Known locally as 'lokta', the paper made from the bark of a plant known as Daphne Papyrus, which only grows at an altitude of above 6500 ft in the Himalayas. The inner bark gets stripped away in this process, but the root system remains intact and regenerates, making this type of paper a fully sustainable resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bark has to be boiled for eight hours to soften and break down the fibres, and it is then hand-sifted before being pulped into a smooth paste. Every single sheet of paper is handmade by a cupful of lokta pulp being added to a set of wooden\/mesh frames. Once the pulp has been circulated across the mesh by hand, the frame is gently lifted to ensure even distribution. The frame is then drained, and the paper dries in the sun (which doesn't take very long for most of the year).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVarious techniques can be used to create the stunning patterns and designs you see on our products, including screen printing.
