Skilled artisans work with Lokta paper made from the bark of the Himalayan Daphne plant.

The natural paper retains visible fibres and textured characteristics that distinguish it from conventional machine-made paper.

Individual pages and cover sections are carefully assembled to create a functional journal with a distinctly handmade character.

The cover combines overlapping turquoise, coral, mustard, green and charcoal forms to create its colourful abstract composition.

Visible white fibres travel across the surface, adding another natural layer of texture to the design.

Traditional handbinding requires careful alignment, assembly and finishing so the pages and cover come together into a durable journal.

Natural variations in fibres, colour and finishing reflect the individual process behind every handmade piece.
