Lokta Paper
Crafted in Nepal’s Kathmandu valleys, our Fair Trade lokta paper is made by artisans using the durable and evergreen lokta plant. Growing in abundance in the forests of Nepal and regenerating to a fully grown plant in just over five years, it has been used for Buddhist texts and legal documents for centuries. Depending on the individual design, the papers can be hand-dyed, dip-dyed or hand-screen printed.
Set of three Fair Trade paper stars handmade by artisans in the Kathmandu valleys of Nepal. Made from fibres from the evergreen lokta plant, which grows in abundance in the forests and regenerates into a fully grown plant in just over five years. Each set comes with a cotton thread which can be used for hanging. Packaged in a small box also made from Nepalese lokta papers. To construct your rosettes, remove the white paper strip, fold out the concertina layers, and stick the two sides together.
Founded in 1993, the small family-run factory supports deaf and blind artisans and ensures any scraps of paper are recycled.
