INSPIRATION:

MILKY OPAL – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket

A Vivid Display of Colour, Inspired by One of Coober Pedy’s Rarest Treasures.

The Milky Opal is one of Coober Pedy’s finest white opals, renowned for its opaque base and mesmerising surface play-of-colour. Unlike its darker cousins, the Milky Opal reveals its brilliance only on the surface, with flashes of reds, blues, greens, and yellows shifting in the light—a truly dazzling spectacle in nature.

The Milky Opal Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket brings this radiance to life, weaving a boundless array of colour into a mid-season weight silk textile. Perfect for cooler weather, yet breathable enough for warmer days, this full-weight silk jacket delivers warmth without bulk, structure without restriction, and colour without limits.

HOW TO WEAR IT

Dress It Up – Pair with deep navy trousers, a bold red or royal blue dress shirt, and polished black leather shoes for a striking formal statement.
Dress It Down – Soften the look with teal chinos, a crisp white tee, and suede loafers, embracing a more relaxed yet refined aesthetic.
Make It Iconic – A monochrome black ensemble underneath allows the Milky Opal jacket to shine at full intensity.
