Our Story

Aziza was born and raised in India. Due to her parents work, the family moved around the country and the Middle East which introduced her to the diversity of craft and culture in the region at an early age. Her mother worked at a large heritage textile company in India and Aziza would often accompany her to work where she developed a deep appreciation and love for the rich heritage of Indian textiles and craftsmanship.

Growing up, Aziza spent summers with her grandparents where her grandmother's elegant style deeply inspired her. Her wardrobe was full of sumptuous silk, cotton, and georgette sarees each of which she paired with radiant gemstones, pearls, and gold, finished with pashmina stoles. Her grandmother was wearing her bracelets and bangles over her cardigan sleeves before it was cool to do so.

As a five year old, Aziza loved to daydream that she was a fashion mogul and would go through her grandmother's closet and set up a make believe store and have the household visit and shop from her "store" - you could say the brand was meant to be!

After a short acting stint in India, Aziza moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, a decade ago, for educational pursuits. After completing an advanced degree in Economics, Aziza stayed on to work within Sales and Marketing at a large global consumer goods company. 

In 2024, Aziza took the leap of faith towards fulfilling a lifelong dream and vision - launching her eponymous label based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The journey has just begun and we are so pleased to have you along for the adventure.
