Vintage North Beach Leather military dress

A Canadian seller sold this vintage 1980s blue North Beach Leather military-style dress for an impressive $273.65. This size small dress looks stunning and is modeled beautifully!

The "Suburban Swirl" blog

I just came across this "Suburban Swirl" featuring a woman in Texas who really knows how to rock some great leather looks. If you're into this blog, then SS is definitely worth your time: http://suburbanswirl.blogspot.com/

Although it's technically not an "eBay leather listing," it is related as she lists her apparel and accessory brands at the bottom of each post, and several come from eBay, especially her long black leather gloves. I'm a big fan of her "leather leggings tucked into boots" look! And check out the Northbound leather catsuit she wore to volunteer at an art gallery event! Talk about art appreciation!
She also mentioned selling some leather on eBay at one time, although she didn't have much success, which is surprising considering the quality of her photos and modeling.

Great blog, Suburban Swirl! Keep up the good work! EL

Classic Leatherwear leather opera gloves

These Classic Leatherwear long black leather opera gloves sold for their opening bid of $224.99.

These size 7.5 gloves were NWOT and still attached with their original strings. These true opera gloves measure an impressive 28" long.

A deal on sexy stiletto Italian black leather thigh boots

With a Buy It Now price of $699, these sexy stiletto black leather thigh boots sold for $283.99. These size 7 boots by Icone were made in Italy and feature some of the sexiest, spikiest heels and pointy toes I've seen in a long time. The leather looks extremely soft, although I'm not sure how I feel about the metal Icone plate near the top of the shaft.

Someone got a great deal on a pair of boots the seller stated were only worn once and retailed for over $2,000! These super sexy boots would have been very tempting in the right size!

Win some, lose some - a tale of two glove auctions

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these NWT Dents long black leather gloves (photos above) for a very impressive $255.23. These size 8/large gloves measured 24" long and feature very nice stitching detail on the back of the hand as well as nice button detailing on the mosquetaire opening. It's nice to see that brand name, quality leather gloves can still fetch a good price, especially since these are the same gloves I saw retail for $200 at Harrod's a few years ago.

Two weeks later, another eBay leather seller sold the exact same gloves (photos below) in the exact same size and only managed to get the opening bid price of $124.99, less than half of the previous sale! Checking both auctions, I also noticed that both had the same exact wording in the title, both ended on the same day at nearly the same time, as well has had the same starting bids and shipping rates. Even the photos were similar! I always thought eBay was funny (fickle?) this way, that all else being equal, the exact same item can sell for such a different price.

Two similar but very different boots for $41 each

Interesting how two very different pairs of black leather knee-high boots both fetched exactly $41.00 each in auctions that ended a day apart.

These vintage size 9 boots from Wild Pair feature nice narrow stacked wooden heels, rounded toes, buckle detail, and a bright brass zipper.


These size 8.5 boots from Stuart Weitzman feature a nice spiky heel, pointy toes, wide strap with buckle detail and a wide cuff. The seller said she bought these last year for $300.

Vintage Frederick's boots still sell well

Although shipping was a little pricey at $15.00, these vintage 1980s black leather OTK boots sold for a decent $98.07. These size 9 boots look like vintage Frederick's of Hollywood boots.

The style and size were definitely appealing, but they ended up being out of my price range. The style of the toes and the spiky heels are both very nice. I also like how they can be cuffed and scrunched to create very different looks.

Someone got a great pair of vintage boots!
