The future Princess of Wales first wore the casual knit sweater to a polo match in 1981 during her engagement to the now King Charles III.

“Carefully dissecting the sweater’s symbolism and why it resonated with Diana so deeply, the sweater ignited conversations amongst global media, fashion critics, and of course, the general public,” the auction house’s description states.

Before the auction, the sweater was expected to sell for between $50,000 and $80,000, but after 44 bids, the price reached 14 times higher, according to Sotheby’s.
