Saa paper is a traditional handmade paper style from Thailand and is used to make our range of mobiles. The paper is made from the bark of a very fast growing mulberry bush that is very common in Northern Thailand. One of the reasons for the plant's prevalence is that its leaves are a major food source for silk worms, another large Thai handicraft industry. The smaller branches of mulberry bushes (known as 'Saa' in Thai) are cut after the rainy season each year and the bark can then be steamed off. The branches will have regrown by the following year making the process of coppicing an environmentally friendly one.
