The nakshi kantha and textiles market in Bangladesh

Nakshi kantha sells online through about a hundred Facebook and Instagram pages, and Kumudini has its kanthas stitched in Jamalpur, Saidpur, Jashore and Manikganj (Prothom Alo, January 2026)
One nakshi kantha takes one to two weeks to stitch, depending on the design, and stitchers in Rajshahi were paid ৳1,600–৳1,700 a kantha, by size (The Business Standard, August 2019)
A kantha stitched with fish, flowers and other fine motifs can cost about ৳25,000, and the craftsperson, Hosne Ara, said one such kantha can take up to six years (The Daily Star, February 2021)
Jamalpur has more than 500 women nakshi kantha entrepreneurs across seven upazilas, with showrooms in at least 11 localities of the town, and some of their work is exported to Asia, Europe and North America (Dhaka Tribune, August 2026). Jamalpur's Nakshikantha geographical indication (GI) application was published in February 2024 (Prothom Alo English, February 2024)
Jashore's embroidery trade has about 10,000 entrepreneurs, involves about 300,000 people and makes about ৳150 crore of nakshi kantha a year, but it is short of affordable capital (The Financial Express, August 2026)
About 40,000 women in Rangpur division were busy with ornamental needlework on sarees and three-pieces before Eid, and stitchers in Syedpur earned ৳10,000 a month, up to ৳20,000 before Eid-ul-Fitr (The Financial Express, April 2022)
In kantha hubs, designs are often printed or stencilled onto the cloth and then stitched by hand, and an entrepreneur may engage up to 100 women (AramcoWorld, March 2025)
Crochet and knitting are a rising craft business in Bangladesh, from bags, headbands, scrunchies and hats to sweaters and shawls, and crochet and knitwear "aren't limited to winter" (The Financial Express, December 2024)
Among kantha searches in Bangladesh, "aarong nakshi kantha price in bangladesh" ranks highest in Google's suggestions, ahead of "cushion cover price in bangladesh", "nakshi kantha price in bangladesh", "নকশি কাঁথা ডিজাইন" and "নকশি কাঁথা দাম". That is suggestion rank, not search volume (Google Autocomplete collected by JADUZ, secondary, October 2026)

How selling nakshi kantha and textiles works on JADUZ

Every maker follows the same path from order to money:

An order comes in
You accept and pack it
Pathao picks it up
The buyer pays cash
Your earning reaches your wallet
Withdraw to bKash, Nagad or bank

Listing, photos and packing

Lay the piece flat without stretching and measure through the middle. Hand-stitched pieces are rarely square, so measure both ends and give the larger figure or a range, in inches with centimetres. For a cushion cover, give the insert size it fits and how it closes: zip, buttons or an envelope back.
Name the base cloth and whether it's new cloth or old saris, how many layers there are, the thread and whether you dyed it by hand, and the stitch: running (kantha), close filling, lohori, cross, chain or appliqué.
Say plainly whether the piece is hand-stitched throughout, or whether you finished the edges or lining on your own machine. A machine-sewn binding is fine when you say so; a machine-quilted or printed "kantha" can't be listed as hand-stitched.
For crochet, name the yarn and what it's made of if you know, give the finished size, and say whether a bag or purse has a bought-in lining, zip, clasp or handle. Bought-in parts are named as bought in, never as handmade.
Don't write "pure silk", "100% cotton" or "natural dye" unless you know it, and don't hurry a buyer with "heirloom", "rare", "last piece" or an hours figure you didn't count. Warn the buyer if hand-dyed thread may bleed in the first wash.
Photograph in daylight with true colour and no filter: the whole piece, a close-up of the stitches, the back, something for scale, and the piece in use, such as a cushion on a chair. For a kantha, the back shows the buyer it was stitched by hand.
Fold the piece with tissue, seal it in a clear plastic bag against damp, then put it in a mailer bag. Photograph each sealed, labelled parcel before handover.
JADUZ accepts kanthas, embroidery and crochet you make yourself or in your own workshop. Factory-made kanthas and printed "kantha" bought to resell are refused, because they aren't your handwork.

Good to know

Where can I sell nakshi kantha online in Bangladesh?

Bangladeshi makers sell nakshi kantha online through their own Facebook or Instagram page, marketplaces such as Daraz, by supplying Aarong as a producer, and on JADUZ, a curated marketplace for handmade work. On JADUZ, joining and listing are free, Pathao collects each sold kantha from your door, and the buyer pays cash on delivery.

Can I sell crochet items on JADUZ?

Yes. Crochet you make yourself, such as throws, cushion covers, hats, headbands and bags, can be listed on JADUZ. Name the yarn, give the finished size, and say plainly when a lining, zip or handle is bought in. Crochet bags go in the handbags category.

My design is stencilled and then stitched by hand. Can I call it handmade?

Yes, the stitching is handmade, so say both, for example "stencilled design, hand-stitched". Kantha designs are often printed or stencilled onto the cloth first and then stitched over by hand. A printed motif with only a few stitches on top is a printed quilt, not a nakshi kantha, and can't be listed as hand-stitched.

How much should I charge for a nakshi kantha?

Start from your cloth, thread and hours, then compare: Dhaka shops sold kanthas from ৳900 at New Market to ৳8,100–৳14,000 at Kumudini (Prothom Alo, January 2026), and Rajshahi stitchers were paid ৳1,600–৳1,700 for stitching one kantha (The Business Standard, August 2019). On JADUZ you set your own price, and every order shows your earning before you accept it.

Can I sell small pieces like cushion covers and wall mats, not only full kanthas?

Yes. Cushion covers, wall mats, table runners and kantha-stitched shawls and stoles can all be listed, as well as full kanthas. Small pieces sell at small prices: Kumudini sold kantha purses and table mats for ৳300–৳350 (Prothom Alo, January 2026). Give each piece's size, and say how a cushion cover closes.

Why do I need to photograph the back of the stitching?

Because the back shows how the piece was made. Buyers ask to see the reverse of a kantha, since hand stitching shows on the back in a way a printed or machine-quilted piece doesn't. Photograph the back in daylight, next to a close-up of the front.
