Created from the bark of the Daphne plant (locally known as "Lokta"), this eco-friendly paper is handmade from 100% natural plant fibers.
Lokta paper is collected by Nepalese farmers and Village Co-operatives from the community forest, and then hand-silkscreened by Village Co-operatives , small cottage industries that employ mostly women and promote Women Co-operatives .
Simple technology and ancient papermaking processes are employed to create these vibrant, one-of-a-kind papers.
Each acid-free , 60 gsm sheet features a colorful design and four deckle edges — ideal for papercrafts, hobby and art projects, gift wrapping, journal-making , and scrapbooking.
