Shopping in Bangladesh
Shopping Hours:
Monday to Friday – 10:00 am to 8:00 pm
Saturday – 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
For traditional or fusion Bangladeshi attire, there are plenty of well-established local brands where you will find products of the highest quality.
Certain parts of Dhaka City are good for specific types of items. The part of Mirpur Road leading south from the parliament building area boosts a large number of shopping malls and local brand boutiques.
Bangladesh has the finest natural dye cottons, luxurious silks, muslin and a weave called Jamdani that is found ONLY in Bangladesh. The craftsmanship is unparalleled and worth spending the money for it!
Saris:
If you’re looking for traditional Bangladeshi saris, you’ll want to go to Bailey Road, which is lined with stores selling them. Those with a taste for unique pieces can go to Banani Road 11 where you’ll find plenty of high-end boutiques.
