A deal on vintage black leather thigh boots with metal heels

Although I put in a decent bid, someone got a deal on these vintage black leather thigh boots with sexy metal stiletto heels for $87.07.  The bidding on these size 8 boots started at $79.  These appear to be in excellent, very lightly worn condition.

These sexy boots measure an impressive 28" high with a 4.5" heel.  Probably tricky to walk in, but I bet the sound they make on a hard surface is very impressive!

These remind me of vintage Frederick's of Hollywood boots from the early 1990s.

A UK seller models some very nice black leather thigh-high boots

UK boot seller "br0nn1e" sold these nicely modeled size 39.5 French designer (Gaborit?) black leather thigh-high boots for $156.74.  These boots featured an impressive 4.5" stiletto heel and an overall 28" height.  The seller stated that they'd been worn inside only a couple of times.  If international shipping hadn't been a pricey $46, I would have been very tempted by these beautiful boots!









North Beach Leather black leather military dress sells well

This North Beach Leather dress in a classic military style sold for a very deserving $232.50.  A size small, the dress appears to be in mint condition and a rare offering in classic black leather.

Between the gold piping, the epaulets, the double row of gold buttons down the front, and the detail on the back, this dress is exquisite!

Beautiful vintage OTK boots from Amsterdam sell very well

A seller in Amsterdam got a very deserving $183.50 for these beautiful vintage dark brown leather over-the-knee boots.  International shipping was even a reasonable $20.00.

With the narrow stacked heel and straight shaft, the style of these boots is timeless.  Even better, they were a popular size EU 41 (US 10).  In fact, they look so dark in the photos, I originally thought they were black.  Of course, these would look amazing worn over skinny jeans.

The seller stated that they came from a vintage store in Amsterdam, and given that city's history, you have to wonder if these boots have a colorful past!




A deal on very nice vintage thigh boots

Even with pricey $16 shipping, someone got a deal on these very nice vintage black leather thigh-high boots for $29.  The seller stated that she bought them 20 years ago for $179.  Although the seller didn't know the brand, these size 6.5 boots look like vintage Wild Pair boots.

Vintage Paloma Picasso designer black leather gauntlet gloves

I was very interested in these vintage Paloma Picasso Italian black leather gloves with large cuffs (gauntlets).  These gloves were listed with a Buy It Now price of $139.00, although the buyer sold them for a lower offer.  I hate that eBay doesn't reveal the final selling price in cases like this!

These silk-lined gloves were listed as a size 7-8.  If I hadn't been concerned about the size, I would have put in a good offer to try to get them for my collection.  I really like everything about this rare style except for the large buckles on the cuffs.







More great vintage leather outfits from "newlookvintage"

eBay seller "newlookvintage" recently listed more vintage 1980s leather items which continued to sell very well.

This unusual black leather suit with chain detail by Junko Shimada sold for a deserving $280!  Although I'm not a fan of the embossed alligator pattern, the chain details on this are exquisite.  Talk about a power leather suit!




This vintage 1980s Jean Claude Jitrois red leather pencil skirt in a size 40 (28" waist) sold for an impressive $168.50.  At 26" long, this is the perfect length for wearing with sexy boots! A simple leather skirt with very clean lines never goes out of style!


Finally, this vintage 1980s Begedor Italy metallic blue leather skirt suit sold for an impressive $145.02.  Another stunner, especially how the fitted waist makes for a very tailored look.
