Greetings!
Welcome to Davida Brand, located in Narayanganj, Bangladesh. I’m Shamim Shikder, founder and owner. At Davida, we produce premium men’s shirts and traditional wear (panjabis), combining modern design, quality craftsmanship, and competitive export prices.
Our goal is to build partnerships with importers, wholesalers, and distributors worldwide who want reliable, fashionable, and well-made men’s clothing.
Below you will find up-to-date data about Bangladesh’s garment export environment, what Davida offers, our strengths, processes, and how we can work together.
Bangladesh Garment Export: Key Data & Opportunity
Here’s what recent statistics tell us about the industry landscape:
- In 2024, Bangladesh’s readymade garment (RMG) exports reached US$38.48 billion, up about 7.23 % year-on-year despite domestic and global challenges.
- Bangladesh is the world’s 2nd largest apparel exporter, after China. With this volume, Bangladesh accounts for approximately 6.90 % of the global apparel export market.
- The European Union (EU) remains the biggest destination for Bangladesh’s garment exports: in 2024 cloth and RMG exports to the EU were valued at about US$19.37 billion, which is roughly 50.3 % of total RMG exports.
- The United States is another major market, receiving about US$7.20 billion in Bangladeshi RMG exports in 2024. That’s around 18.7 % of the total. (Dhaka Tribune)
- Non-traditional markets are also growing. In 2024, exports to non-traditional destinations earned US$6.33 billion, ~16.46 % of total RMG exports. (Dhaka Tribune)
These figures show strong global demand for well-made clothing from Bangladesh, and many importers are seeking new partners who can deliver both quality and consistency.

Why Partner with Davida
Here are key advantages that Davida offers to importers:
- Export-ready Industry Environment
You benefit from Bangladesh’s mature RMG sector: established factories, skilled labor, supply chain infrastructure. This helps in delivering quality products on time. - Competitive Pricing + Value
Costs in Bangladesh (labor, materials, utilities) give us leverage to price competitively while maintaining high standards. Especially important for bulk/wholesale buyers. - Market Access
Because much of Bangladesh’s exports already go to EU, USA, Canada, UK, etc., there is trust built in these supply chains. Importers in these markets expect certain standards (safety, workplace compliance, labor laws) and we are accustomed to meeting them. - Growing Demand & Diversified Markets
With non-traditional markets growing (16-17 % of overall exports), there is flexibility: you may serve many regions. Davida is ready to support exports to any country (subject to legal restrictions). - Reliability & Responsiveness
We offer sample approval, clear lead times, consistent quality, and good communication. We also offer flexibility in MOQ and design when feasible.
Our Export Policies & Important Notes
To avoid misunderstandings, here are our policies:
- Restricted Shipping: Davida does not allow any product shipments to Israel.
- Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ): Depending on the style (shirt type, fabric, print), MOQs are negotiable. For example, simple half-sleeve printed shirts may have a lower MOQ than fully custom formal full-sleeve shirts.
- Payment Terms: Typically an advance deposit (e.g. 30-50 %) before production, balance before shipment or upon agreed milestone. Payment channels via bank transfer.
- Lead Time & Delivery: Depending on order size and complexity, lead times range from 4 to 8 weeks (this is illustrative; actual lead time will be confirmed per order). We ensure pre-shipment inspection and careful packaging to avoid damage.
- Compliance & Labeling: We follow international norms: label content (size, country of origin, fabric composition, care instructions) and packaging suitable for freight. If your market requires further certification (e.g. OEKO-TEX, Fair Trade, etc.), we can discuss.
- Quality Assurance: We perform quality checks at multiple stages: fabric inspection, during sewing, finishing, and pre-shipment. Defects are minimized. Sample approvals help ensure expectations are aligned.
How We Operate — Order Process
Here’s how a partnership with Davida works in practice:
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Inquiry | You (the importer) describe what styles you need (shirt types, colors, prints, fabrics), quantity, target price, delivery destination and timeline. |
| Quotation & Sample | We send a quote, MOQ, lead time. If needed, sample is produced for your approval (you may pay sample cost). |
| Order Confirmation | After sample approval and deposit, we confirm the order. All specs finalized. |
| Production | Full production begins. We monitor quality, timely delivery. |
| Pre-shipment Inspection & Packaging | Final QC, packing, labelling. Documents prepared (invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, etc.). |
| Shipping | Goods sent via agreed method (sea, air, courier). We coordinate logistics. |
| After-sale Support | If there are any issues—damage, defects—we will work to resolve. Your satisfaction is important for our long-term partnership. |
Competitive Export Markets & Why Now

- Buyers are increasingly seeking variety and differentiation: printed shirts, casual styles, blends of traditional and modern. Davida’s range meets these needs.
- Diversification of sourcing is happening: importers are looking beyond traditional suppliers for reliability, ethical production, cost stability. Bangladesh remains strong in this field.
