Bangladeshi bead artist Syeda Anisa sets second Guinness World Record

Staff Correspondent

Bangladeshi bead artist Syeda Anisa Murshed has secured her second Guinness World Record, this time for making the most beaded bracelets by an individual in one hour.

Anisa created 57 beaded bracelets within an hour at SC Club Limited in Dhaka on July 25, 2026, surpassing the previous record of 40 by 17 bracelets, according to the official Guinness World Records website.

Only fully completed bracelets were counted towards the final tally. She received confirmation of the record on October 12 and was awarded the certificate later that month.

The latest achievement follows her first Guinness World Record, set on August 12, 2022, for the longest thread of beads made by an individual in one hour. On that occasion, she strung 1,671 beads into a 42.3-metre-long thread, breaking the previous record of 32.7 metres.

Both of her records remain unbeaten, according to the Guinness World Records website.

Beyond her passion for beadwork, Anisa has more than 12 years of corporate experience in marketing and communications, having worked with several leading organisations in the consumer goods and e-commerce sectors. She currently serves as general manager of Digital Assets and Communications at bKash Limited.

Her interest in beadwork began when she was 10 years old, and she has continued pursuing the craft for more than two decades alongside her professional career.

“Beadwork and handicrafts in Bangladesh carry generations of skill, yet so much of it never travels beyond local markets,” Anisa said.

She said she hopes her record will help bring greater international attention to traditional crafts and encourage marginalised artisans across the country to take pride in their work and showcase their talents globally.

“Through my initiatives and my venture, Beaded Bangladesh, I want to give local artisans the confidence to believe in themselves and give their exceptional beadwork a global stage,” she added.
