The most expensive Christmas sweater in the world took about 3 thousand hours to build, with its designer investing over 9 thousand dollars in materials.
It was finally sold for 36 thousand euros.
"It's a real work of art. I had a vision in my mind and I made it come true.
"I wanted to create something beautiful and impressive," Aidan Liban told the British newspaper Mirror. According to the eccentric British fashion designer, the sweater is too delicate to wash.
Knitting from wool, cotton and silk yarns is like a soft "kitten", Aidan explains.

The most expensive Christmas sweater in the world will also have a charitable utility.
The designer intends to give part of the money to the British national health system, whose doctors are at the forefront of the fight against the coronavirus.
The previous record for the sale of sweaters in 2016, the "ugly jersey" of the company Tipsy Elves brand, was at 31.700 US dollars.
As for the most expensive knit in history, this is the cardigan worn by Nirvana singer Kert Cobain at MTV Unplugged.
