A
Banga Bazar
Dhaka is a fantastic place for purchasing cheap ready-made garments, all of which are produced locally for export. If you’re ready to haggle, then head for Banga Bazar, a block west of Gulistan bus station. Although some of the clothes are seconds, with small flaws, most are over-runs. Banga Bazar is usually closed on Friday, but always check.

New Market
The city’s largest market is New Market. You can find almost anything here including maps, material, saris and household items. It’s a great place to get kitted up in local gear. You can find pre-made salwar kameez (a long dress-like tunic worn by women over baggy trousers) for as low as Tk 200.

Bangsal Rd
Bangsal Rd, in Old Dhaka's Bangsal, is the place to buy rickshaw parts. For rickshaw art try further along Bangsal Rd in Nazira Bazar, or Bangla Duair Lane. The art is painted on strips of tin and vinyl, and will fit in most suitcases. Prices are around Tk 50, sometimes more if it's special. Bargaining is required, of course.
