Women's clothing

Aizhan F.

Aizhan and her sister grew up in a creative family. Her father is a well-known sculptor in Kyrgyzstan. Aizhan had already come up with a name for her future company during her design studies. But it wasn't until 2017 that she founded her own small business and bought sewing machines with her own money. At first it was just a hobby. Today, in her own spacious premises near the city center, Aizhan runs a boutique for individual, expensive women's clothing and accessories in Kyrgyz ethnic style, combined with modern elements that are only produced in small quantities. Her sister also works in the store.

Project description

The ethnic prints are produced in Moscow, as this is not possible in Bishkek. The main customers are wealthy local women and foreign tourists. In the future, Aizhan plans to expand production, purchase additional machines and develop another direction: Mass production of clothes that are more affordable for middle-income people to promote ethnic style. To this end, Aizhan also plans to sell its products through foreign online platforms. To further develop the business, Aizhan plans to attend BPN seminars together with her sister.
