BLACK OPAL STEPWEAVE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket

Nature’s Rarest Treasure. Woven into Timeless Craft.

The Black Opal Stepweave Raw Silk Jacket is more than a piece of clothing—it’s a tribute to the unmatched brilliance of Australian Black Opals, where nature’s artistry meets masterful craftsmanship. These rare and mesmerizing gemstones, formed over millions of years beneath the surface of the Australian Outback, are revered for their deep, dark body tones and electrifying bursts of colour, shifting and shimmering with every movement.

This jacket captures that magic through a meticulous handwoven stepweave, designed to reflect the layered depth and complexity of the Black Opal itself. Vibrant hues flicker through the dark silk fabric, much like the play-of-colour seen in these legendary stones. Every thread tells a story of earth’s hidden treasures, brought to life by the artistry of Joe Bananas’ expert weavers.

To wear the Black Opal Stepweave Jacket is to carry a piece of Australia’s natural wonder and elegance, wrapped in a fabric that is as rare as the gemstone that inspired it.
