Tusau Keser is the national Kazakh custom of "cutting the ropes". The rite is performed when the baby starts to walk independently, often combined with the celebration of the first birthday. Of the traditional Kazakh children's rites, the most interesting was tusau kesu (cutting of fetters). A child beginning to walk had its legs tied with a black and white woolen cord, which was then cut by a woman with many children, energetic and agile, thus transferring her qualities to the child. The cut cord was then burned. The jackets are designed for the girl and mom for this holiday
