Living in the age of the internet, handwritten letters have taken a back seat. This makes them even more special. Take the time to tell your loved ones that you care with these beautiful fair trade cards. Handmade in Nepal using eco-friendly paper, they are a true expression of Nepali art.
Artisan Group: Bhaktapur Craft Printers For hundreds of year, people in Nepal have used the Daphne or Lokta tree to produce beautiful paper. Because the trees grow easily and rampantly throughout Nepal, it is a sustainable method of paper production. The Bhaktapur Craft Printers is a project run by UNICEF that provides fair trade jobs to low income families as a means to reduce poverty and preserve an important, ancient craft practice. In addition to providing fair wages, they contribute to the local communities by investing in education and health initiatives. |  |
