Handmade Lokta Paper

AURA QUE uses traditional Nepalese handmade Lokta paper where possible - for gift bags, stationary, swing tickets, notebooks and so on. It is a fantastic natural handmade material, known for its durability and special texture.

At 2000m in the Himalaya, only the outer Lokta bark is collected to ensure the preservation of the trees. Produced by a traditional technique, the bark is boiled and the soft pulp spread evenly in a wooden frame in water, and finally sun dried.
