Lokta Bold Floral Bamboo Lock Notebook – Medium (15x12cm) – 45 Leaves – Mustard Brown

A medium-format lokta notebook featuring bold, hand-printed floral motifs on a warm mustard brown cover, closed with a bamboo toggle-and-loop fastener. The floral design is large-scale and graphic — not delicate botanical illustration but confident, stylised flower forms that fill the cover with pattern and energy. The mustard brown is earthy and autumnal: warm golden-brown with enough depth to feel rich without being dark. Inside: 45 leaves of handmade lokta paper, unlined.

What Sets This Apart

• The bamboo toggle holds the notebook securely closed in a bag and adds a handcrafted, organic detail that reinforces the artisanal character. Small enough not to snag on other items.
• Mustard brown is hand-dyed during the paper-making process, not surface-printed. Expect warm golden-brown tones with natural variation between notebooks.
• Lokta paper from the bark of the Daphne Papyracea bush, handmade in Nepal. Tree-free, acid-free, naturally durable. The bush regenerates within five to seven years.
• 45 unlined leaves with the characteristic fibrous texture of genuine handmade paper. Takes rollerballs, fine-tips, and pencil well.
• The medium format (15 × 12 cm) is compact enough for a bag and substantial enough for regular journaling — a private journal that travels well and stays shut.

The Bold Floral Pattern

Oversized flower shapes printed directly onto hand-dyed lokta paper. Because the printing is done on handmade paper, the pattern varies slightly in placement and clarity from notebook to notebook. The bold floral design also appears in a larger format (21 × 15 cm) with a fabric bookmark instead of a bamboo lock — same motif, different personality. The large format lies flat for desk writing; this medium with its bamboo toggle is made for carrying.

Choosing a Colour

The Bold Floral Bamboo Lock comes in four colours: Mustard Brown, Midnight Blue, Ruby, and Moss Green. Mustard Brown is the warmest and most neutral — earthy and grounded where Ruby is dramatic, Midnight Blue is deep and cool, and Moss Green is organic and fresh. It has the broadest appeal and works with most other colours on a shelf or desk.

Gift-Ready

The bamboo lock adds a tactile detail that elevates the gift beyond a standard notebook. Mustard brown is a safe colour choice — warm, neutral, and unlikely to clash with anyone's aesthetic.

Common Questions

Will the bamboo toggle break easily?
The toggle is a simple, solid piece of bamboo on a cord loop. It is a durable closure designed for regular use. Bamboo is a strong, flexible material consistent with the range's plant-based, sustainable philosophy.

Is the mustard brown colour consistent between notebooks?
Hand-dyeing produces natural variation. Expect warm golden-brown tones, but the exact shade will differ slightly between notebooks and batches. This is characteristic of hand-dyed paper.

Can I use this notebook for sketching?
Yes. The unlined lokta pages have a slight tooth that works well with pencil, charcoal, and dry media. Wet media may buckle thinner sheets.
