Hand-made Lokta paper from the Himalayan foothills
This pocket-friendly journal carries a cover finished with a mosaic tile pattern. The covers are made from genuine Lokta paper, drawn from the inner bark of the high-altitude Daphne shrub. Each sheet is dipped and dried by hand in Nepalese villages, so the surface stays alive to the touch — quite different from any factory-made notebook.
Why the a mosaic tile pattern design works
The mosaic-style cover draws on Mediterranean and South Asian motifs, giving the journal an artistic feel that sits well on a desk, a shelf or a travel bag.

How you can use it
The paper welcomes fountain pen, fine liner, soft pencil and gentle watercolour. Many readers use it as a travel diary, a sketchbook, a gratitude journal or simply a place to gather thoughts. Acid-free fibres keep ink and colour clear for years.
Care
Keep the journal in a dry place, away from strong sunlight. Wipe the cover with a slightly damp soft cloth if needed. As the binding is hand-stitched, avoid forcing the pages flat backwards. With basic care, the journal stays in beautiful condition for many years.
