MINNI RITCHI BARK – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
The Beauty of Nature’s Ever-Evolving Layers.
Inspired by the unique and striking Minni Ritchi bark, this jacket celebrates the natural wonder of the Australian landscape. Known for its reddish-brown bark that peels in small curly flakes, revealing the fresh, green bark beneath, the Minni Ritchi Bark Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket beautifully captures this dynamic process of renewal and transformation. Just like the bark itself, this jacket offers layers of complexity, visual texture, and a rich history.
The jacket features an intricate stringybark weave, combining muted magenta and white silk that echo the peeling, layered texture of the Minni Ritchi bark. The softness of the fabric contrasts with the rugged nature of the bark, while the colours bring out the warmth and depth that make the Minni Ritchi so distinctive.
THE ART OF THE WEAVE
-
Handwoven Raw Silk – Naturally breathable and textured, offering a luxurious tactile experience.
-
Muted Magenta and White Silk – The delicate combination of colours mirrors the peeling process of Minni Ritchi bark, highlighting its earthy tones while adding a fresh, modern twist.
-
Stringybark Weave – Emulating the intricate, layered bark, the weave offers subtle dimension and depth, giving the jacket a sophisticated, organic feel.
HOW TO WEAR IT
-
Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal wool trousers, a pale grey or cream shirt, and polished black shoes for an elegant, understated look with a natural twist.
-
Dress It Down – For a more relaxed style, wear with dark denim jeans, a white or magenta tee, and suede boots for a casual, yet refined look.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Each Minni Ritchi Bark jacket is a limited edition piece, meticulously handwoven over 250-300 days. With only a select number available, it is as unique and rare as the bark that inspired it.
A TRIBUTE TO NATURE’S ARTISTRY
The Minni Ritchi Bark Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket is more than just a garment—it's a piece of wearable art that embodies the natural beauty and resilience of the Australian wilderness. Whether worn for a special occasion or to elevate your everyday style, this jacket makes a bold statement, merging timeless craftsmanship with the spirit of the Australian outback.
Wear nature’s beauty. Wear the Minni Ritchi Bark.

Let customers speak for us
from 518 reviewsMy wife and I arrived too town early to see a movie so we went window shopping. Joe Bananas presented material with textures and colours I've never seen before. It was explained the different natural features of the Australian landscape, fauna and flora inspired many of the material designs. Jackets, trousers, jumpers and more.
I am usually a plain dresser as my children remind me and initially seeing different colours and textures on me in the mirror at Joe Bananas didn't look quite right. I loved what was on the hangers however not sure if I could do the garments justice. I now love my green chinos and my summer trouser, yes I bought two.
The purchase inspired me to clean out my wardrobe. I tossed out anything I hadn't worn for 10 years, you can't rush things or go get silly.
I have made a few more little purchases including now a sports jacket, I'm loving my new cloths.
I think it is related to my purchases, I have joined the gym after years of not doing anything. I want to look good in my new Joe Bananas gear.
Look good, feel good. Stephen.
The moment I spotted this shirt in the window of Joe Bananas in Sydney's historic The Rocks district, I knew it was coming home with me.
The quality is superb, the design is unlike anything else, and since wearing it back here in Ireland I've had no end of compliments.
Then came the bonus. I discovered the design is called Raoul Duke, the famous alter ego of Hunter S. Thompson. As a long-time admirer of his writing, that little detail made an already great purchase even better.
Love it
I bought this jacket for my brother for his 50th. Thank you to the awesome staff at QVB (Claudia, Rory) who helped me plan his visit across emails & in-person advice. The “fashion show” day as I describe it was very rewarding as we walked with this purchase followed by a coffee celebration.
Loving my new jacket. I’m just a little disappointed that the promised T-shirts (1x black 1x white) were not included in the delivery.
Outstanding service, I was in desperate need of a black jacket and shirt, I spoke to Francis she couldn’t help me enough she said not to worry about it and that they will be straight on to it. As I live in Melbourne and I shop in the tSydney a bit so they had my measurements on file. She called around and found me one and called me and organised the thing shipping and said I would have in two day's low and be hold there it was days later I received it .Perfect fit both jacket and shirt and fantastic quality. And that’s why I shop at Joe Bananas. Thank you so much.
Everything about this t shirt is first class. The material, the sizing, the fit, the stitching and the colour. I am extremely happy and satisfied with my purchase.
I must have passed the Chapel Street store countless times before finally entering and when I did I was very glad I had. The garments on display where vibrant, colourful and a balanced mix of elegance and casual. It is apparent that a lot of creativity is involved in the design and manufacturing. It is not often I enter a men’s fashion shop and want everything in it but that is exactly what I felt at Joe Bananas. I could not be happier with the items that i purchased.
Love the cut and feel of pants and the willingness to make any alterations that I thought would improve the fit for me. A great product all round.
Great service
When I walked into the QVB store in Sydney I wasn't sure what I was looking for and chatting with Claudia really helped and I found a pair of trousers and a couple of T-shirts that I really liked and the trousers are comfortable and exactly what I need for my work. Thank you for the help with this one
I have enoyed the warmth, the lightness, and comfort. My partner likes the sexiness!
Fast, friendly, efficient, affordable service in altering my 31 year old Black Opal jacket. Excellent all round.

I’m so looking forward to wearing my Joe Bananas coats and suit around Europe for three months. Theatre, opera, concerts. I’ll get some photos to you. June, July & August
The fabric, the cut, the style. Everything to love about this. Think it will be the most versatile thing in my wardrobe.
