White chair riempies, synthetic as well as raw riempies, all referred to as “riempies” but what is it? I find people refering to rattan as riempie, and v.v. Riempie is an animal hide product. Rattan is a plant product, mostly from the thorny, climbing rattan vine.
Most woven products (rattan, rope, cane, etc) is categorised as ” #wicker “

White riempie, below is processed cattle hide, preserved with aluminum sulphate. NEVER soak white #riempies. They are soft and used as is. See here on Youtube how I do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8lXnMruJvI
A standard (8 lines by 8 lines) chair will use about 8 meters of white riempie. It is easy to do if you can use a hammer and a side cutter, and you can order by sending me a whatsapp on 0764989916, or if you don’t want to add me to your contacts, then type this (or copy – it is safe) into your browser: http://wa.me/27764989916, which will take you straight to whatsapp. I can courier all over the country using The Courier Guy.

Some color variants available now. I can also supply raw riempie, raw kudu riempie and synthetic riempie, which can be wahsed and is highly stretch resistant.
The picture you see is a sample of white riempies.
