About this product
What you'll notice
- The cover carries actual petals and leaves pressed flat into the paper, so the texture is uneven and the colours shift between orange, deep purple, red and blue.
- The Lokta paper has a fibrous, slightly rough finish that catches the light, with visible flecks and strands running through it.
- It sits between a pocket notebook and A5, small enough to slip into a bag but large enough to write more than a line or two per page.
- The handmade quality means no two are identical; the flower placement, the colour balance and the paper tone all vary slightly from one to the next.
Lokta paper and binding
The cover and pages are made from Lokta, a renewable plant native to the Himalayas that regrows after harvesting. The paper is made by hand in small workshops in Nepal, where the pulp is beaten, spread onto screens, and dried in the sun. It has a rough, organic texture and a warm, natural tone rather than bright white. The notebook is stitched and bound by hand with forty-five leaves inside.
How to use it
The pages suit pencil, ballpoint and gel pen. The uneven surface gives writing a tactile quality, though very wet ink may feather slightly because of the fibrous paper. Keep it out of prolonged damp, as Lokta softens when wet.
Made in Nepal's paper-making tradition
Lokta papermaking is a centuries-old craft in Nepal, originally used for religious texts and government records because the paper resists insects and lasts for decades. Today it supports rural workshops in the foothills, where families harvest the bark sustainably, cook it into pulp, and form each sheet by hand. The pressed-flower tradition is a more recent addition, turning what was once a plain utility paper into a decorative object.
Size and contents
The notebook measures 15 × 12 cm, about the size of a small paperback, and contains forty-five leaves. The ruling is shown in the images. Each cover is unique because the flowers are arranged by hand.
A thoughtful gift
It suits someone who values handmade objects, keeps a journal or sketchbook, or simply likes notebooks that feel considered rather than functional. The floral cover and the visible craft make it a keepsake rather than a throwaway.
