WHITE CLIFFS OPAL – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
A Tribute to Australia’s Opal Heritage.
Inspired by the rich opal fields of White Cliffs, New South Wales, the White Cliffs Opal Raw Silk Jacket celebrates the unique beauty and history of one of Australia’s most renowned opal mining regions. Located 800km west-southwest of Lightning Ridge, White Cliffs is the birthplace of Australian opal mining, with its opals regarded as some of the most exceptional in the world. Known for their striking pineapple shape, these opals appear to burst from the centre, making them truly one of a kind.
This handwoven jacket captures the unique palette and geometric form of White Cliffs opals. With its stunning blend of rich earthy tones, bright opalescent highlights, and an intricate weave, the jacket embodies the mystique and beauty of these remarkable gems.
THE ART OF THE WEAVE
- Handwoven Raw Silk – Luxurious and breathable, the raw silk gives the jacket a rich texture and natural sheen, echoing the shifting opalescent colours that define White Cliffs opals.
- Earthy Tones with Opalescent Highlights – The silk threads are woven in rich earthy browns, warm oranges, and golden yellows, reflecting the vibrant hues of White Cliffs opals, with iridescent highlights that capture the bursting brilliance of the gems.
- Geometric Form – The pattern evokes the pineapple-shaped form of the opals, creating a striking visual effect that mirrors the rugged beauty of the White Cliffs landscape and its legendary opal fields.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal wool trousers, a white dress shirt, and brown leather shoes for a refined, polished look that captures the timeless elegance of opal mining heritage.
- Dress It Down – For a relaxed, yet sophisticated vibe, team with dark denim, a mustard or cream tee, and suede loafers to elevate your casual style with a touch of opal-inspired brilliance.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Like all Joe Bananas jackets, the White Cliffs Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a rare, exclusive piece. Handwoven over 250-300 days, with only a select few available, it is as unique as the opals that inspired it.
A CELEBRATION OF AUSTRALIA’S OPAL LEGACY
More than just a jacket, the White Cliffs Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a wearable tribute to Australia’s opal heritage. It embodies the rich history, vibrant colour, and unique beauty of the White Cliffs opals, allowing you to carry a piece of this remarkable landscape with you wherever you go.
Wear the brilliance of White Cliffs opals. Wear the legacy of Australia’s opal fields.
