Soft toys put on display for wholesale in the capital’s Chawkbazar, home to a couple of hundred such shops catering to the entertainment of children. With an outer fabric sewn with flexible materials stuffed inside, “plushies” are not only imported but also manufactured nowadays on a small scale in the country. Thanks to growing purchasing capacity, they can retail for some three to four times the wholesale prices. The photo was taken yesterday. Photo: Rashed Shumon
