Our Story
We design and create high quality & functional Planners, Journals, Ring Binder Organizers, Compendiums, PadFolios, Planner & Tote Bags, Leather Accessories and a range of recycled paper stationery products.
All of our products are made entirely by hand with genuine love, passion and care at our own workshop located in the beautiful tropical island of Bali. 🏝🏖
** Our products are made in communities and NOT in factories. **
Through our recycled paper program we encourage and train farmers to correctly prune their cocoa trees & then purchase the waste park. This not only incentivises farmers to prune (which is essential to increase production of cocoa) but also provides extra income to the cocoa farming family. It is usually the women in the farm who strip and sell the bark, the additional income most typically goes toward domestic needs.
Cocoa Paper was established in 2009 to identify and develop economically viable business opportunities that can be adopted by people, and particularly women, in marginal communities to improve their livelihoods in a long term sustainable way. We continue that work today through the sale of our Leather and Paper goods and we thank you for your support.
