Raw Silk Jacket Inspiration

Well, there's no hiding in this jacket - and why would you want to! Resplendent in colour, texture and vibe, the 'Tully Banana' Raw Silk Jacket is a new firm favourite in the Joe Bananas collection.

Rich in colour and surprising in detail, this jacket is the gift that keeps on giving. Whilst there's clear inspiration from the banana fruit and tree itself - the true joy is in the name: Tully Banana. Some might assume it's simply a cheeky nod to Harry Belafonte's lyric 'tally me banana', but the meaning runs a little deeper for us. Tully is actually a former sister brand to the Joe Bananas family. Operating in the 80s and 90s, Tully was a successful extension of Joe Bananas, offering cult classics. Whilst she may not be trading these days, her spirit is very much alive in this fantastically joyful jacket.
