Vintage yellow NBL jacket paired nicely with black leather pants

This vintage 1990s Chanel-style creamy yellow leather jacket by North Beach Leather (size 6) sold for it's starting bid of $49.99.  It would make a great "leather suit" look paired with a matching skirt or pants, the seller went for a slightly edgier look by modeling it with some sharp black leather pants. While I'd normally think the gold toggle closures were distracting, they give this jacket a very rich feel.

Very rare Chanel black leather OTK riding boots

These vintage 1996 Chanel black leather over-the-knee riding style boots rarely appear on eBay, and when they do, expect them to fetch an amazing price.  As these were my size (40 / US 9), I put in a bid, but it was way below the $710 these ended up selling for.  This very popular item received 31 bids.

What could have been extra-appealing about these is that, except for the height, the styling is very unisex.  I could very easily see a man purchasing these as some very high-end riding boots!

It appears from the auction text that the lucky seller was the original owner:
Purchased in 1996 these authentic Chanel boots are still gorgeous, black leather, they look like over the top English riding boots. CC logo on the front, marked on the bottom Chanel stamp, they have been re soled, they have a great distressed look, lined in leather. Claudia Schiffer modeled similar boots on the runway in 1996.

Vintage Chanel OTK boots sell for $713.00!






These vintage 1980s Chanel for I. Magnin black leather OTK pirate style boots sold for an amazing $713.00!

In a popular size 9.5-10, these seller said these boots were made of buttery soft black lambskin just like the Chanel bags. I especially like the nicely pointed toes, ability to cuff, and the gold chain detail on the back. I also like that they're very nicely modeled.

Masculine, yet very sexy, Chanel thigh boots



This is the second pair of these Chanel thigh-high boots I've seen on eBay this season, and both pairs fetched impressive prices. These size 8.5 boots sold for $510!

The seller stated that an ex-boyfriend bought these boots for her. This ex-boyfriend had good taste in boots, must have had decent money to spend on boots, and must have really wanted to see his girlfriend in these very expensive boots!

It's interesting how the footbed of these boots has such a masculine style, yet the height on these boots makes them very feminine and sexy.

High-end Chanel "High Boots" fetch a high price

I'm pretty sure these are the same Chanel boots that Anne Hathaway wore in "The Devil Wears Prada." After filming was over, Anne said the boots were the one wardrobe item she wished she could have kept.

The original list price on these highest-of-the-high-end designer boots was $2,920! The style name "High Boots" is an understatement, considering they're a whopping 35" tall. These size 37.5 boots sold for an impressive $814.00.

Chanel riding style thigh-boots sell for $800!!

Whoa! These size 39.5 Chanel riding style boots sold for a whopping $800! I have to admit that they'd look equally sexy on the back of a horse or a motorcycle! However, the style of foot area with its lacing is a little too masculine. While I've been wanting a nice pair of riding boots, and preferably thigh-high ones, $800 for a designer pair is out of my league!
