop to provide the world of kink with fairly priced, high-quality goods that belong both on your gear rack and in a museum.

We use a blend of traditional and modern tools, techniques, and materials to craft the best pieces for your needs. Everything from fine hardwoods to genuine paracord is welcome in our workshop in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

We believe that quality gear should feel good to hold, feel good to use, and feel good to own. In a world of generic, mass-produced gear, we focus on the classics as well as exploratory designs that push the boundaries of the craft.
