At Aest Studios, our commitment to environmental responsibility is unwavering. The packaging for our core collection bags is custom-designed and SFQ certified, crafted from three types of eco-friendly handmade papers—Earth Paper, Dongba Paper, and Herbal Paper. Produced using traditional handcrafting methods, each material showcases distinct textures and characteristics, preserving the legacy of craftsmanship while reflecting our brand culture and design philosophy.

Earth Paper:
Earth Paper is a sustainable material made from a high percentage of recyclable and renewable fibers. Its production process adheres to strict environmental standards, ensuring that each sheet is produced with minimal resource consumption and minimal environmental impact. Handcrafted Earth Paper boasts a unique texture and natural flexibility. Each sheet features delicate patterns and organic irregularities, making every piece one-of-a-kind—a testament to both craftsmanship and sustainability.

Dongba Paper:
Dongba Paper traces its origins back to the Tang Dynasty in China, over 1,200 years ago. Traditionally crafted by the Naxi ethnic minority in Yunnan, it is made from locally sourced plants using time-honored handcrafting techniques passed down by Dongba artisans. Renowned for its exceptional durability, Dongba Paper is naturally resistant to insects and decay, with a lifespan of 800 to 1,000 years. As one of the oldest and most authentic forms of handmade paper, it stands as a testament to cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

Herbal Paper:
Herbal Paper is crafted from natural herbal plant fibers, carefully sourced from sustainable plant materials. Each fiber is meticulously selected and hand-pulled, resulting in a paper with a distinct texture and organic color tones.
