A deal on beautiful black suede Alexander Wang thigh-high boots

These beautiful black suede "Sofia" style thigh-high boots by Alexander Wang sold for $247.00.  The seller stated that these size 39 boots were only worn twice.

These boots came out a few years ago and were highly coveted and now hard to find.  For the price, size and condition, I'd say this lucky buyer got a real deal on boots that originally retailed for $800!

Vintage 1970s beige thigh-high boots sell for an impressive $262!

A vintage boot seller sold these vintage beige thigh-high boots from the 70s for a very impressive $261.99.  These size 8 boots would look great paired with skinny jeans or a boho style skirt.


Cache long black leather gloves sell for an impressive $150

Wow, these Cache brand long black leather opera gloves sold for their starting bid of $149.99!  I've seen these exact gloves, also new with tags, sell for a lot less.  Kudos to the seller for an impressive sale and some very nice modeling.

These gloves were a medium size 7 and new with tags.

Candela "Cloti" black leather OTK boots sell well on Tradesy

Not on eBay, but on Tradesy, these gently used Candela "Cloti" style over-the-knee black leather boots in a popular size 10 sold for an impressive $190.00.  The seller indicated these boots originally retailed for $517.00.

Gently used might be putting it mildly, as these boots appear new from the photos, especially since it appears that one of the buckles still has protective wrapping over it in the first photo.  It also appears that the box is included as it's pictured behind the boots.

This style is a few years old now and it seems to be especially hard to find in a large size.  After being listed for what seems like a few months, someone got wise and finally decided to snap these up!  It's nice to know that this style, one of my current favorites in my own boot collection, still has good resale value online.

An off-season deal on Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" thigh-high boots

Someone got a deal on these size 7.5 Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots for their starting bid of $199. These new without tags (NWOT) boots had a pricey Buy It Now price of $599, close to their original retail.

Kudos to the seller for some nice photography of some of my all-time favorite boots!

Extra long black leather opera gloves still strong sellers

These 30" long black leather opera gloves in a size large received an impressive 37 bids and sold for $94.00.  They were listed as "new without tags" so I'd be very curious as to the brand and quality.



Candela "Cloti" over-the-knee boots make a rare appearance on eBay

Although the auction was ended early because "the item was no longer available for sale," I couldn't resist sharing the nicely modeled photos of these caramel-colored Candela "Cloti" boots.  These boots rarely appear on eBay.

These size 9 boots were listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $220.  The seller indicated they were only worn twice.  Although the seller didn't show these boots cuffed, I know from personal experience that they can be worn cuffed for a different look.  Again, the perfect style to wear with skinny jeans (not bad with shorts, either!).






Vintage burgundy boots sell well!

Even without better photos and pricey $21 shipping, these vintage 1980s burgundy leather boots sold for an impressive $90.99.

These vintage boots were a size 8 and made in Spain for The Broadway.  I especially like the tall, narrow stacked heels and clean pull-on styling.  These would look great worn over skinny jeans.

It's nice to see that timeless boots like these are still sought after!

A deal on vintage studded thigh-high black leather boots

Although these were listed with a Buy It Now price of $45.00, which was already a good deal, someone got an even better deal with their Best Offer on these size 7.5 vintage black leather thigh-high boots. This vintage style boot rarely appears on eBay and with the studs, is the perfect boot for Sturgis or a rock concert.  These boots feature stud detailing near the tops which really makes them unique.  There are also snaps which I assume are for attaching them to a belt to make them into chap boots.

Nice photos, but I would've liked to have seen more modeling than just this one photo.





Vintage 1980s black leather thigh-high boots, nicely modeled

eBay boot seller "marmfrut" sold these vintage 1980s black leather thigh-high boots for their Buy It Now price of $70.00.  These size 6.5 boots remind me of vintage Frederick's of Hollywood boots.  I like their classic styling with the spiky heels and almond-shaped toes.  The pull-on styling makes for some very clean lines and these can be worn cuffed or uncuffed.  When worn uncuffed, these sexy boots measure an impressive 25.5" tall.









For vintage boots, these appear to be in excellent condition!

Vintage Wild Pair thigh-high black leather boots sell for $255!

eBay boot seller "marmfrut" sold these vintage Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots for an impressive $255.00.  These stunning boots were a size 7 and measured 29" tall.  It probably helped that these were in excellent condition with very light wear on the soles and came with their original, vintage Wild Pair box.

I've always really liked this Wild Pair style, but have never been able to find it in my size.  I especially like the pull-on style which gives it very clean lines with no zippers.  These can also be worn cuffed, which gives them  more versatility.

As always, kudos to the seller for her usual excellent modeling which does a great job of showing off these incredibly sexy boots!



















If I remember the Wild Pair label coding correctly, these were a 1986 style and originally sold for $139.



A favorite style of vintage Saks boots makes a rare appearance

These vintage black leather boots by Saks Fifth Avenue were listed with a Buy It Now price of $50.00, but were sold for a Best Offer.  These boots were a size 8 and made in Italy.
This style has always been a favorite of mine for its classic styling: clean lines (no zippers), straight shaft, nice spiked heels and almond toes.







Unfortunately, with many vintage Italian boots from this time, there seems to be a lot of powdering and a look down inside reveals that to be the case with these boots as well.

New long black leather gloves by Neiman Marcus sell well

These 20" long black leather gloves by Neiman-Marcus sold for a deserving $107.50.  These gloves had a lot of appeal: they were New With Tags (orig. $285) and a large size 8.  The seller also stated they were made in Italy and silk-lined.  The price on these gloves hovered at $36 with just three hours left in the auction, but there was obviously a lot of last-minute bidding.  I put in a decent bid, as these were, without a doubt, some of the nicest leather gloves I've seen on eBay in awhile.
