Bangladesh's rich textile tapestry spans over a millennium, encompassing delicate Muslin, timeless Tant and Rajshahi Silk, captivating Manipuri textiles, and more. These traditions showcase a diverse heritage, inspiring endless fashion possibilities.
Amongst them, Jamdani stands out with its exquisite motifs and intricate hand-weaving techniques. It has adorned the people of Bengal, the sub-continent, and beyond, gaining recognition as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and receiving the Geographical Indication (GI) status.
While the handwoven artisanal textile industries and communities faced challenges and decline, a new generation of weavers is emerging with hope, carrying forward the legacy of their ancestors.
To revive and promote these invaluable skills, BGMEA, with government support, has taken the initiative to connect the weavers to the global market of high-end fashion.
