Thai handmade paper reflects a long tradition of papermaking using natural plant fibres, particularly Saa and Kozo paper made from paper mulberry. Traditionally formed by hand, these papers are valued for their strength, distinctive texture and organic character.
The collection includes a variety of colours, weights, textures and natural fibre finishes, from fine, lightweight and translucent papers to more substantial sheets with visible bark fragments, long fibres and natural inclusions. Each variety has its own surface character, reflecting the materials and techniques used in its production.
Thai handmade paper has traditionally been used for writing, Buddhist texts, lanterns, fans, parasols and decorative arts, and continues to be valued for contemporary creative applications. The papers are well suited to bookbinding, stationery, collage, printmaking, calligraphy, origami, paper craft, lampshades and decorative projects.
Kami Paper’s Thai paper collection brings together speciality papers that highlight the versatility and natural beauty of traditional Thai papermaking, combining tactile surfaces, distinctive fibres and considered colour with the practical qualities required for creative work.
