NepalesePaper.com was established in 1995 with the main objective of supporting the developing Nepalese traditional craft industry, thereby improving a family’s standard of living in the rural and urban areas. NepalesePaper.com has supported the same group since the company was founded. All of our hand made paper items are entirely tree free and Fair Trade. We offer many products such as invitations, journals, photo albums, stationery, and so much more.
Nepali handmade paper is made from the inner bark of a wild shrub locally known as “Lokta,” which is found at altitudes of 7,000 to 9,000 feet. The “Lokta Bush” has characteristics of re-growing again and again after pruning. The long fibrous handmade paper is prized for its attractive texture, its durability, strength and its resistance to insects.
All of our products are entirely tree-free and are made from the environmentally sustainable trimming back of the Lokta Bush.
