Lokta Leaves is a new collection of notebooks made entirely by hand in Nepal, with three cover colours screen-printed on coloured paper. The notebooks are stitched with a soft cover and come in three sizes: A5 and A6 with 120 neutral pages inside and a set of three mini notebooks sized 7x11 cm containing 32 neutral pages. The cover page is handmade, using the bark of a plant called the Lokta, which grows at an altitude of over 2,000 metres (6,500 feet) only in the Himalayas. There are no roads in the area and donkeys or small planes are used for transport. Production takes place in the city of Kathmandu, thanks to the skilled hands of an allfemale cooperative in a small local company that unites ancient knowledge and simple technologies to produce the end product. Lokta paper is renowned for its extreme resistance over time, with important state documents and religious texts written on this paper in Nepal thanks to this characteristic. These notebooks are made exclusively for Fabriano.
