BLACK OPAL – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
A National Treasure. A Signature Masterpiece.
Australia’s national gemstone, the Opal, is a marvel of nature—but none shine brighter than the Black Opal. The most valuable and sought-after of its kind, a Black Opal is defined by its dark body tone, ranging from deep grey to jet black, serving as the perfect backdrop for an explosion of colour. Due to its unique internal structure, this rare gemstone diffracts light, shifting its hues depending on its environment—an ever-changing spectacle of brilliance.
The Black Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a signature weave in the Joe Bananas collection, embodying the dynamic, electric energy of this legendary stone. With a dazzling mix of colours woven into the silk, this jacket is an instant statement piece—bold yet refined, versatile yet striking.
With the rainbow spectrum at your disposal, this jacket is ready for any outfit, any occasion, at any time of the day. Whether paired with sharp tailoring or relaxed casualwear, it commands attention without demanding it—an effortless conversation starter.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – Pair with a deep navy or crisp white shirt and tailored trousers for an opulent yet polished look.
- Dress It Down – Let the jacket shine by keeping it simple with a neutral tee and denim, for a laid-back, sophisticated edge.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and distinctive as the Black Opal itself.
- Handwoven raw silk – rich in depth, movement, and brilliance.
- Opal-inspired colour spectrum woven into silk – a luminous, ever-shifting display of vibrancy.
- A signature Joe Bananas masterpiece – wearable art at its finest.
Like the Black Opal, this jacket is a natural wonder—radiant, rare, and impossible to ignore. Extremely limited—secure yours before it vanishes into legend.
