Nuraissa Black Mayafi

Nuraissa Black Mayafi – Maxi Cotton Veil with Scalloped Embroidery and Lace Detailing
Maxi | Black | Embroidered Cotton

The Mayafi is a meaningful garment across West African cultures—known as Mayafi (Hausa: Ghana, Nigeria, Niger), Kala Ibadou (Wolof: Gambia), and Iburon (Yoruba: Nigeria). This full-length cotton style is traditionally worn by married women and gifted at sacred and celebratory moments.

The Nuraissa Black Mayafi is crafted from soft black cotton and framed with elegant scalloped embroidery in matching black thread and soft gold. Each edge is finished with guipure-style lace, adding texture and a sense of timeless formality.

Understated and dignified, this Mayafi is ideal for religious gatherings, family ceremonies, or quiet reflection. It also serves as a thoughtful gift for a mother, a bride, or a loved one stepping into a new life chapter.
