Princess Diana's iconic 1981 black sheep sweater, made by Warm & Wonderful, has sold at auction for more than $1 million.
Diana first wore the sweater publicly at a polo match in June 1981, a month before her wedding to Charles.
Together with the item, Sotheby's included in the auction the thank you notes that Diana's private secretary, Oliver Everett, addressed to Warm& Wonderful sent a replacement that Diana wore in 1983 to another polo match, slightly more fitted and this time styled with straight white pants, a wide white collar and a black bow.& Wonderful said they thought they had repaired the original Diana sweater and sent it to a customer amid huge demand for the style.
Muir and Osborne said that with Sotheby's help, the piece was eventually authenticated as Diana's original sweater, and the garment was put up for auction. "Since stumbling upon the sweater in March of this year, we have been reliving the fond memories of Princess Diana appearing on the front pages of every newspaper in 1981, wearing our very own sweater," the Warm
& Wonderful co-founders shared on Thursday after the sale. "While we are forever indebted to her for the impact this had on our business, our deepest appreciation lies in the knowledge that she shared a unique connection to the black sheep design. We are thrilled that this cherished sweater has now found a new home, carrying with it the enduring legacy of Princess Diana."
