Jimmy Choo "April" black leather OTK boots

These super sexy Jimmy Choo "April" black leather over-the-knee boots sold for an impressive $516.67.  These size 41 boots came with the original box and dust bag and the seller stated that she only wore them outside once.  Original retail on these beauties was $1,395.




What's frustrating is that just last week I could have snapped up these boots in a size 38.5 on therealreal.com for $245 less a 20% discount for a real deal at $197!

Long black leather opera gloves sell really well!

I watched these 26.5" long black leather opera gloves go from $81.00 to $144.70 in the last 10 seconds of bidding.  I figure they sold so well for a couple of reasons: 1) they're a popular size 8.5 and 2) I suspect they're vintage Classic Leatherwear gloves.




Although the seller didn't stated that they were custom made, I've owned these gloves before and the elastic at the wrist and the fact that they're lined in a black silky material make me think these are Classic Leatherwear.

These are highly sought after leather gloves that I believe originated in Canada, but are no longer made.  I was fortunate to get my hands on a pair on eBay several years ago for $125 and later sold them on because they weren't getting enough use.
