Kathmandu Valley Co. Nepali Keeper Journal with Handmade Lokta Paper. Made in Nepal. (5x7 Inches, Busy Bee)

I love the handmade paper, sturdy construction and aesthetic of these journals. I create collages on the pages and the acid free papers are perfect as the base. I loved the first one so much I ordered one of each color!

I love this book! I am an artist and use this as a sketchbook because I wanted a change from traditional sketchbooks. First of all, this book is beautifully made and I love that it is more sustainable than regular paper! Because each page in unique, somew are thinner than others. I did notice that wet ink pens will bleed but I just switched to ballpoint and that worked better. It is not a problem on the thicker pages. I do carry with with me EVERYWHERE so it started to rip on the spine but is still completely together. I love that there are so many pages and the texture is really nice. I already purchased a new one!

Nice book, feels handmade. Paper is thin, ultra fine sharpie does show through a bit, imo too much to use reverse. The 5x7 is big enough for drawing and light enough for easy transport.

This was a gift had a woman's birthday. Everyone wrote in it and commented about how lovely it is

This little journal is so charming, and I love that it's eco-friendly and supports communities in Nepal. It's lightweight and portable, and the Lokta paper has a really great earthy feel. I'm treating it gently because it's handmade, but I think it will last me a good long while without falling apart. Definitely consider purchasing this if you want a journal that feels special.

This is my bee second journal for recording my dreams. This time there was a whole bee on the cover which i was happy about. You will not necessarily get one that looks like the one in the photo as far as the bees go. They are often cut off around the edges. But i love the journal overall and the paper does not bleed through with micron or Pilot precise v5 pen. I have not tried with a refillable metal ink pen. It is perfect for my purposes as a bee dreaming journal. I love the color and everything is handmade.

Beautiful product, but after opening and closing it a bunch, it started to come apart.

This is the perfect size for journaling! It has plenty of paper and well made. I have used it for a few weeks now on various projects and I will say that the best use for it is journaling/scrapbooking. I have trying using water color paints and acrylics on the pages and it will bleed through. Since i use it mostly for scrapbooking it’s getting cover up so I can’t complain about that part but just be aware of that.
