Classic style Wild Pair thigh-high boots fetch a nice Buy It Now price

These classic-style Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots sold for their Buy It Now price of $139.99.  These size 8 boots feature a full-length zipper and are identical to the very first pair of Wild Pair boots I've ever owned.  I bought mine over 20 years ago and this pair is still a personal favorite in my collection!



Tiffany long black leather gloves sell well

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these Tiffany long Italian black leather gloves for a deserving $127.50.  These size 7 gloves are lined in Tiffany blue silk and measure 18" long.  These designer gloves also feature a Tiffany button in each corner and come with a Tiffany dust bag.

What's interesting is that I thought Tiffany only sold jewelry.  I can see these beautiful gloves pairing very nicely with one of their diamond bracelets!





Rare style Wild Pair vintage thigh-high boots with fringe fetch an impressive price

These nicely modeled vintage Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots with fringe sold for a very impressive $192.50.  I suspect these boots sold for such a high price for a few reasons 1) the large size and 2) the rarity of this style on eBay and 3) what appears to be no wear on the soles!

Elie Tahari belted leather coat or dress?

Although listed as a belted leather coat, this Elie Tahari piece looks more like a very sexy black leather dress!

Except for the top-stitching detail, I really like everything about this dress.  Of course, it would look very sleek paired with a slouchy beret and matching black leather knee-high boots!

Had it been in my size instead of a small, I would have put in a decent bid.  This beautiful leather garment sold for an impressive $128.50!



Vintage Wild Pair thigh boots get snapped up quickly

I was not surprised to see these beautiful vintage 1980s black leather thigh-high boots by Wild Pair get snapped up shortly after they were listed.  I have "Wild Pair boots" as one of my saved searches, so I get e-mails every morning when new items are added that match my search.  These had already been snapped up for $88 using Buy It Now by the time I clicked on the link in my e-mail.  They're a size 6.5, so I wouldn't have been interested but I have to admit that this style of Wild Pair boots has always intrigued me.  And I've never been able to add a pair in this style to my collection.  I especially like the clean lines of the simple pull-on styling as well as that these can be worn cuffed.

These would look stunning paired with skinny jeans and a black leather concert as well as part of a sexy pirate costume for Halloween!

Still, someone got a very nice pair of vintage thigh boots that the seller indicated had only been worn once.






 And kudos to the seller, who listed them with some great text:

I wish I had a live model, as these look great on real legs and thighs! ..... 

Beautiful, vintage 1980s true THIGH HIGH BOOTS, darkest black leather, way way over the knee and almost to the crotch area depending on your height. These are made by WILD PAIR, made in Brazil, and are supple and lustrous full leather, with high heels, curved vamp and slightly rounded pointed toe that is very feminine. These are 1 sexy pair of thigh high boots! Back in fashion today (did they ever really go out of style?), I purchased these in the late 1980s and only wore them once so they have light wear only and are in good, clean condition. These measure almost 30" high/long and can be cuffed down at the top for a different look, a sort of pirate appeal.
