Lokta Purple "sale"

This paper was €2.70 per sheet. We have a new range of Nepalese lokta papers with a wider range of colours and we're clearing this limited stock. 

This is a wonderful ecological paper. Made by hand in the foothills of the Himalayas, it gives local rural skilled employment especially for women. The crop of lokta is harvested from the bark of the lokta bush each year, and its growth prevents soil erosion and is an important biological reservoir.
