A red sweater adorned with a flock of sheep worn by Princess Diana is expected to sell for more than $50,000 at auction
The playfully patterned wool jumper featuring a single black sheep amid a pattern of white ones headlines Sotheby's online Fashion Icons sale in September. A few weeks later, Muir and Osborne received an official letter from Buckingham Palace explaining that Diana had damaged the sweater and asking whether it could be repaired or replaced. The original was returned, showing damage to a sleeve the designers thought might have been caused by snagging on Diana's diamond and sapphire engagement ring.
Warm & Wonderful still makes a cotton version of the design, which sells for 190 pounds . Osborne discovered the original lying forgotten in a box in an attic earlier this year.
