Vintage brown leather thigh-high boots sell well!

These vintage brown leather thigh-high boots received three bids and sold for an impressive $300.  These boots were a size 9 and featured high stacked heels.

The seller stated these boots were likely from the 1970s or 1980s.  These would look great paired with skinny jeans!

A real deal on mens' crotch-high brown leather cowboy boots

All of the boots below were recently sold by eBay seller "suedensteele"

For $100, someone got a real deal on these size 9 mens' crotch-high brown leather cowboy boots custom made by Miguel Jones.

As the bottom photo indicates, these boots measured a whopping 34" tall!

The same seller practically gave away these size 38 Marc Jacobs brown leather OTK boots for $28.  They had a Buy It Now price of $100.  Interesting as the black pair did not sell for its starting bid of $75.  Another seller has those listed in a small size 6.5 for $495!

Again, totally grooving on that studded strap detail.  I've always thought this style would look great paired with a black leather jacket for rock concert date night!

Finally, the same seller only got $25 for these nicely modeled brown leather OTK boots in a size 38.  These 24" tall boots have some of the slouchy style which is popular this season.

Leviticus boots make their first appearance on eBay and sell well

These Leviticus brand boots are fairly new to the market and the style is almost identical to Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots.  In fact, these are actually taller at 30 inches while most "Hilo" boots measure 26 inches.

These brown thigh-high boots in a size 10 sold for $172.50.  They list for $224.99 on the Leviticus Fashions website.







The toes also appear more almond than the round toes on the Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots.



I'd prefer black heels as opposed to the wood-style heels on these, but these are some impressive boots from a new seller on the market!





Modeled here in black by the sexy Leviticus Fashions owner!

Some sexy suede stiletto boots get my attention

Although I usually don't blog about suede boots - they're harder to keep clean and don't have the sheen of smooth leather - these were just too sexy to pass up!

These size 10 knee-high brown suede boots sold for $71.00.  Made by Circa Joan & David, the style is "Dameranda."  Although I'm not a fan of the open area and strap detailing around the top, these are some of the sexiest stiletto heels I've seen in a long time. I also like the sharp lines of the foot and toe area - very sexy!

The photos showed a Nordstrom price tag on the bottom, which makes me wonder if they were purchased at a Nordstrom Rack store?

I think I'd have a hard time passing these up in smooth black leather!

More nice vintage leather pieces

Seller "newlookvintage" is back with some great, unusual leather pieces, most of which have sold for impressive prices.

This vintage 1970s brown leather cape / cloak sold for an impressive $255.00.  The draping on this is gorgeous and the seller indicated the leather was buttery soft and in pristine condition.  There is a lot of leather in this piece!  This would have been very tempting in classic black!  This would look stunning paired with a beret and long leather gloves.



Someone got a deal on this very nice red leather pantsuit, which surprisingly sold for only $56.00.  I especially like the high collar and belted detail, which definitely gives it a military feel.  Red leather is sexy, but hard to pull off in this volume, at least here in the States.  I can see looking chic in this walking the streets of Florence or Paris. Again, this would have been very tempting in classic black.



In contrast, she sold this gorgeous vintage 1980s red leather blazer-style jacket in a size 8 by Vakko for $122.50.  Definitely more versatile and timeless than the red leather piece above, and the leather looks buttery soft.  The cut on this is stunning and I especially like the notched, pointed collar.  This piece is very structured and would look great paired with a turtleneck, skinny jeans, and riding boots.



Speaking of structured, this vintage 1980s leather peplum jacket by Marc Laurent Paris sold for $71.25.  I really like the exaggerated collar on this piece as well as the padded shoulders and the super-tailored waist.  However, I do think this look is hard to pull off unless you are tall and super thin.  Another piece that would look great with a turtleneck, skinny jeans, and riding boots.

Dsquared2 smooth black leather gauntlet gloves make a rare appearance on eBay

Although I'd hoped these wouldn't sell and would be relisted at a lower price, these Dsquared2 black lamb leather cashmere-lined gauntlet gloves sold for $241.37.  A seller in Edinburgh, United Kingdom offered these size Medium gloves for sale.


There is another pair currently listed on eBay in a size large, but they're black suede with a smooth black leather cuff.  The seller just dropped the Buy It Now price from $190 to $145.  While it's tempting, I'd really like to have these in the all smooth black leather.


Apparently, it's hard to get a photo of these modeled in black, although the brown look very nice, too!

Beautiful vintage OTK boots from Amsterdam sell very well

A seller in Amsterdam got a very deserving $183.50 for these beautiful vintage dark brown leather over-the-knee boots.  International shipping was even a reasonable $20.00.

With the narrow stacked heel and straight shaft, the style of these boots is timeless.  Even better, they were a popular size EU 41 (US 10).  In fact, they look so dark in the photos, I originally thought they were black.  Of course, these would look amazing worn over skinny jeans.

The seller stated that they came from a vintage store in Amsterdam, and given that city's history, you have to wonder if these boots have a colorful past!

Great vintage 1980s leather power suits sell well!

eBay seller "newlookvintage" recently listed several vintage 1980s leather items and did very well in fetching some nice prices for some unusual leather pieces. This post will focus on power leather skirt suits!

This goregous Jean Claude Jitrois yellow leather suit sold for a very well-deserving $305.00!  This stunning suit was marked a size 40 and measured around a medium.  I especially like the oversized collar, although I wish the seller would have pictured it with the collar turned up.  The waist belt detail is very stylish too, almost like a corset with the way it fastens in the back.  This would look great paired with a wide brimmed black hat, black pumps, a black clutch purse and some stylish black leather gauntlet gloves.





This vintage Erez red hot leather suit was practically a deal at $112.73!  This size S/M suit features some very new wave styling and like the yellow suit above, would look great paired with black accessories.



Someone got a deal on this bright green North Beach Leather suit in a size 7/8 for only $86.23.  Although not my favorite style, this should be very well-made of buttery soft leather given that it's from North Beach Leather. The huge peplum just screams vintage 1980s!



Finally, this vintage Issey Miyake brown (taupe?) leather bomber-style suit in a medium size sold for an impressive $294.99.  Although the jacket is a little too boxy for me, I really like the style of the skirt with its high-waist detailing.  In fact, had the skirt been my size and in black, I would have put in a good bid.  This would look great paired with some black or dark brown riding-style boots.
