Raw Silk Jacket Inspiration

Boulder Opal is unique to western Queensland, Australia. It is found attached to a host rock of ironstone, and occurs in deposits in weathered sedimentary Cretaceous rocks.

The 'Boulder Opal' Raw Silk jacket is an opulent mix of the cool tones of the opal gemstone, using the blues and green silks in the weave. Like all of our raw silk jackets, the charm is in the surprising details of this luxurious textile. With such a beautiful finish, this jacket can easily transition across the seasons and be worn on any occasion.
