Location
We are a registered Australian business based in Sydney, and we ship to majority of the countries worldwide from our office here. But our artists & makers are based in Nepal.
Uneven texture & deckled edges
Because all of our products are handmade, including the paper, our products are not as refined as products you get from other stores. The print method used is a screen printing and not digital print, so you can expect some variation in colour between each product.
Variation to display photo
The print that you receive will not be 100% the same as the one pictured. The cover of your notebook is most likely going to be slightly different from the one pictured. This is because the covers are cut out of a single large sheet of paper.
The colour may also vary slightly especially on paper that is dyed using vegetable dyes. Between different batches of products, we may also find slight variation in print colour.
On products that use natural pressed petals, you could expect some petals to fall during the course of time and this should be considered normal wear and tear.

Eco-friendly Paper
Our designs has been screen-printed on to special Nepalese handmade paper. It is eco-friendly paper, completely handmade by artisans in Nepal. Made from the fibrous bark of the Daphne Shrub or the Lokta Bush, and once harvested, the plant completely regenerates to full maturity again within 4-5 years, hence saving forest trees and making this a sustainable product.
