BLACK OPAL STRATA – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket

A Celebration of Colour. A Signature of Style.

The Opal is Australia’s national gemstone, and none are more breathtaking than the Black Opal—the rarest, most valuable of them all. With its dark body tone, ranging from deep grey to jet black, this legendary stone serves as the perfect canvas for an explosion of light and colour, shifting and shimmering depending on the conditions in which it formed.

With a bountiful mix of colours woven into a striking rainbow spectrum, this piece is alive with movement, energy, and pure festive spirit. The moment you slip it on, it’s impossible not to embody the joy and celebration it represents.

Whether dressing up for an elegant evening or embracing a casual, statement-making ensemble, this jacket is ready for any outfit, any occasion, at any time of the day.
