Raw Silk Jacket Inspiration

Agate is a cryptocrystalline variety of silica, characterised by its fineness of grain and brightness of colour. Although agates may be found in various kinds of rock, they are classically associated with volcanic rocks and can be common in certain metamorphic rocks.

Drawing its inspiration from the Australian Agate gemstone, the 'Agate Shot' Raw Silk Jacket emulates the opulent tones and banding that is so characteristic of its namesake. The subtlety of detail and unique reflective nature of this weave only adds to its magnificence. This jacket will always be the star attraction of any occasion.
