This is a fair trade item handcrafted by artisans in India. The artisans make the paper by hand by collecting scraps of cotton from the textile industry. They turn this waste into a pulp and in turn create the rich-texture paper. This means that the paper is 100% tree-free and environmentally friendly.
Wasim was born and raised in Sanganer village, in west Rajasthan, India. His family has been in the paper making industry for over 80 years, and he inherited the art from his elders. Made from recycled cotton rags, the raw paper is then converted into beautiful products such as journals, albums and other types of social stationery without the aid of heavy machinery.
