He King Charles III He is recognized as the most ecological monarch in the United Kingdom, since he has never hidden his love for nature. At the age of 73, he is constantly working in favor of the environment through ecology, reports National Geographic.

The same thought brings him to the fashion industry, and this is exactly the reason why he has been wearing the same impeccable tailor-made suits for years.

King Charles III ordered the production of a kimono with curtains for Isabella II

This way of looking at the world was what led him to act in favor of sustainability the day he found ancient fabrics that had previously clothed the private rooms of the royal family during reign of Elizabeth II., at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. Well, they were stored and unused for a long time.

With the intention of giving them a second life, the monarch demanded that they be catalogued, cleaned and treated. 50 meters of these luxurious fabrics have regained their luster, so the Carlos III Foundation decided to deliver them in early 2022 to art students at The King’s Foundation, who eventually turned them into a beautiful kimono.

The foundation’s director, Jacqueline Ferrell, said, according to Vanity Fair, that it felt “like Christmas morning” when she opened up and discovered the actual curtain looms used between 1950 and 1990. She added that students could transform turning these traditional fabrics into contemporary and attractive designs “was a real challenge,” but “they created unique, truly versatile garments that reflect a piece of history.”

In total seven universal kimonos were made; four long and three short, in which the students invested between 8 and 10 hours of work. Those interested can buy these costumes at an auction organized by the King Charles III Foundation before Christmas. The auction will run until Friday, with prices already ranging between £800 and £1,510, the equivalent of $1,007 to $1,901.
