Vintage white leather thigh-high boots from Frederick's sell for nearly $100 more than their original price

These vintage while leather thigh-high boots with metal heels by Frederick's of Hollywood sold for an impressive and deserving $250, even with pricey $21 shipping.  These boots were a size 9 and the seller stated she received them as a gift, but never wore them because she got pregnant.  She added that she planned to wear them for photo shoots.

Especially impressive is that the owner still had the original catalog listing and invoice from Frederick's of Hollywood, which has to be vintage 80s or 90s.




Given what these sell for now on eBay, it's hard to believe these incredible boots were only $129 at one time in the Frederick's catalog.


And we can see that the seller originally bought these in December 1993, so they will be a vintage 25-years old this year!

As a bonus for reading to the bottom of this post, here's a nicely-modeled pair in black from a previous post. http://ebayleather.blogspot.com/2013/04/vintage-black-leather-thigh-boots-with.html






Vintage Italian black leather OTK boots by Piampiani sell for $100

These very nice vintage Italian black leather OTK boots sold for a deserving $100.  These boots were a size 40 / US 9 and nicely modeled.  They also had a full-length zipper running up the back of the shaft.  The quality of the leather looks exceptional and these boots were nicely modeled.

The flat heel and pointy toes on these would make a great addition to a musketeer or pirate costume for Halloween.






An inside view of these boots reveals they were made in Italy by Piampiani, a maker whose boots I've admired before.  Now I kind of wish I had bid on these!

As you can see from my previous post on these boots, this buyer got a real deal as a size 8.5 pair sold for nearly $225 almost ten years ago!

I also like how the seller modeled them not only with leggings, but with pants, albeit slightly baggy to wear tucked into boots.
