As Eid festivities draw near, the footpaths of the capital city have transformed into bustling markets, crowded with shoppers eager to make their Eid purchases. Despite the holiday rush, many working people are seizing the opportunity to shop with their families, though they lament the noticeably higher prices this year.

Eid shoppers express frustration over the soaring costs of Eid clothing, with many returning home with limited purchases due to budget constraints. However, as the day progresses, foot traffic swells, and the Eid market on the footpaths becomes alive with activity, particularly in areas like Mirpur 1.

Customers flock to the sidewalk markets, drawn by the promise of affordable prices offered by vendors who claim that their rates have remained relatively stable. Despite the affordability of footpath shops, vendors note a decline in business due to the financial strain faced by many shoppers.

Meanwhile, even brand shops experience increased foot traffic, though buyers grumble about the steep prices. Punjabi shops, too, are bustling with activity, offering a variety of styles for both Baisakh and Eid celebrations. While prices may be higher, buyers prioritize quality when selecting their Punjabi attire.

Fashion houses across the capital have also adapted to meet customer demand, offering a range of trendy Eid clothing options. With the festive season fast approaching, these fashion houses are seeing a surge in customers, with some, like Sailor, combining the joy of Pahela Boishakh with Eid celebrations to enhance the shopping experience.
