The Emerald—a gemstone of legendary status—has been treasured for over 3,500 years, mined from ancient Egyptian quarries to the mountains of India and Austria. Known for its deep verdant hue and mesmerizing clarity, a true emerald must possess both purity of colour and exceptional transparency to be considered among the finest.

have only just purchased my first shirt and its first class quality and goes well with my jackets and chinos
every time that i go past Joe Bananas i have to walk out with something new
Great shirts, amazing colour range, generously large collar size, has become a go to in my wardrobe to dress up or down in the warmer weather. Not the lowest price option, but the fit makes it superior than others for me.
Drawn into the store by the loud fabric jackets on display, I’ve come away with a “gateway” beige jacket… It was a little more than I might have spent previously, but the fabric is great, it drapes and moves so beautifully. Tailoring was required, and was spot on first time. Paired with a couple of brighter coloured shirts I was able to see its potential and am happy with the purchase. Sales support was very positive, with styling help and options in my size all made available to try on. Well worth a drop in, even just to marvel at the bright jackets and shirts.
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.
