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 mixed flower petals, so each sheet carries its own quiet pattern and natural texture.
Why these sheets stand out
A blend of different petals gives each sheet a warm patchwork of colour, with reds, yellows, soft pinks and greens woven into the paper. The variety means no two sheets look the same, which suits readers who like a little surprise in every gift wrap. 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.
