AUSTRALIAN HONEY BEE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket

Nature’s Architects. Woven in Gold.

Australia is home to over 1,500 species of native bees, each playing a crucial role in pollination and ensuring the survival of the unique plant life that makes Australia’s landscapes so remarkable. Unlike their European counterparts, many Australian Honey Bees are stingless, and while their honey may not be abundant, their impact on our ecosystem is immeasurable.

The Australian Honey Bee Raw Silk Jacket is a tribute to these tireless workers, featuring the Joe Bananas signature weave, where alternating lateral and vertical golden and cream knotted silk bows mimic the natural swarming movement of bees within their hive. The result is a rich, textured weave that radiates warmth and understated opulence—a jacket quite literally clad in luxury.

HOW TO WEAR IT

Dress It Up – Pair this golden masterpiece with a crisp white or cream shirt and tailored trousers for a look that exudes sophistication.
Dress It Down – Style it with earthy chinos or dark denim and a relaxed linen shirt to bring effortless refinement to a casual setting.
