Kawthara White Mayafi

Kawthara White Mayafi – Maxi Cotton Veil with Multi-Coloured Embroidery and Gem Detailing
Maxi | White | Embroidered Cotton

The Mayafi remains a symbol of grace and identity across West African communities—called Mayafi (Hausa: Ghana, Nigeria, Niger), Kala Ibadou (Wolof: Gambia), and Iburon (Yoruba: Nigeria). Worn in moments of celebration or quiet honour, each veil tells a story through its craftsmanship and colour.

The Kawthara White Mayafi introduces a joyful new design on a crisp white cotton base. It features scalloped embroidery on all four sides in vibrant tones of blue, green, red, orange, and teal, delicately balanced by subtle gold threadwork. Gem-like stones are scattered across the veil, adding a festive shimmer without overwhelming its elegance.

Designed to be worn proudly during special occasions, this Mayafi offers colour, culture, and craftsmanship in one. Ideal for celebratory gifting or personal elevation, Kawthara speaks to joy and ceremony in every stitch.
