Alipurduar Bamboo & Cane Craftware

Handicraft Confidence: medium

Alipurduar has a registered handicraft cluster of around 229 artisans in 12 self-help groups working in cane and bamboo, making everyday and decorative goods such as baskets, mats, furniture frames, dolls and toys. Bamboo and cane craft is a traditional West Bengal artisan line, and local makers supply both household items and eco-friendly decor. A buyer gets sturdy, naturally lightweight pieces made from locally harvested cane and bamboo.

Typical price: ₹200-15000

Buying tip: Look for items with smooth, well-fired joints and no splintering; larger furniture pieces are better bought in person to check fit and finish.
