RED-BELLIED BLACK SNAKE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket

Stealth, Strength, and Striking Style

The Red-Bellied Black Snake (RBBS) is an icon of the Australian wild, often encountered but rarely understood. Spanning nearly the entire east coast and extending 500km inland, these shy yet formidable creatures love the sun and water—much like the true-blue Aussie spirit.

Despite its intimidating appearance, the RBBS is naturally reserved, often freezing in place to avoid detection. But when cornered, it commands respect, its sleek black scales glistening in the light, its vibrant red belly a warning of power. While its venomous bite is rarely lethal, its presence is unforgettable—and that’s exactly what this jacket embodies.

A MASTERPIECE OF TEXTURE & MOVEMENT

Handwoven Raw Silk – Textured, breathable, and effortlessly luxurious.
Inspired by RBBS Scales – A bold interplay of deep black, charcoal, and crimson silk, mimicking the mesmerising sheen of the snake’s distinctive pattern.
Step-Weave Detailing – Evoking the rhythmic movement of this sleek predator as it glides through the bush and waterways.

HOW TO WEAR IT

Dress It Up – Pair with black tailored trousers, a deep red or charcoal dress shirt, and polished leather boots for a powerful, statement-making ensemble.
Dress It Down – Throw it over dark denim, a fitted black T-shirt, and sneakers or Chelsea boots for effortless edge and confidence.

LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION

Meticulously woven over 200-300 days, only 8-10 jackets per weave—a true collector’s piece that celebrates bold individuality and undeniable presence.

CURIOUS FACT:

When threatened, the RBBS will retreat into water and can remain fully submerged for up to 20 minutes—a silent and deadly master of evasion and survival.
