Lokta handmade paper is hand crafted using traditional methods that employ natural fibres, vegetable dyes, and incorporate natural herbs and flowers for unique designs. Sourced from Nepal, this paper is produced by a company dedicated to supporting disadvantaged communities, with 90% of its staff coming from underprivileged backgrounds, including 70% women.
Traditionally, lokta paper is made from the bark of Daphne shrubs, which grow abundantly in the Himalayan forests of Nepal. The bark is sustainably harvested, allowing the plant to regrow over time, preserving the ecosystem. After harvesting, the bark is boiled to soften the fibres, which are then pounded into a pulp. This pulp is mixed with water and spread on a wooden frame submerged in a water bath. The frame is lifted carefully to drain the water, leaving a smooth layer of pulp that dries naturally in the sun. Once dry, the sheet is peeled from the frame, revealing lokta paper’s characteristic texture and durability.
Lokta paper is known for its strength and natural insect resistance, making it ideal for official documents, journals, and traditional Buddhist texts. This eco-friendly production process, rooted in sustainable practices, not only preserves traditional Nepali craftsmanship but also supports rural economies and aligns with global efforts towards sustainable production.
