Lokta Bold Floral Bamboo Lock Notebook – Medium (15x12cm) – 45 Leaves – Midnight Blue

The Bold Floral pattern on a deep midnight blue lokta paper cover, closed with a bamboo toggle fastener. The same large-scale, graphic floral motifs as the rest of the Bold Floral family, but the dark blue background pushes the flowers forward — the contrast between bold print and saturated indigo base gives this version the most dramatic presence of the four medium Bamboo Lock colours. Inside: 45 leaves of handmade lokta paper, unlined.

What Sets This Apart

Deep, saturated, almost navy. The indigo tones are achieved through hand-dyeing the lokta paper before printing, so the shade varies between notebooks — some lean towards true blue, others towards blue-black.

Indigo has a long history as a natural dye in South Asian craft traditions. Nepali textiles have used it for centuries, and there is a depth to the colour that synthetic blues do not quite match.

Bamboo toggle-and-loop closure holds the notebook securely closed. The combination of deep blue, bold pattern, and natural bamboo sits somewhere between traditional craft and contemporary design.

Lokta paper from the Daphne Papyracea bush, handmade in Nepal. Tree-free, acid-free, naturally durable and resistant to insects and mildew.

45 unlined leaves with fibrous texture and natural flecks. Takes rollerballs, fine-tips, and pencil well.

The Most Versatile Colour On a shelf, Midnight Blue is the most "serious" and sophisticated of the four Bamboo Lock options. Where Mustard Brown feels warm and earthy and Ruby feels bold and expressive, Midnight Blue feels calm, contained, and quietly striking. It could sit on a desk in a yoga studio or on a shelf in a modern flat without looking out of place in either.

Size and Details Medium format: 15 × 12 cm. 45 leaves (90 sides). Midnight blue hand-dyed cover with bold floral print. Bamboo toggle-and-loop closure. Made in Nepal. Fair trade.

Gift-Ready The most universally safe colour in the Bold Floral Bamboo Lock set. Deep blue reads as elegant and gender-neutral, and it is the colour least likely to clash with someone's personal aesthetic. The dark cover, bold pattern, and bamboo detail make it feel like a premium object. Good for people who lean towards cooler colours, who like refined rather than playful stationery, or who would appreciate a handmade journal that looks as good closed on a desk as it does open on a page.

Common Questions How dark is the midnight blue? Deep and saturated — closer to navy than to sky blue. Hand-dyeing means some notebooks lean slightly more towards true blue and others towards blue-black. All read as rich, dark blue.

Is this the same design as the large Bold Floral Midnight Blue? Same floral motif, different format and closure. The medium has a bamboo toggle and is designed for portability. The large format (21 × 15 cm) lies flat for desk writing and includes a fabric bookmark instead.

What kind of pen works best on lokta paper? Rollerballs and fine-tipped pens are ideal. Pencil works beautifully. Fountain pens may feather more than on coated paper — fine nibs with drier inks work best.
