Price: $3.00 Qty: Add to Cart

Handmade In Limited Editions - For those who long for the days of parchment and quills. Nepali artisans hand-make every sheet of paper, and block print each card individually. Pens glide easily across the rich handmade paper. 

Protect Endangered Forests - It doesn't take a forest to make a card. Paper is made of local lokta bark, a sustainable Nepali resource. Lokta grows very quickly, and harvesting the bark using traditional methods does not endanger the eco-balance of the surrounding forest. Support your stationery habit without worrying someone is chopping all the trees in the Himalayas.

Jetlag-Free Travel - YaksTibetan Horses, and mountain villages — not exactly what you find in your local stationery shop. Take a (jetlag-free) trip across the world for a peek into typical Nepali and Tibetan life. Proceeds from the sale of these paper products provide much-needed jobs and community developement initiatives in and around Kathmandu, Nepal.
