The iconic red sweater vest in the color 'Diana Red' is available to buy from Rowing Blazers Warm & Wonderful range.

This thick and luxurious knitted vest retails at £240 but is worth every penny as the brand explains that each item is handmade and therefore totally unique.

Rowing Blazers also spoke about Diana's influence on their clothing line and this design in particular. "Warm & Wonderful was founded by Joanna Osborne and Sally Muir, who created the original sheep sweater in 1979."

"They shot to fame when a young Princess Diana began wearing their iconic design. it's been copied many times, but this is the original, iconic sheep sweater made in partnership with Joanna and Sally to the same specifications as those famously worn by the Princess of Wales."
