A woman was left “buzzing” after The Crown bought a costume from her home vintage shop.

Leyna Rafferty, owner of Violet Vintage, can’t wait to see if her stock will appear on the popular Netflix show next year.

The khaki blazer and pencil skirt was flogged for just £36 on Etsy this month and was sent express delivery to Elstree Studios in Borehamwood.

It comes as the hit TV show is filming its sixth and final season at the location, which is understood to be covering the late 1990s to the early 2000s, focusing on The Queen's dealings with PM Tony Blair.

Now the 32-year-old business owner, from Hamilton, said the sale to the costume department was “a dream come true” and hopes to see 'The Queen’ or ‘Princess Anne’ put on the outfit.

Speaking to the Glasgow Times, she said: “I‘m buzzing. It was so exciting because I love The Crown.

“I got into the show because I love fashion and was more interested in the costumes than the actual plot.

“It will be a dream come true to see an item I repaired and sold appear on screen.

“I originally got it at a church market stall in Motherwell and had to hand-fix the hem.

“I think the outfit is very Balmoral looking. It is an outdoorsy modest look, I can see Princess Anne or The Queen wearing it.

“The full point in selling vintage is so items can get a second chance and this is the best second life for the skirt suit.

“Royal fashion is so interesting whether you care about the family or not, because they have the biggest budget to spend on clothes.”

Leyna launched her shop online after being made redundant following the coronavirus pandemic.

She had been working in the travel industry and decided to pursue her life-long goal of working with fashion.

This spring she launched an online shop full-time during the cost-of-living crisis, but has kept her sales steady as people want “something interesting that will last”.

Leyna said: “My shop is my dream. I have always loved clothes since I was really young.

“I studied fashion at university but after graduating I slowly became disillusioned by the industry.

“I had [a lot of] terrible store cards and didn’t want to help push massive consumption.

“With vintage clothes it feels different because it is one-off-pieces that last so much longer.

“I started doing this full-time during the cost-of-living crisis, but I am still making sales because I think there is a big move away from fast fashion right now.

“People want things that will last and are a bit more interesting and sustainable.

“I think what is really exciting for me is that you can wear vintage clothing anywhere.

“I would have worn the suit to work or out to drinks but then a Royal character from the 90s can wear it in a TV drama.”

Leyna hopes to open a new space in Glasgow later this year but is currently available on Etsy and Instagram at instagram.com/violetvintagegb.
