North Beach Leather mens' jeans sell for $105


These size 32 mens' North Beach Leather jeans sold for a deserving $104.84. The style, quality and condition looks excellent! Even though they're my size, I wouldn't have wanted to spend this much.

And the tag would indicate their a newer NBL product.

Unusual vintage Biondini boots


I guess it should come as a surprise that these unusual vintage Biondini OTK boots sold for a very impressive $223.58, even in a small size 6.5. Although the red striping does nothing for me, these boots look very well made and the Biondini name obviously has lots of fans, including me!


North Beach Leather military style dress


This red hot North Beach Leather military style dress sold for a deserving $226.15. This size small dress looks great on the model. Even though I have a weakness for redheads, I think this would have looked better on a blonde or brunette model.

North Beach Leather trench still sells well


It's very nice to see that a classic North Beach Leather trench coat can still fetch a decent price on eBay.

The buyer originally listed this for $99.99 with a Buy It Now price of $138, and then raised the BIN price up to $148, maybe to cover free shipping. This beautiful size 5/6 coat ended up selling for $132.50. It appears to be identical to the size 8 NBL trench I own.

Interesting that the seller is from Las Vegas, as the climate there doesn't seem very conducive to wearing a leather trench coat.

Classic North Beach Leather dress sells for what?!


Someone got a GREAT deal on this classic North Beach Leather dress for only $52.08. Even though it was a size XS, I think it has great resale value. I was going to place a bid and then forgot!

And you have to appreciate the seller's text:

THE FULL LENGTH ZIPPER HAS A CLASSY HARDWARE PULL ON BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM THE WILL LET THE WEARER OR ADMIRER ADJUST THE ZIPPERS AS NECESSARY OR DESIRED.

GREAT FOR WINTER WEAR WITH BOOTS, ETC.

THIS COAT IS MADE FOR A WOMAN WHO IS WILLING TO DRESS FOR THAT SPECIAL MAN

Great for high heeled boots especially with long, thigh high or crotch high boots. All things considered a daring outfit that will command many looks, much admiration, etc.

BUYER NEEDS A GOOD FIT FOR THIS COAT DRESS TO REALLY WORK. IF THE FIT IS GOOD, THE WEARER WILL BE IRRESISTABLE.

Flat-heeled OTK boots continue to sell very well

Flat-heeled OTK boots continue to sell very well on eBay.

These Nordstrom boots, made in Italy, are pretty close to my ideal pair of flat-heeled OTK boots. Nice height of 26 inches, good heels, great leather quality, and good cuffability.

These size 7 boots sold for an impressive $142.50.

Vintage G-III black leather dress - very cool, but very overpriced





The style of this vintage G-III black leather dress, especially the funnel collar, is awesome, but I couldn't justify the $328 Buy It Now price. Apparently, neither could anyone else, as it didn't sell.

North Beach Leather dresses

eBay leather seller jillb-- is back and selling some hot North Beach Leather dresses again.

Someone got a deal on this classic North Beach Leather black dress for only $86.75, especially since the seller had a Buy It Now option of $199.99. Although no size was listed, the measurements would indicate a size small.


On the other hand, she sold this rare green motorcycle-style NBL dress, also a size small, for an impressive $230.27.

High-quality long leather opera gloves sell well

With so many lesser quality long leather gloves on eBay, it's nice to see the higher-quality gloves sell well.

These Italian Marciano 22" long leather gloves in a size medium sold for $99.99, not too far below their original retail of $129.99.

The same seller sold these Ines cashmere-lined 19" long leather gloves in a size 7.5 for a very impressive $278.99, which is quite possibly more than their original retail price.

And another eBay glove seller who sells some very nice high-end leather gloves sold these silk-lined Lauren Urstadt 23.75" long leather gloves in a size 7.5 for an impressive $167.77.

Nice model in thigh-high boots



Can't say that the leopard dress appeals to me, but the black-and-white one does, and anything modeled with black leather thigh-high boots definitely gets my attention!

Coach "Allyson" boots - good modeling, bad bidding


Nice to see the Coach "Allyson" boots modeled but disappointing to see that these size 7.5 new without box pair only got up to $109.57 in bidding without a winner. Obviously, the Buy It Now price of $400 was way too high.

Chap boots still sell well


Although the seller listed these as "buckle boots" instead of chap boots, these still sold for $222.50! Although the seller couldn't even list the exact size, somewhere around a 7-8, I'm sure the nice modeling helped the sale.

Vintage Clicks thigh boots




These vintage Clicks thigh-high boots look like some I sold on eBay a few years ago - only modeled much better here. Although I'm not a fan of the elastic bands along the shaft, they look great worn over black skinny jeans. These size 7.5 boots sold for an impressive $153.50.

Sexy Steve Madden thigh boots sell well


These sexy size 8.5 Steve Madden thigh-high boots sold for an impressive $202.50. I'm pretty sure these were the same boots I saw an attractive young woman wearing at Pizza Hut (yes, Pizza Hut!) over Christmas vacation a few years ago. I also think these were the same I saw a young Asian woman trying on at the Steve Madden store in St. Louis last year.
