Material Guide

COVER MATERIAL: Handcrafted from sustainably harvested Daphne bark, Lokta paper carries a thousand year legacy in its soft, textured surface—brought to life through traditional batik, woodblock prints, and sun dried sheets that honour Nepal’s mountain artisans. Each piece celebrates natural variation in colour, weight, and pattern, offering a beautifully durable, eco conscious canvas that supports rural communities and preserves a timeless craft.

WRITING PAPER - Made on an original 19th-century papermaking machine from a now-closed mill, this paper invites a slower, more thoughtful writing experience. Naturally warm in tone, each page carries subtle inclusions — vegetal fibres and traces of upcycled banknotes — creating a gentle texture beneath the hand. The result is a paper that feels alive: responsive to pen and pencil, softly grounding, and rich with character, where history and nature come together to support creativity on the page.

Binding

Style: SADDLE and DAISY BINDING (PAMPHLET)

Fact: Pamphlet binding is an ancient, durable technique dating to the 4th century, formed by sewing a single folded section directly through the spine to a leather cover. Using simple 3–6 hole sewing patterns—chosen according to thickness—it creates a strong, flexible book that opens completely flat, ideal for journals, music, or zines. While classically straight-sewn (Saddle), the structure can be enhanced with daisy stitching or multiple signatures joined to a cover for added strength and character.
