Habibatou Peach Mayafi

Habibatou Peach Mayafi – Maxi Cotton Veil with Scalloped Embroidery and Lace Detailing
Maxi | Peach | Embroidered Cotton

The Mayafi holds cultural significance across West African communities—known as Mayafi (Hausa: Ghana, Nigeria, Niger), Kala Ibadou (Wolof: Gambia), and Iburon (Yoruba: Nigeria). This cotton style, beloved for its fullness and fine embroidery, is traditionally worn by married women and gifted during important life events.

The Habibatou Peach Mayafi is made from soft peach cotton and adorned with scalloped embroidery in tonal peach and subtle gold thread. The edges are finished with guipure-style lace, lending a delicate yet structured finish.

Elegant and full of warmth, Habibatou is suited for spiritual gatherings, wedding mornings, or celebratory family occasions. A meaningful gift for a bride, mother, or loved one, this veil carries quiet beauty and cultural grace.
