Handmade in the Himalayas
Handmade Natural Computer Paper
Vegetable-Dyed
Lokta paper is one of the world’s most unique papers. Tree-free, and made by hand, Lokta paper supports a 1,000-year-old tradition of paper making in Nepal.
The paper comes from the Lokta bush which grows on the southern slopes of the Himalayan mountains in Nepal.
Cuttings from the bush do not destroy it, and the bush can grow back to full height in 5-7 years making it a renewable resource for paper making.
This process also supports the economic growth of small villages that reside in the mountains of Nepal.
