The American sitcom 'Friends' has a huge fandom worldwide, and Bangladesh is no exception.  This legendary series has left its impact on so many people, and so many friendships. And the best thing about it is that you can relate to a lot of it to this day. 

So almost 30 years later, Friends still holds a special place in many of our hearts. And much like gum, even today, products inspired by the series are "perfection".  

Friends Merchandise BD, a venture dreamt by two fans Nabila Bilkis Shova and Rafi Aman, offers you various products to represent your love for the show as well.

Nabila has been a Friends fan since her university days and she always wanted to have products based on the theme of the show. But those were only available on international platforms like Amazon, eBay etc.

"In 2018, on my birthday, I got the 'Central Perk' keychain from a friend as my birthday gift. I still remember the excitement of getting such a small yet rare gift. We wanted to create a platform where everyone can get their hands on 'Friends' themed products," said Nabila.

In 2020, due to the pandemic and lockdowns, Friends had become the most streamed show of the time, inspiring the duo to open a Friends-themed merchandising platform.

Since then, they have worked hard to build a great collection of Friends merch. The collection now has clothing items, popular keychains, Joey's Hugsy, Monica's Door Frame, stickers and even the Friends X Revolution makeup series, and that too, at a reasonable price. 

Stickers

With 50 vinyl stickers per set, the products are the best gift for friends, kids and your significant others, as they can freely DIY their own items.
