Safyia Blue Mayafi

Safyia Blue Mayafi – Maxi Cotton Veil with Gold Embroidery and Silver Gemstones
Maxi | Royal Blue | Embroidered Cotton

The Mayafi carries a special place in many West African cultures, where it is worn to honour both tradition and personal milestones. Known as Mayafi (Hausa), Kala Ibadou (Wolof), and Iburon (Yoruba), it is often gifted to women at key transitions—marking moments with dignity, beauty, and intention.

The Safyia Blue Mayafi stands out with its deep royal blue cotton base, adorned in bold gold embroidery that catches the light with warmth and radiance. Silver gemstone accents are scattered delicately across the surface, softening the design with quiet sparkle. The combination of regal colour and refined detailing makes this veil ideal for weddings, prayer, or gifting with meaning.
