The origin of the Jamalpur Nakshi Kantha Cluster dates back to the post-1990 period. Due to the easily available labor and sewing skills of the impoverished women in the vast riverine region of the Jamuna, its rapid expansion has occurred. Apart from Nakshi Kantha, various handmade products are also made here. The main products produced here include Nakshi Kantha, Punjabi, Fotua, Saree, three-piece set, two-piece set, Orna, Frocks, Nakshi Kantha, Bedspread, Prayer mats, Wall mats, Cushions, Cushion covers, Mosquito nets, Purses, Side bags, Mobile bags, Travel bags, etc. Entrepreneurs here mainly procure fabrics from various textile mills in Savar, Gazipur, and Narayanganj. As raw materials, threads, needles, poplin, linen, silk, and jute are used, along with various types of fabrics, threads, buttons, dyes, salt, batten, zipper, lace, foam, pasting, and fiberboards. Motorized plain sewing machines, overlock sewing machines, flat lock sewing machines, pedal-operated sewing machines, embroidery machines, electric ironing machines, blocks, batik dyes, needles, pins, general tailoring tools, etc., are used as machinery. Entrepreneurs sell products and receive new orders through their own showrooms and personal contacts.
