About the Brand
About
Lion & Light is a mama-owned small business dedicated to creating thoughtfully designed products that simplify the everyday chaos of parenting—without ever compromising personal style. Founded by Shafiqah Sarfani, Lion & Light was born from the belief that motherhood should empower, not limit, a woman’s sense of identity. Every product is intentionally crafted to make moms feel confident, capable, and effortlessly chic as they navigate life with little ones.
Driven by authenticity and purpose, Lion & Light blends fashion and function in every design, offering practical solutions that allow mothers to move seamlessly from playdates to errands to well-deserved “me time.” As a mom of two herself, Shafi designs with empathy and intention—each piece reflecting her commitment to quality, modern design, and the belief that motherhood deserves to look and feel good.
Founding Story
Lion & Light was founded by Houston-based mom and entrepreneur Shafiqah Sarfani, whose journey into business began unexpectedly after becoming a mother. With a background in healthcare and no prior plans for entrepreneurship, Shafi found her spark after the birth of her daughter—a pivotal moment that inspired her to rediscover herself beyond the role of “mama.” Determined to build something meaningful while staying close to her growing family, she turned a small passion project into a purposeful brand.
Her idea truly took shape when her son entered toddlerhood, and she struggled to find a compact, stylish diaper bag that fit her on-the-go lifestyle. Refusing to settle for bulky and uninspired designs, Shafi decided to create her own solution—one that merged functionality with fashion and reflected the modern mom’s lifestyle. What began as a simple idea soon evolved into Lion & Light: a brand built from the heart, rooted in the everyday realities of motherhood, and designed to help women feel seen, stylish, and empowered through every season of their “mama era.”
