Bangladesh’s burgeoning middle class means there is now more shopping choice than ever before, especially in Dhaka’s main shopping areas. By far and away the most visible of these shops are the boutiques scattered around the city’s main shopping districts. These break down into three areas. The shops of Gulshan/Banani carry the highest-quality items but also at the highest prices. Dhanmondi has another concentration of upmarket shops but with more accessible prices. Finally, the city’s street markets carry plenty of overruns from the garment factories sold at rock-bottom prices.
