Over 600 years ago in the mountains of North-Eastern Burma, the Karen hill-tribe people discovered a remarkable bark that naturally peeled from the trunk of a broad leafed tree at the end of every rainy season. So began the craft of making natural paper without destroying or cutting down the trees. The Karen villagers called this the ‘Saa’ tree or in English, the Mulberry Tree.

For the last hundred years, hill-tribe paper makers have been practising their craft in the neighbouring mountains of Northern Thailand. They still use natural dyes and lay their paper in the sun to dry, as did their ancestors centuries ago. This has now spawned a thriving cottage industry which helps save and not deplete these beautiful tall mountain trees. Tis ecologically sound industry contrasts with the modern paer making industries which produce harmful chemical wastes.

We have assembled a large collection of unique and beautiful natural paper products made from this remarkable and renewable resource. We hope you enjoy using these natural mulberry paper products as much as we have enjoyed bringing them to you.
