Rare style Wild Pair vintage thigh-high boots with fringe fetch an impressive price

These nicely modeled vintage Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots with fringe sold for a very impressive $192.50.  I suspect these boots sold for such a high price for a few reasons 1) the large size and 2) the rarity of this style on eBay and 3) what appears to be no wear on the soles!

Elie Tahari belted leather coat or dress?

Although listed as a belted leather coat, this Elie Tahari piece looks more like a very sexy black leather dress!

Except for the top-stitching detail, I really like everything about this dress.  Of course, it would look very sleek paired with a slouchy beret and matching black leather knee-high boots!

Had it been in my size instead of a small, I would have put in a decent bid.  This beautiful leather garment sold for an impressive $128.50!



Vintage Wild Pair thigh boots get snapped up quickly

I was not surprised to see these beautiful vintage 1980s black leather thigh-high boots by Wild Pair get snapped up shortly after they were listed.  I have "Wild Pair boots" as one of my saved searches, so I get e-mails every morning when new items are added that match my search.  These had already been snapped up for $88 using Buy It Now by the time I clicked on the link in my e-mail.  They're a size 6.5, so I wouldn't have been interested but I have to admit that this style of Wild Pair boots has always intrigued me.  And I've never been able to add a pair in this style to my collection.  I especially like the clean lines of the simple pull-on styling as well as that these can be worn cuffed.

These would look stunning paired with skinny jeans and a black leather concert as well as part of a sexy pirate costume for Halloween!

Still, someone got a very nice pair of vintage thigh boots that the seller indicated had only been worn once.






 And kudos to the seller, who listed them with some great text:

I wish I had a live model, as these look great on real legs and thighs! ..... 

Beautiful, vintage 1980s true THIGH HIGH BOOTS, darkest black leather, way way over the knee and almost to the crotch area depending on your height. These are made by WILD PAIR, made in Brazil, and are supple and lustrous full leather, with high heels, curved vamp and slightly rounded pointed toe that is very feminine. These are 1 sexy pair of thigh high boots! Back in fashion today (did they ever really go out of style?), I purchased these in the late 1980s and only wore them once so they have light wear only and are in good, clean condition. These measure almost 30" high/long and can be cuffed down at the top for a different look, a sort of pirate appeal.

Basic, but still sexy vintage Wild Pair thigh-high boots

These vintage Wild Pair boots were listed with a Buy It Now price of $124.99, but sold for an unknown Best Offer price.  This style in a size 6.5 has always been one of my favorite Wild Pair styles, yet for some reason, I've never been able to get a pair in my own size.  I've just always liked the clean, basic pull-on style, an impressive 29" height with 4" spiked heels, and the ability to wear these cuffed for a different look.



More vintage thigh boots, nicely modeled

These nicely modeled vintage black leather thigh-high boots were listed with a Buy It Now price of $120.00, but sold for an unknown Best Offer amount.  Although the seller stated the brand was "WiiB," I'm pretty sure these are vintage Wild Pair.  These sexy boots featuring some nice scroll detailing with pinheads were a size 7.






A very nicely modeled North Beach Leather jacket

Canadian leather seller "leatherbill" sold this nicely modeled vintage North Beach Leather jacket for it's starting bid of $99.  I especially like the styling on this moss green leather jacket, complete with padded shoulders, dolman sleeves, and fitted waist.  It looks great paired with the tight (NBL?) black leather skirt!

And kudos to a seller who always has attractive models displaying his items!




A great deal on Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" OTK boots

These gently used Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" black leather over-the-knee boots in a size 6.5 were snapped up for their Buy It Now price of $149.99.  The seller indicated that they were only worn a few times. And the deal even included the original box!

Without a doubt, one of the best deals I've ever seen for these beautiful boots!  Oh, if these had only been in my size!
