Raw Silk Jacket Inspiration

Taipans are considered some of the most deadly known snakes. They are large, fast-moving, highly venomous, and endemic to Australasia (of course they are) - but such is the price Australians pay for living in such a majestically beautiful country. All is fair in love and war.

Whilst the 'Desert Taipan' Raw Silk Jacket is certainly comparable in beauty to Australia, it is dangerous in very different ways. The intricate stepweave of steel blue, sand and black silk mimic the scales and environment of the Desert Taipan. Well paired with a collared shirt and trousers for a formal look, or a plain t-shirt and denim for a more relaxed style. It is a knockout look no matter which way you slice it.
