Skilled artisans work with Lokta paper, a distinctive natural paper created from the bark of the Himalayan Daphne plant.

The paper retains visible natural fibres that give each surface its characteristic handmade texture.

Individual journal sections are carefully assembled and bound to create a strong yet flexible book structure.

The crimson cover is finished with a repeating white floral pattern that gives the traditional material a bright contemporary personality.

A cord-and-button fastening is incorporated at the front, adding both decorative detail and a practical closure.

Handbinding requires careful alignment, assembly and finishing so the pages, cover and closure work together as a functional journal.

Variations in paper fibres, texture and handmade finishing naturally reflect the individual process behind each piece.
