Biker-style black leather designer dress

eBay high-end leather seller "leatherfashions" sold this biker-style designer black leather dress by A.B.S. for Allen Schwartz for a respectable $187.50.  Had this medium size dress been a large or extra large, I would have placed a decent bid as this is a style I've wanted in my collection for years!

A deal on a classic style North Beach Leather dress

Even in a size small, someone got a deal on this classic North Beach Leather zip-front dress for only $102.50.

With padded shoulders, two-way zipper front, high-zip collar, zippered sleeves, and body-hugging fit, this vintage 1980s dress is a classic and almost always sells well on eBay.

As much as I like this dress, I've always preferred that it have black zippers for a sleeker look.

Vintage 1980s purple North Beach Leather dress

This vintage 1980s purple North Beach Leather dress in a size 7/8 sold for a very impressive $393.00. 

I don't know whether it was because of the rare color or the amazing condition or both, but I'm glad to see that my favorite style of North Beach Leather dress has held its value for nearly 25 years!

North Beach Leather Moto-Style Zipper Dress

eBay seller "leatherfashions" sold this stunning size 7/8 North Beach Leather black moto-style zipper dress for a deserving $242.50.  This style of NBL dress rarely appears on eBay.  As with most items "leatherfashions" sells, this item is in pristine, like new condition.

A deal on a rare North Beach Leather dress / jacket style

Someone got a great deal on this rare style North Beach Leather jacket which can double as a dress. This size 7/8 dress sold for only $67.50. For the price, I wish I would have put in a bid on this one!

I believe this was one of Michael Hoban's later styles. The two-way black zipper seems to be a rare feature on an NBL jacket / dress.

Of course, this would look incredible paired with a short NBL skirt and some sexy strappy heels.

Classic black North Beach Leather zip-front dress

eBay seller "leatherbill" sold this classic black North Beach Leather dress for $129.

Classic NBL zip-front dress in bright blue

This vintage bright blue dress from North Beach Leather (size M) sold for an impressive $202.50. Although I prefer the plain back as opposed to the belted back, this is still one of my favorite styles of North Beach Leather dresses.

Interesting, as the seller stated that Kirstie Alley wore this same style dress on an episode of "Cheers." Of course, I had to see if I could track down a picture of her in the dress. Unfortunately, I could not.

North Beach Leather catalog cover dress

eBay leather seller "leatherfashions" sold this bright kelly green leather motorcycle-style dress (size S) by North Beach Leather for an impressive $239.16. The dress appeared on the cover of a vintage NBL catalog.

This is another dress that looks very different depending on whether it's zipped up or worn open.

Vintage Berman's black leather dress sells well

eBay leather seller "leatherbill" sold this very nice vintage Berman's black leather dress (size 6) for a respectable $152.50. I especially like that it's one of the few leather dresses with a black zipper. I also like that the collar can be worn zipped up high, as in the last two photos.

If this sexy black leather dress had been in my size, I would have put in a good bid!

Another vintage North Beach Leather Dress

Another vintage 1980s red North Beach Leather dress, this time the classic zip-front style.

This nicely-modeled dress, a size XS, sold for $136.49.

While I like the tight fit, I'm not a fan of the footwear.

Pretty purple North Beach Leather dress sells well

This beautiful and rare purple North Beach Leather dress sold for a very impressive $288.00, especially considering it is a size small.

The sheen of the leather is just gorgeous. And as the second photo shows, nobody does padded leather shoulders better than North Beach Leather!

A $20 deal on a vintage North Beach Leather dress

Another deal, this time on a vintage 1980s North Beach Leather black dress with knit inserts.

A great deal on a Vakko long black leather skirt

Someone got a great deal on a size 8 Vakko long black leather skirt with full-length two-way front zipper for only $22.52.

Winlit black leather dress...nicely modeled

The zip-front style is similar to North Beach Leather and looks great on the model.

Vakko black leather boot-length skirt

Someone got a nice deal on a beautiful Vakko black leather skirt for $37.88.

Advertised in the auction title as "boot length," the length is a little long to really show off boots at 32 3/4". However, the leather looks buttery soft and the full-length zipper is very appealing.

Classic North Beach Leather dress sells for what?!

Someone got a GREAT deal on this classic North Beach Leather dress for only $52.08. Even though it was a size XS, I think it has great resale value. I was going to place a bid and then forgot!

And you have to appreciate the seller's text:

Newport News leather dress fetches a nice price

Because they rarely appear on eBay these days, this size 12 Newport News black leather zip-front dress sold for a very impressive $152.50. As someone who sold several of these a few years ago, I wish I had more to sell if they're fetching this kind of price!
