Our story

Lamhe means moments.

We make the paper you keep them in.

Recycled paper, bound by hand in Bengaluru

Lamha 01The name

Gorang Gupta, founder

Dear reader,

Most of what we write down is small. A grocery list. A number to call back. The first line of an idea that might turn into something.

Lamhe means moments. I started Lamhenow because those moments deserve good paper, and good paper didn’t need to cost a tree.

So we make ours from paper that has already been used once. We bind it by hand, a few kilometres from where I live, and send it to you in a box with no plastic in it.

Lamha 03The workshop

Our workshop, Bengaluru

Cut, printed and bound by hands you could meet.

We don’t send our books to a faraway factory. Every notebook, planner and journal is made in our own workshop, which is why we can print a single custom name or five hundred company logos with the same care.
