Hand-dipped Lokta craft paper from Nepal
This A4 sheet pack is made from genuine Lokta paper, drawn from the inner bark of the high-altitude Daphne shrub. The surface is enriched with delicately embedded calendula petals, so each sheet carries its own quiet pattern and natural texture.
Why these sheets stand out
Calendula petals carry warm yellow and gentle orange tones, which catch the light through the paper and give the sheets a soft, almost glowing quality when held up. They suit autumn-toned gift wrap, harvest-time invitations and natural-feel craft projects. Because each sheet is dipped and dried by hand, no two sheets look exactly alike — a hallmark of the Nepalese paper tradition.
How you can use the sheets
The paper is well suited to gift wrapping, hand-written invitations, book covers, bookmarks, calligraphy and scrap-booking. It takes glue, stitching and gentle inking well, so paper crafters and people preparing thoughtful gifts both find it useful. One side of each sheet is a little smoother and one a little more textured — and both sides are usable.

A sustainable choice
The Daphne shrub regrows within a few years of harvest, so Lokta paper is a renewable choice. The craft also supports rural Nepalese communities, where the skill is passed down through generations. Store the sheets flat, in a dry place, away from strong sunlight.
