These handcrafted notebooks made from Lokta bushes, which grows on the southern slopes of the Nepali Himalayas between 5,250 and 13000 feet. When properly cut, the bushes can produce three to eight new, fast-growing shoots making Lokta paper one of the most renewable and eco-friendly non-tree papers. Being used anciently for sacred texts, Lokta paper has been a staple of Nepalese artisans for centuries. Lokta paper has a beautiful texture containing natural flecks from the bush and can vary slightly in thickness from page to page due to the unique handcrafting process. About the production: This product is handmade by local women in Nepal. When you purchase this item, you're supporting the artisans directly - 100% of the profits go to the women behind the creation, with no middle men involved. This model allows us to offer competitive prices while ensuring fair wages and sustainable livelihoods for the artisans who craft each piece.
