Stationery and hand made paper products
Eco-friendly tree-free paper!
Beautiful handmade paper products all made from the bark of the Daphne Cannabina bush growing in the mountain area of Nepal, known locally as 'Lokta'.
We have small or large lokta paper writing sets, handmade journals and writing books. Handmade paper makes an ideal gift. It can be used for writing, painting watercolours and can even go in your printer. Lokta paper is strong and naturally insect resistant. Hanging photo frames also made from lokta paper in gold, purple, blue and green.
For approximately 1,000 years handmade paper has been produced in the mountain area of Nepal. The raw material used is the bark of the Daphne Cannabina or Daphne Papyracea bush, locally known as ‘Lokta’. The bark is gathered at high altitudes of 6,500 to 9.500 feet and carried down to villages where local paper makers clean and boil it twice. The boiled bark is beaten with wooden mallets, producing a soft pulp which is poured over screened wooden frames floating in a pond, and spread evenly by gently shaking. The pulp dries in the Himalayan sunshine and the resulting paper is peeled off the frame.
Nepali handmade paper is environmentally friendly and sustainable. After harvesting, the Lokta bush naturally regenerates, reaching full maturity again in six to seven years, thus preserving the fragile forest ecology of Nepal, as well as giving continued work to the many mountain villages.
It is entirely hand made.
