Suturaa White Mayafi

Suturaa White Mayafi – Maxi Cotton Veil with Tonal White and Gold Embroidery
Maxi | White | Embroidered Cotton

Across West African cultures, the Mayafi is more than a veil — it is a garment of presence and purpose, worn with honour and often gifted at meaningful life moments. Known as Mayafi (Hausa), Kala Ibadou (Wolof), and Iburon (Yoruba), this style speaks a language of tradition and grace.

The Suturaa White Mayafi is crafted from crisp white cotton and adorned with tonal white embroidery throughout. Delicate metallic gold accents shimmer subtly within the design, adding light without excess. Its scalloped embroidery borders all four edges, lending a structured yet soft finish.

Refined and versatile, this Mayafi is ideal for prayer, weddings, naming ceremonies, and other spiritual or celebratory occasions. It also makes a meaningful gift for a bride, mother, or loved one entering a new season.
