The story of Knipschildt boxes starts in Nepal.
Lokta is a Nepalese bush that has the characteristics of re-growing again and again after pruning. Beautiful handmade “paper” can be made of the inner bark of this wild bush. The fibrous paper is prized for its attractive soft texture, its exceptional durability, strength and resistance to insects. The 2000 year old art of lokta papermaking is being preserved through equal opportunity cooperatives which teach and provide income to many Nepalese.
Easter may be the perfect opportunity to get your hands on these Easter chocolate boxes made by Knipschildt and share this great story with your family and friends.
