Two royal Christmas sweaters were made by London-based Notjust Clothing, and they’re sure to please any royal lovers on your list this year.
The socially minded retailer’s 2022 Christmas collection include two British-made items: a commemorative Queen Elizabeth II style ($44) and a holiday-themed take on Princess Diana‘s famous black sheep sweater ($44).
The black sweater honoring the late monarch features a white illustration of a young Queen Elizabeth wearing her tiara along with a snowflake pattern and the words “Merry Christmas.”
On the back, the design says “1926 – 2022” above a festive Corgi wearing a Christmas hat and the message “Thank you for everything Ma’am.”
For Diana fans, Notjust has taken the late Princess of Wales’ famous black sheep sweater and given it a Christmas look, replacing the sheep with holiday reindeer — and of course, like the princess’ design, one of them stands out in bold black amongst a parade of white reindeer.
The sweaters are crafted from acrylic yarn made from recycled waste and, according to the brand, half of proceeds will go to youth sports charities Football Beyond Borders and Bloomsbury Football.
A representative for the brand — which has raised more than $100,000 for charity since 2017 — said Notjust chose to help organizations that “use the power of football to change the lives of young people” amid this year’s World Cup.
Princess Diana famously rocked her black sheep sweater to several polo matches in the early 1980s, causing women around the world to rush to copy the playful look.
The style has remained so popular over the years that in 2020, Warm & Wonderful re-released the iconic sweater ($295) in its original red, along with pink, baby blue and green shades.
While neither Princess Diana or Queen Elizabeth are with us this holiday season, fans can represent the late royals at their celebrations.
