Vintage Wild Pair black leather thigh boots


Some lucky bidder got a good deal on these "never worn outside" Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots for only $67.99. These size 8.5 boots feature some sexy spiked heels.

Seller with excellent taste in leather


Love the styling of this vintage Vakko black leather military-style jacket! I especially like the double-breasted styling, epaulets, and belted look.

Someone got a good deal on this nicely modeled jacket for only $34.33. Given the rarity and mint condition of this item, I'm actually surprised it didn't sell for more, especially with military-styled jackets being so trendy right now.

The same seller sold these North Beach Leather rear-zip cigarette pants (size 5/6) very nicely modeled and tucked into boots for $67.77. Never mind that they would make a great "leather suit" look paired with the above jacket!



And she sold these size 4 North Beach Leather rear-zip cigarette pants (size 4) for $56.00.



Finally, she sold this Chanel-style black leather jacket by North Beach Leather (size 5/6) for $50.00. Another great "leather suit" look paired with black leather pants!

Vintage Italian leather jumpsuit sells well



This vintage black Italian leather jumpsuit sold for an impressive $178.03. The listing appropriately included the words "cat suit," "Avengers," and "rocker." Although I'm not a fan of the snap-off sleeves, it would have been nice to see this size medium jumpsuit on a model.

Vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch boots


These vintage Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots, which the seller accurately described as "hip high" sold for a respectable best offer of $215. While the shafts of these size 8.5 boots were in very good condition, the heels had several nicks and the soles showed some wear. At peak selling season during the holidays, I've seen these boots sell for as much as $400-$500. These rarely appear on eBay, and when they do, especially in a popular larger size, they still sell very well.

What's interesting is that around the same time, the same boots in the same size 8.5, only modeled, sold for only $134.31. It's hard to tell from the one photo what shape they're in, but someone got a much better deal on the exact same boots!

Vintage North Beach Leather military dress


eBay leather seller "leatherfashions" sold this vintage North Beach Leather military-style dress in a classic blue for a very deserving $239.15. This size small dress appears to be in mint condition and, as all auctions by this seller, is very nicely modeled.

Red North Beach Leather military style dress




This vintage 1980s red North Beach Leather military style dress sold for a very impressive $350.99. Although no size was listed, the dress was nicely modeled.

Stunning North Beach Leather biker dress





This stunning North Beach Leather dress in a rare biker style sold for a deserving $265.00, even in a size small.

Although I would prefer black zippers, the silver zipper details definitely give it an edgier look. The epaulets, shoulder pads, studs and belt are great style additions to an already incredibly sexy dress.

Short black leather jumpsuit, nicely modeled




This vintage 1980s short black leather jumpsuit by CHIA was new with tags and sold for $76.00. This size small jumpsuit is modeled very nicely with dark hose and a sexy fedora. It would look even better paired with some sexy matching OTK black leather boots!

Vintage brown leather jumpsuit sells for $30+!



This vintage 1980s brown leather jumpsuit sold for a very impressive $430.88. While I'm not a fan of the pouf shoulders, I like the cut and the fact that the zippers (and there are several) match the leather color very well. Even though the jumpsuit was listed as a size S-M, the elastic waist allows for some flexibility in the fit.

Fitted Danier leather dress sells well


eBay leather seller "leatherbill" sold this fitted black leather dress for an impressive $144.50. This size large dress is from Canadian leather maker Danier and reminds me of the Ambria leather dress Spiegel sold in the 1980s, only this one has belt loops.

I especially like the modeling as the dress looks stunning paired with a black beret, short black leather gloves, and matching black leather boots.

Rare North Beach Leather jumpsuit sells for $375



Although listed with a Buy It Now price of $499, someone snapped up this rare North Beach Leather jumpsuit in a size M/L with a Best Offer of $375. Although the purple is nice, had this been in black, I would have been very interested, especially in this size offering. Although I prefer jumpsuits more fitted (like a catsuit), this one has nice draping. I also like the wide leather sash belt.

A great vintage North Beach Leather piece!
