Raw Silk Jacket Inspiration

Canola was developed through conventional plant breeding from rapeseed, an oilseed plant already used in ancient civilisation as a fuel. Brassica oilseed varieties are some of the oldest plants cultivated by humanity, with documentation of its use in India 4,000 years ago, and use in China and Japan 2,000 years ago.

Inspired by these ancient crops, the 'Canola Fields' Raw Silk Jacket mirrors the rows of canola with its linear weave. A refreshing mix of greens, tan, cream and yellow silk are interweaved to create this luxurious textile. Certain to enliven any outfit, this jacket is meant to be worn with spirit.
