NORTH HEAD SANDSTONE
There’s something timeless about North Head — where Sydney Harbour meets the open sea, and sandstone cliffs catch the morning light in soft golds and warm neutrals. We’ve bottled that feeling in the North Head Sandstone Raw Silk Jacket.
Hand-woven in our signature sandstone weave, blending raw silk yarns in shades of cream, fawn and honey over black, this jacket captures the rugged beauty of Sydney’s coastline with a refined, natural elegance. Like the cliffs themselves — shaped by time, wind, and the force of nature (and even standing strong through the 2016 rockslide) — it’s a reminder that true strength is built on character..
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.
