PINK BLACK OPAL – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket

A Spectral Masterpiece Inspired by Australia’s Most Prized Gemstone

Australian black opals are among the rarest and most breathtaking gems in the world. While their dark body tone enhances their value, it’s the explosion of vibrant spectral colours within that make them truly mesmerizing. And that’s exactly where Joe Bananas draws inspiration.

The Pink Black Opal Raw Silk Jacket is a captivating fusion of pinks, blues, and purples, woven together with a shock of amber that reflects the dynamic interplay of light within a black opal. Crafted in a plain weave, the silk takes on an almost liquid quality, shifting with movement to create intrigue and drama in all the right ways.

This is not a jacket for the timid—it’s for those who wear their confidence as boldly as they wear their silk. A statement piece with a cheeky twinkle, it’s designed to turn heads, spark conversation, and leave an unforgettable impression.
