We believe everyone deserves cute rope accessories!

Shibarbie started the way many meaningful things do…. As a nickname/persona given to myself by my fellow students and friends who saw how I carried myself in rope classes and how I dressed when attending events, I realized that a theme that came out of a moment of play had slowly revealed something true about myself. What began as a playful identity within the rope community grew into a way of showing up, learning, and creating in a space that often feels visually bland, rigid, or unwelcoming to femme expression. Shibarbie stood for a welcoming energy that was inclusive and of course… dipped in pink!

Shibarbie is for the girlies, by the girlies. ( Girlies and Girly-pop DEFINITELY not a binary here btw!) This brand exists to bring softness, fun, and personality into shibari without losing respect for the craft, the safety, or the depth of the practice. We believe rope can be cute and serious, playful and disciplined, aesthetic and intentional all at once.

This platform is both a brand and the rope diary of Goddess Lexi. We document our ongoing education, practice sessions, lessons learned, and the very real process of becoming better over time. Shibari is a lifelong study, and Shibarbie values transparency over perfection. Growth happens in repetition, reflection, and connection.

Shibarbie offers locally/community-sourced custom rope gear, accessories, and merch designed around real needs of the practice while certainly prioritizing fun. Along with our offerings, we have an ongoing “pinkbook” of BIPOC safe recommended rope community friends to guide you along on your journey to find classes, workshops, instructors, and continuing education. We invite you to take a look at our accompanying Blog, Rope Bites to learn more about my own personal practice.

Everything is created with an emphasis on ethics, accessibility, and care. Our goal is to make rope gear feel more approachable, joyful, and personal, especially for those who may not see themselves reflected in traditional rope spaces.

Community is central to everything we do. Through partnerships with local organizations, organizing workshops, vending events, and beginner-friendly event offerings, Shibarbie works to expand access to rope education while intentionally centering femme and BIPOC voices in the community.

Shibarbie is not about having it all figured out. It’s about tying in as you are, learning out loud, and finding beauty in the process.

Cute. Capable. Connected….Welcome to Shibarbieland!
