Fariha Green Mayafi

Fariha Green Mayafi – Maxi Cotton Veil with Scalloped Embroidery and Lace Detailing
Maxi | Green | Embroidered Cotton

The Mayafi is a deeply rooted cultural garment worn across West African communities—known as Mayafi (Hausa: Ghana, Nigeria, Niger), Kala Ibadou (Wolof: Gambia), and Iburon (Yoruba: Nigeria). This classic cotton style, favoured for its fullness and embroidery, is traditionally worn by married women and often gifted during ceremonies.

The Fariha Green Mayafi is crafted in rich green cotton and framed with scalloped embroidery in matching green thread and soft gold. Each edge is completed with guipure-style lace, adding softness and elegance to the veil’s silhouette.

Ideal for weddings, naming ceremonies, and prayerful gatherings, Fariha offers both quiet grandeur and cultural depth. A beautiful and meaningful gift for a mother, bride, or loved one marking a milestone.
