WHAT TO BUY IN BANGLADESH

Posted By: Admin on in Information - Comments: No Comments »

Bangladesh is indeed a shoppers’ paradise with a rich tradition in handicrafts at throw away prices. Bangladesh is famous for contemporary paintings, wood works, shital pati (fine cane mattress), bamboo crafts, cane and conch shell products, gold and silver hand crafted ornaments, cotton and silk hand woven fabrics, jute products, brassware, traditional dolls and leather products. Once the world famous Dhaka muslin in traditional weaving is no longer available due mainly to the extinction of the intricate and time consuming weaving process. But a new version that is now emerging gives the same effect is now available in sari form.
These items are a must buy for every visitor because of quality and the price.
