Nepali Field Book: Leather Notebook with Lokta Paper
Following a 1,000-year-old tradition in paper making by hand, our Natural Lokta Paper is the perfect alternative to regular paper, providing a one-of-a-kind feel for each handmade journal.
The paper is made by spreading pulp from the Nepali Lokta bush over boxed screens. The hardy paper forms as the fibers join together and dry in the Himalayan sunshine.
Tree-Free Paper
Lokta bushes grow on the southern slopes of the Himalayas of Nepal.
Vegetable-Dyed
The leather is vegetable tanned using black walnut husks and mimosa bark.
Renewable
Lokta bushes regrow quickly after being cut, regaining full height in 5-7 years.
A Perfect Fit for Adventure
The slim form factor of the Nepali Field Book makes it a great companion for work at home or in the field.
The notebook is available in three sizes:
Large: 8.5x11"
Medium: 5.5x8.5"
Pocket: 3.5x5.5"
Each size is offered with a choice of Dark Walnut or Caramel Colors.
