King and Queen - Azipho Creations

This week’s episode is particularly Irie as we speak to creative King and Queen duo who are well known artisans and business owners on the island Azizah and Ras Sipho Onifa.

Members of Barbados’ Rastafarian Community and Co-Founders of Azipho Creations today we catch up in the heart of Barbados’ capital city Bridgetown at Azipho’s Creations newest store in James Street.

This small treasure chest nestled in one of the islands oldest historic sights, Nidhe Synagogue and Museum, and on the recently renovated site in keeping with Bridgetown's UNESCO World Heritage status, would have originally been used for artisans back in the day. It’s full of beautiful hand-crafted pieces…wall to wall! Azizah’s jewelry is bold and distinctive… and Ras Sipho’s work in shoes and leather craft is the perfect compliment.

Specializing in jewelry making, and leathercraft this union is most highly blessed by Jah!

There are so many things I love about Rastafari; one is family, and that family love, unity and strength.  Azipho’s Creations is most definitely a family affair with their daughter also following in the family footsteps with her business too.

I came to Barbados over 20 years ago so I can say with confidence Azizah and Ras Sipho are foundation when it comes to Rastafari way of life and faith and also business. A couple I admire and continue to look up to over the years... I’m interested and excited to hear of their trod, the ups and the downs throughout the years.
