Lokta Bold Floral Notebook – Large (21x15cm) – 45 Leaves – Includes Bookmark – Midnight Blue

The large-format Bold Floral in midnight blue. Same deep indigo-dyed lokta paper cover and large-scale floral motifs as the medium Bamboo Lock version, but bigger: 21 × 15 cm gives substantially more writing and sketching space. Instead of a bamboo toggle, this format includes a fabric bookmark with a QR code linking to video of the lokta paper-making process in Nepal. This is the sit-down-and-write version of the design — it lies flat when open and invites longer writing sessions. Inside: 45 leaves of handmade lokta paper, unlined.

What Sets This Apart

• The larger cover shows more of the bold floral pattern, giving the design room to breathe and making individual flower motifs more legible than on the compressed medium format.
• Deep indigo tones achieved through hand-dyeing before printing. Shade varies between notebooks — some lean towards true blue, others towards blue-black.
• Fabric bookmark with QR code linking to behind-the-scenes video of the traditional lokta paper-making process in Nepal.
• Lokta paper from the Daphne Papyracea bush, handmade in Nepal. Tree-free, acid-free, durable, insect-resistant.
• 45 unlined leaves with visible natural fibres and slight variations between sheets — marks of genuine handmade paper.

Large vs. Medium

The medium Bamboo Lock is a portable journal: it closes securely, fits in a bag, and travels well. This large format is a desk-and-home notebook: it lies flat when open, offers more page area per spread, and the bookmark keeps your place for ongoing projects. If you are choosing between them, the question is whether the notebook will mainly live in a bag or on a desk.

Size and Details

Large format: 21 × 15 cm. 45 leaves (90 sides). Midnight blue hand-dyed cover with bold floral print. Fabric bookmark with QR code. Made in Nepal. Fair trade.

Gift-Ready

The large format feels like a more substantial gift than the medium. The midnight blue cover is elegant and gender-neutral. The bookmark and QR code add a storytelling element. This is the version to give when you want the notebook to feel like a proper present — the size and weight communicate generosity and intention.

Common Questions

Does this lie flat when open?
Yes. The large format is designed to stay open on a desk or table, making it more comfortable for extended writing sessions than the toggle-closure medium format.

What does the QR code on the bookmark link to?
Video content showing the traditional lokta paper-making process in Nepal: bark stripping, pulping, screen-spreading, and sun-drying.

Is the midnight blue the same shade as the medium Bamboo Lock version?
Same dye, same intent, but hand-dyeing means no two notebooks are identical. Both will be deep, saturated blue with slight variation in tone.
