"Himalayan Life" Handmade Greeting Cards Set

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. Each stationery set (8 cards and 8 envelopes) is packaged in a colorful handmade envelope to hold everything neatly together.

Protect Endangered Forests - It doesn't take a forest to make a stationery set. 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's chopping all the trees in the Himalayas.

Jetlag-Free Travel - Yaks, Tibetan 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.
