Doorjee.
Well, no, I am not talking about any specific tailor. If you are a regular
reader of this section I bet you have came across the name "Doorjee"
quite a few times. This is a boutique shop established in New DOHS,
Mohakhali.
Selina Chowdhury, mother of two teenagers, used to have a hard time
giving them nice salwar kameez to wear as the girls were very fussy
about clothes. One day as she designed clothes for her daughters she
realised that she made them well, and consequently she could open a
small boutique shop just to keep herself occupied. Thus she started
Doorjee. Now at the age of 6, Doorjee is a popular name among fashion
lovers both in Bangladesh and abroad.
Doorjee caters to a huge group of consumers with salwar kameez from
various ranges. They make beautiful embroidered kameez suits for any
occasion. These suits are done with sequin and glasswork and also Dopka
and Jardozi. The georgette ones are mostly done in blocks and embroidery.
The cotton suits are comfortable and done in blocks, tie-and-dye with
embroidery and glass work.
The best thing about Dorjee is that it is very customised, taking orders
for kameez suits (only Doorjee designs) just the way the customer wants
it. There are options for churidar, simple salwar, and pants along with
sleeve options. You can make any kameez longer or shorter and can even
have a fitting done within a day as the factory is just above the outlet.
Doorjee stocks sarees during special festivals like Eids and New Years.
This summer Doorjee has a huge range of items to offer: cotton kameezes,
bexi georgette, kotta kameez with lots of lace, appliqué
, glass works, embroidery etc. Their price range starts from tk.1500
to tk.1900 for cotton ones; tk.1850 to tk.2650 for georgette and tk.2500
to tk.3800 for gorgeous party wear. Their prices never cross tk.4000
as they mainly cater to a huge consumer market.
It is worth keeping Doorjee kameezes as now Doorjee has became a brand
name, and most of all a trend setter.
Address: Road # 15, House # 223, New DOHS, Mohakhali.

For all those delicious summer fruits and the exquisite seasonal vegetables

However, the only catch is the vendors prefer to sale whole sale than
to retail and this bazaar is at its peak from 10 P.M. to the wee hours
in the morning. So, plan to shop in a group for a better bargain.
