Embroidered Dongria Overlay with Niyamgiri Motifs
$900.00
DESCRIPTION
More than an accessory — the Dongria Overlay is a wearable tribute to Odisha’s sacred Niyamgiri hills. Crafted from a traditional kapdaganda shawl, this easy slip-on piece was originally worn daily and during rituals by the Dongria Kondh women. Its vivid triangular embroidery symbolizes the revered mountain range — considered the sole source of the tribe’s sustenance, spirit, and survival.
The overlay’s open, relaxed construction makes it endlessly versatile: layer it over minimalist dresses, elevate a denim look, or wear it with tailored separates to infuse any outfit with cultural depth and artisanal beauty. Hand-embroidered in bold hues of red, yellow, and black, no two pieces are alike.
Limited edition and made entirely by hand, this overlay is part of DOORS.NYC’s commitment to preserving indigenous craft and supporting independent artisan communities.
Traditional textiles are built to last. But as they are dyed, woven and/or embroidered by hand, colour and motif variations may occur - including a 'rough' finishing around edges. As a result, each piece is unique. We invite you to embrace the individuality of your garment as part of its cultural charm, and appreciate the resilience of indigenous techniques and fabrics.
