A £6,000 designer suit created by the Queen’s former dressmaker is on sale for a fraction of its original price after it was donated to a Southfields charity shop.

The creation by Hardy Amies – a size 14 green two-piece, originally worth £6,000 – is displayed in Oxfam’s shop window, in Replingham Road, and is on sale for £150.

Corinne Bailey, Oxfam charity shop manager, said: “We have had loads of people coming in to look at the suit.

"Quite a few people have tried it on but it didn’t fit.”

Hardy Amies is a fashion house based in Savile Row set up by English dressmaker Sir Edwin Hardy Amies in 1946.

Within a decade he was appointed as the Queen’s official dressmaker in 1955, a role he fulfilled until 1990.

Sir Hardy, knighted in 1989 for his work, also designed costumes for films, including Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The suit’s appearance in the shop’s window has fueled speculation of a generous actress who has been donating her expensive wardrobe to the borough’s charity shops.

Last year the Wandsworth Guardian revealed how an unnamed celebrity had been donating her designer cast-offs to Trinity Hospice.

This is not the first unusual item put on sale at the Oxfam shop in Southfields.

In February this year, the Wandsworth Guardian revealed how two 19th century bibles dating back to the 1870s were donated to the same branch.

Staff at the shop said other unusual items dropped off for donation include Jimmy Choo shoes, a Mulberry bag and a book titled The Wild Chorus that is expected to raise £100 at Bonhams.
