At Peoples Craft World, we present a blend of environment
friendly paper made from sustainable resources. We make paper from bark of
Daphne Bush and ensure that not a single tree is destroyed as a result of
bringing the paper to you.
These handmade paper and paper products are made according to traditional
methods from the bark of the Daphne bush locally known as LOKTA. This raw
material is found in the hilly region from 3,000 feet to 10,500 feet. We believe
that after cutting this Daphne bush, many new branches can easily sprout out
from same roots which will be ready for next cut after 4-5 years. It grows in
the shade of big plants in the forest of hilly region.
We also believe that community and its' traditions are the pillars of mankind.
In this hectic world that we live in, much of our heritage is lost with the
increasing push towards automation and computerization. Human interaction is
also becoming more restricted. The result of this degenerates societies to an
unhealthy alienated disposition.
People's Craft world believes that not only we preserve nature, we must also try
to conserve each community's heritage, and at the same time, promote communal
interaction. Thus, all of our items are hand-made using traditional methods
which has been handed down through generations from time immemorial. Traditional
modes of production increases number of employment specially in underdeveloped
countries like Nepal and it facilitates communal interaction between groups of
producers.
Lastly, whenever possible, the products are also made by training the street
people and people with disabilities. As a result, each item from peoples craft
world. represents not only the rich cultural heritage of community producers but
also our social agenda. We hope that what we do will contribute towards the
preservation of nature, tradition and the community spirit.
