There are two reasons very good reasons to buy handmade paper and that is quality, and that a substantial amount of the products used in the production of this paper comes from countries where there is a need for fair trade. Through buying this paper a number of manufacturers place at least a portion of the profit back into local charities.

In order to keep costs to a minimum, but at the same time paying a fair wage, a lot of this paper is made in countries such as Nepal, India and Sri Lanka. The products for the manufacture of this paper can be found in these countries and the labour is plentiful. The labour is also skilled in the art of manufacture so the economies of scale are present to assist in producing quality paper. All the materials are naturally sourced and can include cotton ends, banana skins and recycled elephant dung. The use of these natural products indicates that the products are ecologically friendly.

There is individuality to the paper, and no two sheets are the same. You can have the paper embossed with your name and address to make it all the more personal.

Handmade paper is of course ...
... not just limited to personal use but can be used commercially in say the production of books and journals. Limited edition books can be produced from this paper and that will add to the appearance and quality of those books.

Some people wish to make invitations, such as wedding invitations, unique and this is one way of doing so. The same may apply to christening invitations and invitations to such memorable events as golden weddings. The whole point is that there is a special feel and intrinsic value to this paper and that should add to the memories.

Of course hand made paper can be sourced from suppliers in the UK and is readily on-line. Suppliers source from a whole number of countries with different colours, weights and sizes. You can also buy matching envelopes and jotting pads.
