All Lamali journals and papers are handmade in Rajasthan, India, or in Nepal by local artisans, using traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation. Lamali’s distinctive papers are made from natural fibres such as lokta, linen, hemp, cotton, or wool, depending on the collection and the local tradition. Many of them are dyed with natural pigments, while the prints are created using traditional methods that are still kept alive in the villages of the region.

Papermaking has been part of everyday life and local tradition in these places for centuries. Each village preserves its own techniques and knowledge, handed down through generations. For many families, making paper and handmade paper objects — such as journals, paper lanterns, and decorative items — is an important source of income and an essential part of their local identity.

Lamali returns part of its sales to local cooperatives, helping preserve these techniques and support the continued production of this authentic handmade paper. It is a material with remarkable beauty, character, and history — valued by artists, makers, and everyone who appreciates the true worth of handmade craftsmanship.
