We work with first-generation tribal artisans in Chota Udaipur, Gujarat to craft papers from banana fibers, mahua, and other natural waste materials. Each piece we produce tells a story—one of heritage, craftsmanship, and a commitment to sustainable, meaningful impact.
Here, every sheet of paper has a purpose. Every fiber, a story. Every creation, a legacy.
