Mahbuba Yellow Mayafi

Mahbuba Yellow Mayafi – Premium Maxi Cotton Veil with Guipure Lace, Embroidery, and Gemstones
Maxi | Pale Yellow | Premium Embroidered Cotton

Among West African women, the Mayafi is more than a veil—it’s a gesture of honour. Known as Mayafi (Hausa), Kala Ibadou (Wolof), or Iburon (Yoruba), it is gifted during life’s most treasured moments. The Mahbuba Yellow Mayafi is one of Sonjiki’s most exquisite offerings in this tradition.

Crafted from high-quality pale yellow cotton, this maxi veil features guipure-style lace detailing and delicate embroidery throughout. Subtle gemstone accents are scattered lightly across the surface, adding soft glints of light without distracting from the craftsmanship. The overall look is regal yet restrained—designed for women who appreciate timeless elegance and refined detail.

Whether offered to a bride, worn at sacred gatherings, or passed between generations, this Mayafi is a treasured piece meant to last.
