Sakinatu Green Mayafi

Sakinatu Green Mayafi – Maxi Chiffon Veil with Scattered Rose Embroidery and Scalloped Edge
240cm x 110cm | Deep Forest Green | Lightweight Chiffon

The Mayafi is more than a veil. It is an heirloom of grace passed through generations. Known across West African cultures as Mayafi (Hausa: Ghana, Nigeria, Niger), Kala Ibadou (Wolof: Gambia), and Iburon (Yoruba: Nigeria), it is a symbol of modesty, celebration and cultural pride.

The Sakinatu Green Mayafi is a rich, grounded addition to Sonjiki’s embroidered collection. Made from soft chiffon in a deep forest green tone, this maxi-sized veil features scattered gold rose embroidery with vibrant red centres. Each bloom evokes warmth and confidence. A scalloped edge runs along one side, adorned with rosebuds and leafy vines for added softness and dimension.

Designed to flow effortlessly through life’s occasions—whether Eid mornings, wedding celebrations or daily rituals—the Sakinatu Mayafi is part of the “With You Always” Collection. It is crafted to honour both tradition and individuality.
