Where to buy stock in Bangladesh
The markets sellers here actually buy from, by city and by what they sell.
These are areas, not shops we vouch for. We are telling you which market sells what and roughly what it costs, so you know where to start. We have not checked any single trader, and no money should change hands before you have seen the goods yourself. Every price here is an estimate and changes with the season.

Cloth by the thaan. Cotton, georgette, chiffon, silk, linen, and lining. Both local and imported.
Estimate: 90 to 400 taka a yard for common cotton and georgette. Silk and imported goods go much higher.
Go in person. Most shops open around 10am and shut by 8pm, and Friday is quiet. Take cash and be ready to walk to three or four shops before you buy.

Stock sorted. Now where do people buy it?
A Facebook page is a start. A real shop with a cart and a checkout sells more, and it keeps selling while you sleep.
