Prada long leather gloves sell for $235

These Prada long black leather opera gloves sold for their starting bid of $234.99.  These were previously listed for $249.99, but didn't sell, so the seller lowered the price.

These size 8 gloves were lightly worn and measured 23" long.  Made in Italy, of lambskin leather and a silk lining.  They featured classic three-line detailing on the backs of the hands and a unique snap closure at the wrists.

Kudos to the seller for the clear photos with the measurements.  Someone got a pair of very nice, designer long leather gloves.

Last-minute bidding drives up the price on Tamara Mellon's classic "Icon" boots

These Tamara Mellon "Icon" boots sold for an impressive $405.  What's especially impressive is that I was tracking this auction and it went into the final minute of bidding with only a $71 bid.  I thought someone was going to get a real deal on these, but then the bids shot up within the last minute.

These size 39 boots were made in Italy and feature a sexy 105mm heel and nicely pointed toes.  These are the classic black leather knee-high boot style.  They're also trendy in that they can be worn slouchy.  They've just recently been discontinued by the designer, which is interesting considering how popular these are with the fashion bloggers.  Tamara Mellon herself also wore them for several photo shoots.








Biondini black leather thigh-high boots make a rare appearance

 A seller in Germany sold these stunning Biondini black leather thigh-high boots for a deserving $474.  This auction received an amazing 67 bids!

These size 41 boots were nicely modeled over skinny jeans and leather pants.  These Italian-made boots featured sexy stiletto heels and pointy toes.  Unfortunately, those pointy toes also tend to get significant wear as the seller's photos also show.

Interesting to note that in the background of some of the photos you can see more sexy stiletto-heeled black leather boots.  This seller has excellent taste in boots!  And I can only imagine how sexy those stiletto heels sound walking across her hardwood floors!










A real deal on Coach "Monet" OTK boots

For their starting bid of $28, someone got a real deal on these vintage, hard-to-find Coach "Monet" black leather OTK boots.  Elsewhere online, these boots are listed for anywhere from $98 to $325!

These size 8M boots were made in Italy and feature strap and buckle details along the shafts and narrow stacked heels.






A 2018 post on this blog shows a size 8 pair selling for $289.99!

Vintage 1970s Donald J. Pliner tan leather thigh-high boots

These vintage 1970s Donald J. Pliner Beverly Hills thigh-high boots started with a bid of $19.90 and sold for an impressive $227.74.  Especially impressive considering the wear these babies show!

These size 39.5 boots were made in Italy and featured stacked wooden heels and nicely rounded toes.  It also appears that they can be worn cuffed thanks to the large slit at the upper rear of the shafts.  However, I was disappointed that the seller didn't list what was surely an impressive height.

These vintage boots would look great work with faded skinny jeans or a flowery boho-style skirt.

I bet these boots have an amazing history!











Vintage black leather thigh-high boots by Emilio Pucci sell for $250

These vintage designer black leather thigh-high boots by Emilio Pucci sold for their Buy It Now price of $249.99.  These beautiful boots were a size 38 and featured 4" metal heels with an impressive 26" Italian leather upper.  The seller stated that these were worn one time.

I'd never seen these boots before but have to admit that they're pretty impressive and appear to be very well-made.







The stitching detail on these was very impressive, too.



Interesting as this identical pair in the same exact size is currently listed with a Buy It Now price of $549 and shows considerably more wear on the soles.  However, I did like that this seller choose to show these cuffed as well.
