1. Cotton textile cuttings, not trees
The process begins with soft cotton cuttings collected from textile units. These clean cotton fibers replace wood pulp completely, ensuring no trees are ever cut for our paper.
2. Pulp and hand pulled sheets
Cotton is cleaned, soaked and beaten into a smooth pulp. Artisans dip wooden moulds into this pulp to form each sheet, giving it a naturally soft texture and signature deckled edges.
3. Sun dried and air dried slowly
Each sheet is lifted and hung to dry in open air. This slow, natural drying process keeps the paper durable, flexible and beautifully organic.
4. Pressed and finished by artisans
After drying, sheets are pressed, stacked and examined by hand. Every page passes through skilled artisan hands before it becomes a Manani journal.
