Deshal’s impressive new makeover

The pandemic ravaged local fashion brand has relaunched itself to reach newer heights
Nearly seventeen years ago, Deshal, entered the market with a whole host of unique ideas – faces painted on kurtis, taat or hand-loomed cotton sarees, use of wooden beads and other handicrafts in fabrics – bringing a gust of fresh air to the fashion wear industry.

And just like that, slowly but surely, their small shop on the first floor of Aziz Super Market became a haven for university students with limited pocket money, particularly for the University of Dhaka students.

Kanak Aditya and Ishrat Jahan, a couple who graduated from the Fine Arts Institute of Dhaka University, along with Sabuj Sidikki started Deshal in 2005.

 

For more than a decade, Deshal focused on handcrafted ethnic products, with its own contemporary spin. Apart from wearables for men, women and kids, Deshal produced lifestyle goods and home decor items as well.

Deshal – meaning ethnic or home-bred – stayed true to its name, up to a point. All the clothes were made from our local materials (cotton and other natural fibres), and made by our local ethnic weavers as well, up until 2015.
