Rajshahi Silk
5,000.00৳
Pure, indigenous silk fabrics produced and woven in the northern region of Rajshahi.
The 17th century brought European traders in droves. The Dutch, French, English, and Armenians all jostled for a stake in Bengal’s luxurious silk trade. In 1658, they set up the largest silk trading centre at Kasimbazar, near Murshidabad. Soon, silk produced in Bengal became internationally renowned as “Bengal silk,” with Rajshahi’s contribution forming its crown jewel.
