BelaS offers a stunning range of paper products, including gift envelopes, bags and boxes which will make giving and receiving gifts a pleasure. They also offer a wide variety of beautifully handcrafted writing sets, cards, wrapping paper and gift tags.

 The word ‘paper’ is derived from papyrus used in Ancient Egypt. The stems of the papyrus plant were used to weave mats which were then wetted with muddy waters from the Nile. They were then pounded together to form a hard, thin sheet and left to dry in the sun.

 The earliest evidence of papermaking as it is known today can be traced to China in about AD 105. The Chinese kept their invention hidden for over 600 years until the Arabs conquered Samarkand in the eighth century. The technique then spread along the trade routes and reached central Asia by AD 751. Today, making paper by hand remains a similar process to that used by the early papermakers.

 At BelaS we are intensely passionate about bringing you paper products that are different, elegant, exotic and stunning. Our objective is to bring paper culture into everyday life.

 Our wide range of products include designs which have been inspired by the myriad of traditional and contemporary constituents of Indian culture. Our products have unique names in Sanskrit (the ancient Indian language) or Hindi to enable each product to have its own unique identity.
