We are here to make people fall in love once again with our tradition. The handloom industry in Bangladesh is having a glorious past, questionable present and confusing future. The art of weaving is perhaps as old as human civilization. A manpower of about one million weavers, dyers, hand spinners, embroiderers and allied artisans have been using their creative skills into more than 0.30 million a
ctive looms to produce around 620 million meters of fabrics annually. It shares 63% of the total fabric production in the country designed for home consumption. Besides, it provides employment opportunities to a million rural people, 50% of which are female. Another half a million people are indirectly engaged in the industry. It contributes more than 10 billion taka annually to the national exchequer as value addition. Hand loom products have shown decisive upward trend in the export market since 1972 and Bangladeshi handloom products with their distinctive design and superior quality have created a niche for themselves in overseas markets. An international expert’s study reveals that the technical skill of the weavers of Bangladesh is second to none in the handloom-producing world. Day by day energy consumption in textile sector is increasing and shortage of power is barring the growth and production of the industry. Right now so many factories are waiting to come into action but shortage of electricity and gas are restricting. Manpower based hand loom industry can be considered as green industry and the products made in handloom should be branded and marketed not only in domestic arena but also in the international arena claiming the green incentives. Now a days this extraordinary industry of Bangladesh is facing the challenge of survival due lack of Promotion of handloom products , lack of high level skill for the production of handloom products, insufficient association of weavers, scarcity of working capital. On this ground Tantzz…has come forward to promote the handloom products not in Bangladesh but also among the people round the world.
