RED LANDSCAPE
This weave is inspired by one of my most favourite Aussie artists, Fred Williams and his series of works known as the 'Red Landscape'. This weave encapsulates the raw allure and vibrant hues of the Australian outback. Its colour palette mirrors the deep reds, ochres, and earthy tones characteristic of Williams' renowned Red Landscapes, evoking the essence of the rugged and iron-rich landscapes.
Crafted from textured silk, the jacket recreates the layered and tactile surfaces found in nature, providing a sensory journey reminiscent of the outback's natural beauty. Seamlessly blending artistic inspiration with impeccable craftsmanship, this jacket offers an interpretation of Williams' honest and sophisticated landscapes, making it a wearable tribute to Australia's expansive and ancient terrain.
Like Fred himself, this one is legendary!

Raw Silk Jackets
Authentically Australian, Naturally Inspired and Hand Crafted for the Absolute Individualist.
We are world famous for our Handwoven Raw Silk Jackets, inspired by the magnificent colours and textures that surround us. From the Black Opal to iconic landmarks such as Uluru, the beauty of Australia is woven into every fabric, each with a story to tell. No two textiles are ever the same, just like our clients. That’s what makes Joe Bananas so unique.
The silk is procured, hand spun, hand dyed and woven by hand in-house at Joe Bananas. On average it takes anywhere between 200-300 days of hand weaving on the loom to create a single tapestry, producing a limited yield of 25-35 yards, which in turn allows for an incredibly limited run (approx. seven to eight) to be tailored from each individual weave.
