Screech Lokta Paper
Gift Wrapping
Size: 35cm x 35cm—ideal for holding a 100g Lush bottle, pot or standard-sized bath bomb.
Disposable wrapping ... that's scary! Go reusable instead with our Lokta Wrap — designed to keep your screech-tacular Halloween treats hidden from any prying eyes. Tie it up and pass it on, for a gift that keeps on giving.
Designed by Macy Conway, an illustrator based in Dorset. Her practice is rooted in detailed hand-drawn illustrations, enhanced with digital colouring. She draws inspiration from colour, the outdoors, music, retro aesthetics, and analogue culture. Her work features surreal, narrative imagery with a sense of storytelling.
Leaving the world Lusher than we found it
Nepalese handmade paper is made from the fibrous inner bark of the evergreen shrub, Daphne Bhopal, also known as Lokta bushes. They are cut a few cm from ground level, allowing the plant to regrow from the radial root. The plants regenerate and can then be re-harvested after 3-7 years depending on altitude and growing conditions. Bastipur, close to the Indian border, has the perfect dry conditions required for the papermaking process and the unit there was set up to create employment and support empowerment of women in the area. Pass forward, reuse or recycle for a lush environment.
