Cultural code
Traditional ornaments — koshkar-muiz, tumar, solar motifs — are redrawn as contemporary graphics, without literal ethnic styling.
BAY by Banu Gaidar is a Kazakh brand of contemporary clothing where national ornaments meet current silhouettes and new materials.
We do not copy historical costume. We rethink the Kazakh cultural code in the language of contemporary design, so it can be worn every day.

Founder & CEO of BAY by Banu Gaidar, fashion designer
Banu Gaidar's path in fashion began in 2012, when at 19 she opened the Erkesylkym bridal salon in Atyrau. Over time it grew into a chain of salons in Atyrau, Oral, Aktobe and Aktau that has dressed more than 100,000 brides.
In 2025 Banu founded BAY by Banu Gaidar, a brand of contemporary everyday wear and outerwear. Its design is built on koshkar-muiz, tumar, solar motifs and the image of the Kazakh yurt, and every model is made in a limited run.
Brand Story
At BAY, ornament is not decoration placed on top of a garment but part of its artistic concept.
We bring together Kazakh cultural heritage, a current silhouette and modern materials so that a brand from Kazakhstan speaks clearly both at home and to an international audience.

We communicate only what the brand confirms and keep every order personal through WhatsApp support.
We deliver across Kazakhstan and worldwide. International orders ship via CDEK International and airmail, with an estimated 7–21 business days.
Orders are sent via KazPost and courier services across Kazakhstan. In-city delivery can be arranged through Yandex Go and inDrive.
Before checkout, our team helps confirm sizing and order details in WhatsApp for a more confident purchase.
A tracking number is sent after dispatch. If a piece does not fit, it can be returned or exchanged within 14 days of receipt.
BAY's premium feel is built through proportion, material, service, and a design language that remains recognizable without becoming loud.
The relaxed unisex cut gives comfort and freedom of movement and sits equally well on men and women.
The dense tapestry weave holds its shape and makes the bomber practical for everyday city wear.
Zippers, cuffs, and finishings are treated as an integral part of the design, not an afterthought.
Every model is produced in a limited run, which underlines its signature character.
