THE PILBARA – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket

Ancient Land. Timeless Style.

Inspired by Fred Williams' iconic Pilbara paintings, this handwoven raw silk jacket captures the rugged beauty and vast horizons of Western Australia's ancient landscapes. Williams’ textural brushstrokes and layered depth are brought to life in this stunning weave, blending rich ochres, deep purples, and earthy browns—a true homage to the Pilbara’s raw and untamed terrain.

THE ART OF THE WEAVE

Handwoven Raw Silk – A textured weave that reflects Williams' signature layering of colour and form.
Ochre, Earth Brown & Deep Purple – Inspired by the sunburnt landscapes and shadowed rock formations of the Pilbara.
Art Meets Craftsmanship – A wearable tribute to one of Australia’s most celebrated artists.

HOW TO WEAR IT

Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal wool trousers, a sand-coloured or soft olive dress shirt, and deep brown leather boots for a sophisticated yet earthy look.
Dress It Down – Style with dark denim, a deep rust or muted plum tee, and rugged suede boots for laid-back artistic charm.

LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION

Each Joe Bananas silk jacket takes 250-300 days to weave, making it a rare and exclusive piece. Just as Williams captured the timeless essence of the Pilbara, this jacket is crafted to be just as enduring and distinctive.

A MASTERPIECE IN MOTION

A seamless blend of art and fashion, this jacket celebrates Australia’s vast and powerful landscapes. Whether in the gallery or the great outdoors, the Pilbara Raw Silk Jacket is a bold statement of creativity, craftsmanship, and connection to the land.

Wear the land. Wear the art.
