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.
ART PAPER - Exceptional in both quality and conscience, this tree-free cotton rag paper is made from 100% upcycled textile fibres and sourced directly from a fair-trade papermaking community in the hills of India. Each sheet is mould-made, sun-dried, and finished with softly deckled edges, preserving traditional skills while supporting ethical livelihoods. Lightly textured yet beautifully stable, it offers excellent performance across all media, making it as versatile as it is sustainable.

Style: COPTIC BINDING
Fact: Coptic binding is an ancient 2nd-century AD technique from early Christian Egypt, considered one of the earliest true codex forms. It features an exposed spine with decorative chain-stitch sewing, uses no glue, and relies entirely on thread for strength. This allows the book to open completely flat, even back on itself, making it ideal for sketchbooks and artist journals. The spine is traditionally left exposed, but can be covered, the sewing hidden or exposed; the rhythmic sewing pattern provides both structure and beauty.
