Waliyatu Purple Mayafi

Waliyatu Purple Mayafi – Midi Chiffon Veil with Floral Embroidery and Scalloped Embellished Edges
180cm x 80cm | Deep Purple | Lightweight Chiffon

The Mayafi is a timeless veil rooted in tradition and grace. Worn across West African communities and known by many names—Mayafi (Hausa: Ghana, Nigeria, Niger), Kala Ibadou (Wolof: Gambia), and Iburon (Yoruba: Nigeria)—it symbolises dignity, presence and heritage.

The Waliyatu Purple Mayafi is a regal interpretation of this legacy. Crafted in flowing chiffon with a rich purple hue, this midi-size veil is embroidered with delicate gold floral designs. Subtle gemstones are scattered throughout, catching the light without overpowering. Both long edges are scalloped and symmetrically adorned with intricate florals and light embellishment, framing the face and shoulders with refined detail.

Elegant yet versatile, the Waliyatu Mayafi is perfect for prayer, celebration or effortless everyday elevation. As part of Sonjiki’s “With You Always” Mayafi Collection, it honours both beauty and tradition in every stitch.
