Get The Complete List Of Kayan Lefe As An Upcoming Hausa Groom
For some weird reason, there is little to no information about the list and cost of kayan lefe online. If you search Google for kayan lefe or akwatin aure you will only be coming across some outdated posts, some dating back 7 years from now.
For something as consequential as Hausa weddings and how often we regularly attend them, it is particularly weird not being able to find a full list of kayan lefe online.
While not all websites were devoid of information on the price of kayan lefe, some did have a bit of info, but they gave outrageous and unrealistic prices, which prompted me to write a more realistic list of kayan lefe and post it on my blog, here.
I decided to write something as close to the truth as possible for all forthcoming grooms in Northern Nigeria. In this post, I revealed the average cost of items and listed all the common items you will find inside an akwatin lefe (pre-wedding luggage) from beginning to end, and as you are about to find out, my writing is compulsively detailed.
You can even download the list of kayan lefe, download links below. And don’t forget to share the article with friends and family who need it.
Breakdown Of The List
I obtained my information from personal experiences when I was preparing for my wedding, and updated the prices based on 2025 figures in Nigeria, or as close to them as one can get in this ever-changing economy.
I did this by visiting the markets myself and comparing prices online from many different vendors.
This blog post explores the average price of kayan lefe suitable for an average salary earner or the middle-class, one that is acceptable when planning to marry a young beautiful bride from any average traditional arewa family. I tried to make this list of kayan aure to be neither excessive nor “too small.”
However, I did not add the brands of the different fabrics needed because I don’t peoples’ your preference, and because it is much easier to say “You need a 60k lace and a 15k lace”, instead of Swiss lace or a London Superwax. Female family members can help you identify which brands are trending.

You can customize the list based on your needs and preferences, or when your beloved Hausa bride wants something special added to her akwati sets.

For this cost of kayan lefe, you will see a column titled Average Price, this is the average price of an item. But since you need different varieties of the same item, there is a column titled Price Range, which is the price range you should expect for different varieties of the same product.
For example, a person will add different shoe types that have different prices, you could have a 7k shoe and a 20k shoe all in the lefe box, but the average price could be N8,000 or 8k.
I avoided the lower-end products because the average-priced ones are more appropriate to be added in any kayan lefe. Of course, you should consider finding deals so that you can pay less for.
Example of the list;
Item | Item Description | Price Range | Average price | Qty. | Total |
Laces | 20,000-30,000 | 15,000 | 5 | 75,000 (i.e. 15k x 5=75k) |

How Much Does Hausa Weddings Cost In 2025?
Hausa weddings can cost around ₦1,600,000 – ₦10,000,000 million Naira.
Arewa weddings are spectacular displays of cultural prowess and traditional values. And you will bet it costs a lot to organize the events, the wedding dress and other outfits, wedding pictures, food and drinks, and so forth. Besides those, you have the dowry and house rent to think about.
Average Hausa weddings can cost around ₦1,600,000 – ₦10,000,000 million Naira, the cost varies greatly because it often depends on a person’s level of income. It also depends on where you are going to live, Abuja residents should expect a higher cost of living than, for example, those in Jigawa state.
Anyone who spends more than that without cause is simply being extravagant.
It is encouraged to have unique traditions tied to our culture but not excessiveness. Islamically, there is more blessing in a wedding that is moderate.
I pray for every intending couple out there for blessings on their nikkah preparations and goodwill. I am Hafiz Mukhtar Mahmud, and it was an honour writing for you.
