Welcome to Bangla Begum's ideal library. It's inspired by our founder's bookshelves at home, full of women, friends and poetry. We built this library as a small digital folly, a gift from us to you, and a literary glimpse into our jewelry world.

Bangla Begum's ideal bookshelves feature our favorite books, on rotation and organized by theme. The current theme is (how could we resist?) female writers. Please note: all book covers are linked to an indie online seller and we present them in the language our founder, Fanny, read them. Ready? Follow this link to feminize your canon.

Bangla Begum is the imaginary character the brand is based on. We regularly ask writers from all over the world to describe her. Here is what they have to say.
