Handmade Nepal is a socially conscious company that has been exporting Nepalese handicrafts; statues, paper products, Buddhist items and jewellery items worldwide for generations... Handmade Paper Products All of our paper products are made of Lokta, also known as Daphne Bhola or Daphne Papyracea which is a plant found in high altitude regions of Nepal. The inner bark of the bushes is collected and processed into a pulp. Using resources like pomegranate skin, saffron and walnut skins the paper pulp is then dyed and dried to turn it into a variety of products. Being one of the worlds few underutilized renewable resources, the production of Lokta paper is a great solution to unemployment for many families in the Himalayan range, not to mention the aesthetic pleasure of its final products.To read more about Lokta paper production visit our "information" page.
