Christmas Pillow Boxes

Our beautiful handmade gift boxes feature a cute hand drawn Christmas tree design. Crafted by Fair Trade artisans from sustainable Lokta shrub, only azo-free dyes are used to create the pattern. Our stunning gift boxes are handmade from Lokta, a shrub that grows in the foothills of the Himalayas. After being harvested, it is boiled, cleaned, and beaten with wooden mallets to produce a fibre pulp. It is then mixed with water and poured into a shallow frame made of bamboo poles and canvas, before it is dried in the sun. Natural dyes and details are then added to the paper by the skilled artisans, creating the beautiful, acid-free paper. The Lokta paper covers recycled paper card to give the boxes their structure. Due to the handmade nature of our products each one is unique, but loveliness comes as standard. Dimensions Small : 17 × 13 cm Large: 24 x 18 cm Our beautifully handmade gift boxes and gift wrap are sourced from Get Paper Industries (GPI), an incredible, socially aware cooperative in Nepal.

Milan, a founding member, is a man with an amazing passion for life, and he and his team are making a huge difference, as we’ve been fortunate enough to see with our own eyes.
