Jalpaiguri, West Bengal

Jute Handicrafts and Wall Hangings

Jute handicrafts — wall hangings, storage pieces and décor — are among the traditional souvenir materials visitors carry back from Jalpaiguri. The district's handicraft shops sell jute items made from the fibre West Bengal is famous for, alongside bamboo and wooden artworks. These pieces are lightweight, inexpensive gifts that make easy travel souvenirs. A buyer gets handwoven jute décor and utility items in a range of sizes.

Typical price: ₹100-800 per piece

Buying tip: Jute wall hangings and small storage pieces are the most portable buys; inspect the stitching edges before purchase since the pieces travel well but snag easily.
