North Beach Leather military-style dress in rare black sells for $600!

With bidding starting at one cent, this North Beach Leather military-style dress in classic black received 46 bids and sold for a whopping $598.88.  This is quite possibly the most I've ever seen a vintage NBL dress sell for on eBay!  Especially impressive since this dress is a size Small.

Great photography by the seller to show off the exquisite detailing and craftsmanship on this piece.

The seller knows their North Beach Leather: For your consideration from the fall 1987 collection, the Military Dress by Michael Hoban for North Beach Leather.  One of the most desired and collectable dresses in the history of the company.  Here in the most desirable black version...

A green North Beach Leather military dress fetches lots of green!

Even in a size XS, I'm not surprised at all that this vintage North Beach Leather military-style dress in a rare green sold for an impressive $263.88.  And this one appears to be in pristine condition!

As the seller stated, "Leather is really hot this season, so get ready to rock Christmas and St. Patrick's Day.  This dress in green is getting harder and harder to find."

A decent deal on a vintage North Beach Leather military dress

Someone got a decent deal on this black North Beach Leather military-style dress in a size medium for $175.50.  I've seen this dress in this size and color sell for twice as much!

I especially like the double-breasted button detail, the contrasting piping, mandarin collar, padded shoulders, and of course, the shoulder epaulets.

Vintage 1980s Italian OTK boots by Mary Popps








These vintage 1980s Italian black leather over-the-knee boots by Mary Popps sold for a very impressive $237.50, especially in a small size 6.5  I'm not so sure about the red piping but I really like the 30" height, nice cuffs, straight lines, and sexy spiked heels.

I think these fetched such a high price because these boots very rarely appear on eBay.  They also appear to be in excellent condition!
