Alaia black leather gauntlet gloves

These rare Alaia black leather gauntlet gloves sold for an impressive $305.00.  They used gloves were a size 7.5.  They remind me of something a super heroine or villain would wear.









I've wanted some leather gauntlet gloves for a long time, but this style doesn't quite do it for me.

NIB Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots sell for $670!

These size 8.5 Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" black leather OTK boots received 24 bids and sold for a whopping $670, more than the original $650 retail.  My guess is because these boots were 1) a very popular size, 2) new with the original box, 3) no longer made by Stuart Weitzman, and 4) a rare combination of all of the above.













I do take a little offense that the seller listed the original retail on these at $938, considerably higher than I've ever seen these sell for at full retail.

Vintage North Beach Leather biker trench coat






This vintage 1980s North Beach Leather coat features a nice mix of biker and trench styling.  This size XS coat sold for $63.37.  I especially like the black zippers and the tall stand-up collar.  Nice modeling, too!


A rare appearance by Classic Leatherwear gloves






Even without good pictures, these rare Classic Leatherwear black leather opera gloves sold for a very impressive $255.01.   These gloves were extra long at 28.5" as well as a popular size 8.

Vintage 1980s Italian OTK boots by Mary Popps








These vintage 1980s Italian black leather over-the-knee boots by Mary Popps sold for a very impressive $237.50, especially in a small size 6.5  I'm not so sure about the red piping but I really like the 30" height, nice cuffs, straight lines, and sexy spiked heels.

I think these fetched such a high price because these boots very rarely appear on eBay.  They also appear to be in excellent condition!

A real deal on vintage Wild Pair crotch-high boots

Even with $20 shipping, someone got an incredible deal on these vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots for only $53!  These size 6.5 boots appear to be in excellent condition.  The seller said that were circa 1984, which is the first time I've seen a year attached to these boots.

I also enjoyed the seller's text: Slip your feet into these boots and drive your man crazy!









Carolina Amato black leather opera gloves

For $81.55, someone got a good deal on these Carolina Amato black leather opera gloves offered by eBay glove seller "junkonsale."  These size 7.5 gloves are silk-lined and with the exception of missing one button, appear to be in mint condition.  The seller estimated these to be from the late 1980s - early 1990s.




Vintage North Beach Leather trench sells well

This vintage North Beach Leather trench coat didn't sell in its original listing with a starting bid of $250 and a Buy It Now price of $275.  However, when the seller re-listed the coat, it ended up selling for $210.  Even in a small size 5/6, it's hard to go wrong with a North Beach Leather trench coat, especially one in what appears to be excellent condition.
