- AN ANCIENT PROCESS: The Tree-free, sustainable paper comes from Lokta bushes which grow naturally in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. Cuttings are cooked to a thick pulp and spread by hand over boxed screens and set to dry outside, forming a sustainable, acid-free paper with a beautiful texture. This process has been used for over a thousand years in Nepal.
- SUN-KISSED IN THE HIMALAYAS: Each page has a distinct texture on both sides with one side showing a hint of the fine texture from the screen used to create the paper. The other side, called the sun-kissed side, forms naturally as the pulp dries in the sun, creating a natural texture unique to lokta paper.
- HANDMADE IN NEPAL: Thank you for supporting Nepalese artisans and preserving a 1,000-year-old Nepali tradition of paper making by hand.
Following the 1,000-year-old tradition of handmade paper in Nepal, the Nepali Field Book is one of the world's most unique notebooks with paper handmade from the Nepali Lokta bush. The paper comes from Lokta bushes which grow in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal. This tree-free source grows back quickly when cut. The fibrous inner-bark is cooked into a thick mash and then spread by hand across boxed screens, forming the paper as it dries and hardens in the Himalayan sun. Often referred to as Nepali paper, Lokta paper is used for official government documents in Nepal. The paper has a unique texture with one side showing the intricate pattern from the screen used to create the paper, and the other side, the sun-kissed side has a more natural and varied texture. The water buffalo leather cover is vegetable-tanned with black walnut husks, creating the beautiful dark brown color. Great as a notebook or journal to capture your adventures, the slim size makes it easy to take anywhere. So take it with you on your adventures as a sketchbook or to the office as a unique way to take notes on a sustainable tree-free paper notebook.
