Khulna’s Eid market yet to gain momentum

Khulna Correspondent :

Nine days of Ramadan have already passed , Khulna’s Eid market is yet to gain momentum, leaving many local tailors concerned about sluggish business compared to previous years.

A visit to major shopping hubs including Akhtar Chamber, Haji Malek Chamber, Khulna Shopping Complex, Railway Biponi Bitan and New Market revealed thin crowds at tailoring shops, a stark contrast to the rush typically seen this time of year.

Tailors say the growing dominance of ready-made garments has significantly affected their trade. Customers are increasingly opting for factory-made shirts and trousers, which are often available at nearly half the cost of custom-made outfits.

The higher price of fabrics, coupled with tailoring charges, has discouraged many from placing orders for bespoke clothing.
