Long leather opera gloves continue to sell well

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these NWOT Cache long black lambskin leather opera gloves for their starting bid of $134.99. These gloves were a size medium and 23" long.


The same seller also sold these Carolina Amato leather opera gloves in a rare navy blue for their starting bid of $164.99. These gloves were a size 7.5 and 23 1/2" long.


On the same evening, a glove seller in Montreal sold these very nice Damco black lambskin leather opera gloves for $89.99. These were a size 8 and measured 24" long. I really wanted to bid on these beautiful gloves, but the $24.99 shipping from Canada was too much.

Vintage OTK tan leather boots by Jasmin


More very nice modeling and another low selling price, as these size 7.5 vintage tan leather OTK boots sold for only $51.00.

These Jasmin boots look absolutely incredible paired with skinny jeans. Although I'm not a fan of the tie detail on the back, I especially like the clean straight lines, spiky heels, and cuffability. If these had been in my size, I would have bid on them!

Surprisingly low vintage Zodiac OTK boot sale


Even with some very nice modeling, these vintage size 7.5 Zodiac OTK boots only sold for $67.00.

Vintage OTK Italian stacked heel boots


It's no surprise that these vintage 1970s stacked heel OTK boots were a successful auction for eBay boot seller "nunya-bidness." These size 7 Italian-made burgundy boots by Carrano sold for a very impressive $165.50!

They appear to be in very good condition for such vintage boots and with the stitching detail and cuffability, it's no wonder these sold well. Of course, it goes without saying that these would look fabulous worn with a pair of skinny jeans tucked into them.

A deal on sexy Miss Sixty boots



For $53.99, someone got a deal on some very sexy Miss Sixty OTK boots in a popular size 40.
I especially like the clean, straight lines of the shaft, the pointy toes, and the stiletto heels.

Studded Wild Pair boots and some very nice modeling

With some very nice modeling, these Wild Pair studded black leather thigh-high boots in a popular size 10 sold for a deserving $117.50.


The same seller (and model) only got $49.99 for these size 40 black leather thigh-high boots by Aurora. I don't like these boots as much, but the modeling is once again very nice.

Nice modeling and a variety of leather

eBay seller "leather_doll" is back with some fine modeling and what appears to be a new "office" setting.

With the military look so popular this season, I cannot believe this size 10 leather jacket by Genel London only sold for $12.00. Now, I wish I would have bid on it!


However, this North Beach Leather crop jacket (size 7/8) sold for an impressive $78.77. It looks great paired with the leather skirt and spiky OTK boots.


Someone got a deal on this buttery soft Vakko forest green leather blazer (size 8) for only $21.50. Once again, a great look paired with the leather skirt and OTK boots.


This shiny patent jacket (size XL) made by Steilmann Germany sold for an impressive $81.00. I'm more of a purist when it comes to leather (I like mine real, high-quality and buttery soft) but I know the shiny PVC look is appealing to others as well.

Very impressive price for Doncaster leather opera gloves



Another high-end long black leather glove offering from "junkonsale," these NWT size large (8) Doncaster gloves sold for a very deserving $208.18. These gloves measure an impressive 23 3/4" long. Once again, the 3-point stitching detail is very nice.

Original retail on these stunning gloves (circa 2008) was $275.00.

Long black leather gloves continue to sell well

These NWT Nordstrom long black leather opera gloves from a past season (2008?) sold for a respectable $80.00, especially considering they were a size small.


These Italian-made Holt Renfrew black leather opera gloves sold for an impressive $130.27. They were a popular size 7.5, silk-lined, and measured 20" long. The seller said original retail was $180.00. I especially like the three rows of stitching detail on the back of the hand, although I wish the seller would have provided some more photos of these very nice gloves.

Another pair of high-end black leather opera gloves





Some lucky bidder got a pair of high-end black lambskin leather opera gloves by Lauren Urstadt for $106.57. These gloves were a very attractive size 8 and measured 23 1/8" long. The gathering at the wrists reminds me of the Classic Leatherwear detailing.

Kudos to glove seller "junkonsale" for offering another pair of fine long leather gloves and very nice photos to match!

Rare Biondini black leather chap boots




As someone who has always wanted to own a pair of Biondini boots, I originally thought I wanted these, especially when I saw they were close to my size (39). However, when the seller later added more photos of the actual "chap" detail, I decided that there was too much going on and I'd really prefer basic Biondini thigh-high boots. Besides, I've tried chap boots before and am not leggy enough to pull of the look.

These boots measure a whopping 35" tall and if the studded chaps weren't sexy enough, also feature gold metal spiked heels. They sold for $170.00.

Rare style North Beach Leather dress



Even in a size small, this rare style of vintage North Beach Leather dress sold for its starting bid of $225.00.

The dress actually zips from the high neck all the way down the left sleeve. I especially like how the high neck style lends itself to being worn like a turtleneck, cowl, or split collar.

Carolina Amato black leather opera gloves


Without a doubt, some of the nicest leather opera gloves I've seen on eBay, these new-without-tags Carolina Amato size 8 gloves sold for a very deserving $212.49.

Town & Country OTK boots still sell well


It's nice to see that the vintage 1980s Town & Country OTK boots still have selling power on eBay. These size 8 boots sold for $102.00.

Even though the seller measured these at 26" tall, they're an identical, but shorter, version of the Wild Pair black leather crotch boots.

Kudos to the seller for some great modeling!

Rock and roll OTK boots by Marc Jacobs


These size 7.5 Marc by Marc Jacobs over-the-knee boots sold for $137.50 - a deal considering the seller said she originally paid $800 for them and they were worn once.

The studded straps gives them a great "rock and roll" look. In my mind, some of the perfect "rock concert" boots which would look stunning paired with a tight black leather jacket and skinny jeans.
