Lokta Paper - A Unique Hand-made Process
Once harvested by hand, the fibrous inner Lokta bush bark is cooked into a mash and then spread by hand on boxed screens and set to dry in the Himalayan sun, creating a durable, fibrous paper.
Himalayan Sun-kissed Paper
The boxed screens create a beautiful and natural texture on the paper with one side screen-kissed and the other sun-kissed. This process creates one of the worldâs most unique, acid-free papers.
Natural Flecks from the Outer Bark
The beautiful Lokta paper pages contains natural flecks from the bush and can vary slightly in thickness from page to page due to the unique handcrafting process.
Traditional Transport
Donkeys carry the paper through the mountain passes of Nepal. The paper eventually reaches the capital, Kathmandu, where it is crafted into our journals.
Maintaining Ancient Tradition
The oldest surviving Lokta paper is a religious text, a copy of the Karanya Buha Sutra Buddhist text, estimated to be 1,000 to 1,900 years old. Lokta Paper is still used today for official Nepali government documents and has been produced in a similar fashion for centuries.
Deckle Edge Paper
The paper's antique-style deckled edges (similar to rough cut) are styled by hand and make a special journal even more unique.
