Princess Diana's Black Sheep Sweater Sells for Over $1 Million

Article about it selling in Sotheby's auction for over $1 million!
Nice interview with the women who created the sweater.

 

Yikes. Hard to believe. Who has that kind of money to spend?

 

I can make anyone who wants one a replica for 1.1 million :D

 

Every sweater had a black sheep - but it moved around. I know two people who have this sweater, but one has the black sheep on the arm, and the other one is on the left breast.

 

Yes! I hadn't realized that previously, but at the beginning of the video (in the article) three different colors of this sweater are shown and you can see the varied placement.

 

I had read somewhere (but don't remember where) that they retired the black sheep from the location on Diana's sweater.

 

What I love about this story is that the damaged jumper - showing evidence of wear and use - is likely worth more than the replacement, presumably undamaged one. Good thing the designer kept it all these years!

LeSportsac has done a whole line on the black sheep, it's called Diana. Seems the large tote is the only one still available, I imagine the collab sold out mostly.
