Description
Saliha White Mayafi – Maxi Cotton Veil with White Embroidery and Gemstone Accents
Maxi | White | Embroidered Cotton
Across West African cultures, the Mayafi is more than a garment—it is a vessel of honour, grace, and meaning. Referred to as Mayafi (Hausa), Kala Ibadou (Wolof), and Iburon (Yoruba), this veil is worn and gifted to mark important transitions and spiritual reflections.
The Saliha White Mayafi is crafted from soft white cotton and adorned with tonal white embroidery. Subtle gemstone accents are scattered across its surface, catching the light gently without taking away from its pure, serene tone. Scalloped embroidery borders all four sides for a beautifully finished look.
With its understated elegance, this Mayafi is ideal for weddings, prayer, bridal mornings, naming ceremonies, or moments of reflection. A thoughtful and timeless gift for someone beginning a new chapter.
Part of Sonjiki’s With You Always Mayafi Collection.
