Baybala is an Alabama based small business. We design all of our products from our studio in Birmingham. Our creative team is led by our Founder and Birmingham native Katie Gaston. Many of our designs are inspired by heirloom pieces Katie and her family wore when they were children. A former interior designer, Katie is also inspired by vintage textiles and natural, timeless colors.
We take a lot of care in the selection of our production partners. The majority of our products are made in India, in factories Katie has visited, and Madagascar, where 99% of the employees of our partners are single women or widows allowing them to learn and provide for themselves in a country where women are disproportionately affected by poverty. Occasionally, we also produce pieces in vetted facilities in China when we are unable to source materials or specific skill sets with our other partners.
Please follow the care instructions as stated on the label. We work closely with our manufacturers to produce items that can be washed by hand or machine. Our care instructions come from our manufacturers, and should be followed to keep your items in their best shape. Please note that we’re unable to replace or refund items damaged by improper care. If you choose to go against the care instructions (we are all guilty of this!), please note that is at your own risk.
Our size guides are offered on each product page. Please select "Size & Fit" and you will be able to view the product measurements and size conversion chart.
Our inventory is typically made in limited runs, which means that pieces do sell out and are not often restocked in the exact same print and silhouette. The best way to receive notification of restock of a sold out item is to sign up via the “Notify Me When Available” button on the product page. You will need to select the size you are interested in to make the button appear.
Please note that once an item from a collection sells out the only way to get that item again will be from a return. Returns come back one at a time but the Back In Stock Alert will go out to everyone who signed up for it in that size, so be sure to act fast when you receive a notification as those single pieces typically sell very quickly.
We try our best to ship all packages from our Alabama location within two business days of receipt of the order (excluding holidays). If you need to receive your order quickly, please select an expedited shipping option when checking out. All orders placed with expedited shipping will be prioritized and sent out the same day if the order is received before 12pm CST Monday through Friday.
We only offer digital gift cards. Gift cards are sent upon purchase directly to the email address you used at checkout. From there you can simply forward the gift card email to the intended recipient, or if you’d like a physical copy, you can open it from the email, print it out, and give the paper to the recipient.

We will honor price adjustments within 14 days of your full-price purchase.

We cannot apply price adjustments for temporary sales or discount code usage. We can only apply this to permanent markdowns.
Coupon codes must be rendered at checkout. If a coupon code shows that it is expired or unavailable, it means it has been used in a past order or the window of use has passed. Our system cannot apply these again or outside the windows specified.
