CRYSTAL OPAL – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket Light Trapped in Stone. Colour Set in Motion.
Deep within Australia’s ancient earth lies the opal — a gemstone born of water, time, and light. The Crystal Opal is its most elusive form: translucent yet brilliant, shifting hue with every glance. From turquoise to violet, from ember to gold — it’s nature’s own kaleidoscope.
The CRYSTAL OPAL Raw Silk Jacket channels this spectral energy through an intricate, multi-dimensional weave. Threads of teal, indigo, violet, ruby, and amber intertwine across a dark base, capturing the gemstone’s living fire. The result is a fabric that seems to shimmer from within — alive with depth, movement, and light.
Handwoven over many months, each piece reveals a unique constellation of colour and texture. No two jackets are ever alike — each one a wearable gemstone, rare and radiant.
Handwoven raw silk – richly textured, naturally lustrous.
Vivid interplay of teal, violet, ruby, and gold – echoing the prismed light of a crystal opal.
Dynamic and versatile – equally striking with denim or tailored trousers.
Limited edition – only a appox 10 woven worldwide.
Much like the gemstone itself, the CRYSTAL OPAL JACKET is alive with light, colour, and character — a piece that reveals something new every time it’s worn. Rare. Daring. Undeniably Australian.
Revieved for a present. Concerned that it may be a little bland but the excellent fit, stylish cut and quality of the linen make this a standout. Perfect summer shirt with shorts.
Got this for a gift. Initially thought the colour may be a little much but the cut, the quality of the fabric and the muted tone (yes muted) make this a star with a wide variety of pants and jackets. Very very happy to add this to the wardrobe. Another winner from Joe.
You can rely on Joe Bananas for top quality stuff and for service with a smile. I bought my first jacket over 20 years ago from Joe himself and I have been coming back ever since. The linen shirts have always been a winner (I have several) but I had never had a white one until just recently. Top products - well designed, well made and sold by top people.
Added the linen and silk trousers to my wardrobe and they don’t disappoint. Fully lined, beautifully tailored, and as comfortable as anything. Love them!
