For centuries, the people of Nepal and Tibet have inscribed their legal, historical, and religious texts on this very same paper. Made from the lokta plant, an unassuming shrub with the ability to regenerate every six years, lokta paper is still produced using time-honored methods passed down from generation to generation. Every step in the production process is done by hand: from the harvesting of the long, sturdy fibers to the careful binding of every journal. Each resulting item is a piece of art combining elegant design with a rustic yet soft look and feel. Lamali Lokta is made by artisan workshops committed to social responsibility, environmental conservation, and maintaining traditional Nepalese culture. A portion of all proceeds goes towards rural economic development projects.
