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.
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.
