GALAH PAPERBARK
This week we're featuring a rare offer on our Galah Paperbark Raw Silk Jacket, inspired by Australia's iconic Galah—native to Australia and cheeky as they come.
Where I’m from, calling someone a "Galah" means they're a bit of a silly bugger, but those who take up this sneaky offer are striking to observe. Like the Galah, their undeniably inconspicuous colour reflects an attitude that makes them so special. They are not afraid to be seen.
The compliments a piece like this brings, will not only take you into any situation with strength and sophistication, but also ensure your arrival in the room will be noted.
Employing a combination of raw and refined silk yarns, this weave is among the lightest weight in the collection. Featherweight, one might say.
Fortune favours the brave, so don't hold back!

Raw Silk Jackets
Authentically Australian, Naturally Inspired and Hand Crafted for the Absolute Individualist.
We are world famous for our Handwoven Raw Silk Jackets, inspired by the magnificent colours and textures that surround us. From the Black Opal to iconic landmarks such as Uluru, the beauty of Australia is woven into every fabric, each with a story to tell. No two textiles are ever the same, just like our clients. That’s what makes Joe Bananas so unique.
The silk is procured, hand spun, hand dyed and woven by hand in-house at Joe Bananas. On average it takes anywhere between 200-300 days of hand weaving on the loom to create a single tapestry, producing a limited yield of 25-35 yards, which in turn allows for an incredibly limited run (approx. seven to eight) to be tailored from each individual weave.
