Saharatou Black Mayafi

Saharatou Black Mayafi – Midi Chiffon Veil with Floral Embroidery and Scalloped Embellished Edges
180cm x 80cm | Classic Black | Lightweight Chiffon

The Mayafi is a cherished veil woven through the cultural fabric of West Africa. Known across regions as Mayafi (Hausa: Ghana, Nigeria, Niger), Kala Ibadou (Wolof: Gambia) and Iburon (Yoruba: Nigeria), it holds space for tradition, modesty and self-expression.

The Saharatou Black Mayafi is a refined new addition to Sonjiki’s veil collection. Made from flowing black chiffon in a midi size, it features intricate gold floral embroidery across both scalloped edges. Delicate gemstone embellishments shimmer gently along the borders, adding a touch of quiet opulence without overpowering the look. The symmetrical edge detailing gives it a balanced, polished appearance—perfect for prayer, celebration or everyday elegance.

Designed to offer a touch of formality with ease, this veil moves beautifully and complements both minimal and statement looks. Part of the “With You Always” Mayafi Collection, the Saharatou is a reminder that grace is found in the details.
