More nice vintage leather pieces

Seller "newlookvintage" is back with some great, unusual leather pieces, most of which have sold for impressive prices.

This vintage 1970s brown leather cape / cloak sold for an impressive $255.00.  The draping on this is gorgeous and the seller indicated the leather was buttery soft and in pristine condition.  There is a lot of leather in this piece!  This would have been very tempting in classic black!  This would look stunning paired with a beret and long leather gloves.



Someone got a deal on this very nice red leather pantsuit, which surprisingly sold for only $56.00.  I especially like the high collar and belted detail, which definitely gives it a military feel.  Red leather is sexy, but hard to pull off in this volume, at least here in the States.  I can see looking chic in this walking the streets of Florence or Paris. Again, this would have been very tempting in classic black.



In contrast, she sold this gorgeous vintage 1980s red leather blazer-style jacket in a size 8 by Vakko for $122.50.  Definitely more versatile and timeless than the red leather piece above, and the leather looks buttery soft.  The cut on this is stunning and I especially like the notched, pointed collar.  This piece is very structured and would look great paired with a turtleneck, skinny jeans, and riding boots.



Speaking of structured, this vintage 1980s leather peplum jacket by Marc Laurent Paris sold for $71.25.  I really like the exaggerated collar on this piece as well as the padded shoulders and the super-tailored waist.  However, I do think this look is hard to pull off unless you are tall and super thin.  Another piece that would look great with a turtleneck, skinny jeans, and riding boots.
