Wrangler Jeans

I think I took this picture at Target stores. I don't see too many jeans made in Bangladesh but to my surprise these turned out to be from Bangladesh. Well made and I did buy a pair for kids. I remember growing up Bangladesh, only Jeans available there were imports. That changed now, I see many of the local brands as well as export garments are making good quality Jeans.

Pani Bottled Water

Global bottled water sales has increased dramatically over the year. The global bottled water market is a roughly US$65 billion market, huge market. Bottled water may not be necessary in some of the developed nations where tap water is clean and pure. However, it is almost essential in a country like Bangladesh where pure and safe drinking is so scarce. There used to be handful of bottled water makers in the early stage of the market in Bangladesh but now there are dozens. This one from Price Food Products Ltd has a unique name "Pani" which just means water.

Lands' End Men's Jacket

I was walking through Sears store at a mall and wanted to check out if Lands's End had any items made in Bangladesh as I never saw one before. Sure enough I found some and one of which was this jacket. A little history on Lands' End - they have always been a mail order catalog based company for years until the internet revolution started. Then they expanded their product lines through online. They are just not known in the US but also in the UK and Japan. Many of you may know that Lands's End were bought up by Sears few years back and that's why we see Lands' End section in all Sears stores now. However, they still maintain their root as one of the major catalog and online retailers.

Big Chill Girl's Winter Jacket

If you live in a colder climate and you have kids, you know your kids outgrow those winter jackets each year. I had a get a new winter jacket for my kid but luckily I didn't have to buy this time. A relative got that as a present for my kid. Wonderful looking and warm jacket but I was more curious to see where it was made. It turned out that it was made in Bangladesh. Yeah, the sure made me happy. This is not high-end but the price was up there at Kohl's stores. I am hoping to see more and more high-end jackets at the top retailers and not just low-end ones made in Bangladesh.

Aeropostale T-Shirt

I was looking for a very popular brand that I didn't cover here yet. I really didn't have to go out and look for it. My wife is shopping for our upcoming trip to Bangladesh and while I was checking through the items she bought I found this Aeropostale t-shirt. The irony is that it is made in Bangladesh and now going back to Bangladesh as a gift. I don't really have any clothes of Aeropostale brand but this is very popular among teenage crowds and even young adults.
