INDIAN KHADDA PAPER

Our Indian range is designed by both ourselves and a friendly family business in Rajasthan, Western India, who make the finished product. There is no wood involved in the making of the paper, which is made entirely from “Khadda”, unbleached, hard-spun, cotton rags left over from the massive garment industry.

It is one of the few cultures left which, because of the sheer population of the country; still make all their paper by hand. The process is much the same as the Nepali, but obviously using cotton instead of Lokta. Once the cotton pulp is in its mould various different additions can be introduced to give the paper its individual look. resulting in no two sheets ever being identical. Common additions include marigold petals, bouganvilla, auster flower, grass, silk thread etc.
