Over 100 wooden souvenirs—sampans, surfing boats, seashell wall hangings, Cox’s Bazar banks, Rupchanda fish replicas, anchors’ wall-mates, and wheel wall hangings—are displayed neatly in rows.
The shop’s charm draws tourists with its array of eco-friendly wooden crafts that are entirely plastic-free.
Located at the entrance to Marine Drive Road in Kalatali, Cox’s Bazar Craft is hard to miss.
The shop’s owner, Farhad Hossain, told Cox’s Bazar Life that he started the shop as a hobby with three friends and gradually evolved it into a full-fledged souvenir shop.
Local artisans craft each item using wood, aiming to promote Cox’s Bazar through its unique, handcrafted products.
