Princess Diana’s ‘black sheep’ jumper to be auctioned
LONDON: A jumper worn by Britain’s late Princess Diana and depicting a black sheep is headed for auction later this summer with a price estimate of up to $80,000.
Designed by knitwear label Warm & Wonderful, the sweater, which will headline Sotheby’s Fashion Icons Aug 31-Sept. 14 online sale, was rediscovered in an attic earlier this year by one of the brand’s founders.
Diana first wore the red jumper, which depicts a lone black sheep among rows of white sheep, to watch then Prince Charles play in a polo game in June 1981, a month before they were married, sparking speculation over its potential significance.
