Olino Paperworks has been importing this exceptional handmade paper from Thailand for more than 28 years. Crafted from the bark of the mulberry tree—carefully peeled after the rainy season—the material grows back naturally, allowing it to be harvested again and again. No trees are cut down, making this paper a truly sustainable choice.

Acid-free and beautifully decorated with real flowers, natural fibres or refined prints, this versatile paper can be used for an endless range of creative and decorative purposes.

Our Thai artisans continue to innovate, developing exciting new variations: Mulberrypaper printed with an eco-print, mulberry paper blended with gampi fibres, or enriched with agricultural leftovers such as cornfield remnants and even coffee grounds. These unique blends are perfect examples of how waste materials can be transformed into stunning, environmentally friendly sheets of premium handmade paper.

Lokta – the Authentic Himalayan Paper
Lokta, also known as Himalayan paper, is one of Nepal’s most treasured handcrafted materials. It is made from the bark of the Daphne Papyracea, a shrub that grows at an altitude of around 2,000 meters in the Himalayas. Because the bark naturally regenerates, no replanting is needed, and the mountain ecosystem remains completely untouched.

The paper is produced through an ancient, labor-intensive, and entirely chemical-free process. This gives Lokta its exceptional qualities: long, extremely strong fibres that far surpass the strength of machine-made paper. Lokta is easy to dye or batik, naturally insect-resistant, and retains its durability for many years. The long fibres also create a subtle, natural sheen that makes each sheet beautifully unique.

Olino’s Lokta paper is crafted by a Nepalese company that employs many women. Their work provides stable income and has significantly improved the living conditions of numerous families. Because Nepal has no seaport, transportation costs are relatively high—but the unmatched craftsmanship and quality make this paper truly exceptional.

Bhutanese Himalayan Paper
Papermaking is an essential part of Bhutanese culture and tradition. Where families once produced this paper at home, a small workshop now continues the craft using the same time-honoured techniques. The primary raw materials are the bark of the Daphne Payri tree and the Edgeworthia shrub, both growing at high altitudes in the Himalayas.

Production Process
The bark is soaked, boiled, and thoroughly rinsed. The fibres are sorted by colour and thickness, then beaten into pulp and mixed with water and hibiscus root—a natural bonding agent. The pulp is spread thinly by hand over wooden or bamboo screens. After the water is pressed out and the sheets are dried, the paper is ready for use.

This traditional paper is exceptionally strong, versatile, and coloured only with natural dyes, making it an eco-friendly product rich in heritage and craftsmanship.

Olino Paperworks has started importing this beautiful paper from Mexico a little while ago. Everybody loves this paper! Amate paper comes from a small community of Otomi native people who are the ones that still keep this ancient paper making tradition going. The paper is created from the bark of the amate wild fig tree (xalama), the nettle tree (jonote), and mulberry (moral). Each type of bark produces a different tone of color, ranging from coffee browns to silvery whites. The pulp from these barks are often combined to produce a swirling marble effect. We first wash the bark, then boil it in a solution of lime juice for several hours, and lay strips on a wooden board. Then we beat the strips until they fuse together to form the desired texture, then dry them in the sun. This acid free paper is a wonderful choice for use in fine art including painting, ink and pastel drawings, crafts, invitations, cards, decoration, wall framed art, bookbinding and wall covering/wall paper.
