Plum Fibre Lokta Paper Journal Notebook is handcrafted in Nepal using traditional paper and bookbinding techniques passed through generations of artisan practice.

The process begins with natural Lokta paper, made from the bark of the Himalayan Daphne plant.

The paper retains visible fibres and natural surface irregularities, giving it a tactile quality noticeably different from conventional machine-made paper.

Individual cover and page sections are carefully prepared and assembled through traditional handbinding.

Deep plum-coloured fibres scattered across the natural-toned cover create an organic pattern that changes subtly from one journal to another.

A raised paper strip, cord and button are incorporated into the front to create a simple functional closure.

Small differences in stitching, fibre placement and surface texture preserve the individual character of the artisan-made piece.

The seller does not specify the exact amount of time required to complete one journal.
