Handmade paper boxes in lokta paper with a mussel pattern

These fine little boxes are made of handmade lokta paper and decorated with a screen printed dot pattern in calm, natural colours. The boxes are both decorative and practical and can be used for storing small items, jewelry, letters or as a beautiful gift box. Fair trade, of course.

Lokta paper is made from the bark of a fast-growing shrub that grows wild in Nepal’s mountains. Instead of cutting down trees, the bark is harvested gently so that the plant can continue growing. This makes lokta paper a far more sustainable alternative to traditional paper based on forestry. The paper is known for its strength, durability and slightly rustic structure, which gives each box its own expression.

The boxes are produced under fair trade conditions in Nepal and are designed by A World of Craft Studio, which works with traditional craft techniques and responsible production.

Description
At Afroart, they want to collaborate with local craftsmen and artists from countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The aim is to make the craft visible in areas where the craft is one of the most important sources of income. Afroart’s own design team helps to develop both the design, but also the development of tools, creating new areas of work and at the same time helping the traditional crafts survive. Here the focus is on not wearing down or misusing the earth’s resources. So here is an extra focus on recycling materials. Things are handmade and preferably locally, this is to create life in the cities and not collect the work in larger cities. Afroart imports through fair trade organisations, which ensure that they trade directly from small artisans. The following countries cooperate with Bangladesh, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Ecuador, Ivory Coast, El Salvador, Philippines, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Mexico, Mongolia, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Tanzania, Vietnam.
