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.

Custom-made crotch boots sell for $680!



These 34" tall custom-made black leather crotch-high boots with 6" heels in a European size 42 (US size 10.5-11) sold for a very impressive $680.00.

Although I'm sure these boots would turn heads, I have to wonder how difficult it is to walk in those extra-tall heels! From the looks of the soles, it appears they've been worn very little.

The same seller sold these NWOB size 9 Western-style crotch-high boots for $410.00. These boots featured a 5" heel and an impressive 35" shaft.

This seller is obviously into some extreme boots!


North Beach Leather biker dress sells for $285



eBay seller "leatherbill" sold this North Beach Leather biker-style black leather dress for an impressive $285.00. Although the bidding started at $199.00, if this had been larger than a size small, I definitely would have been interested in this dress, a style which rarely appears on eBay.

I especially like the collar, epaulet, and zipper details on this dress. Zipped all the way up, the dress gives a totally different appearance than it does zipped down with the collar left open. Personally, I prefer the latter look!

Meanwhile, this identical dress in red sold for its opening bid of $199.00. Also a size small.


Never-worn Wild Pair crotch boots sell for $130


A new listing for a pair of Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots recently appeared in my eBay mailbox. They were listed with a starting bid of $99 and a Buy It Now bid of $180 with free shipping. The boots were a size 7 and the seller said she was selling them for a friend who had never worn them. The seller said her friend bought them in France (the French have great taste in boots!) and stored them in her closet for many years. The seller said she had new heel tips installed and had the bottoms colored black as recommended by the shoe repair shop. I have to admit, this does make them look much classier!

Some buyer got a good deal on a pair of never-worn, classic black leather Wild Pair boots, with some extra TLC given to the heels and soles. These boots sold for $129.57, $50.00 below their Buy It Now Option of $180.00.
