Note: Reclaimed rope can show subtle variations (markings or hue shifts). These are part of its sustainability story and not considered defects.
Can we request specific colours or sizes?
Yes — within our current assortments. Custom colours/lengths may affect lead time and availability. Share your deadline and we’ll advise the best options.
