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.
City
What they sell
Dhaka
2 places
Keraniganj
GarmentsKeraniganj, across the Buriganga
Ready made clothes made in Bangladesh. Shirts, pants, panjabi, kids clothes, and jeans. Also stitching to order.
Estimate: shirts from 200 taka, jeans from 350 taka, in bulk. Prices drop again for larger orders.
The biggest ready made clothes market in the country. Most shops want a minimum order, often a dozen pieces. Ask about stitching your own design before you assume they will not.
Bangabazar
GarmentsBangabazar, near Gulistan
Export leftover and factory surplus clothes. T shirts, jackets, kids clothes, and winter wear.
Estimate: the cheapest clothes in Dhaka, but sizes and quality are mixed within the same lot.
Sold in bundles, so check a few pieces from the middle of the bundle rather than the top. Best in winter, when the jacket stock arrives.

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.
