Iron Ore Landscape
Inspired by Fred Williams' Iron Ore Landscape, this handwoven silk jacket embodies the rugged, untamed beauty of the Australian outback, where the land is etched with deep ochres, rusty browns, and rich, earthy tones. Just as Williams' brushstrokes captured the essence of the iron-rich terrain, this intricately woven textile translates that artistry into a striking, wearable form.
The Iron Ore Landscape Raw Silk Jacket is more than just clothing—it is a masterful fusion of art and craftsmanship. The textured silk weave mimics the layered depth of the outback, creating a visual and tactile experience that mirrors the land’s rugged contours. A bold yet sophisticated piece, it pays homage to Australia’s vast, ancient terrain and the raw power of its mineral-rich landscapes.
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.
