Although the model looks a little unsure about the photo shoot, the dress is a great fit for her!

Local retailer sells designer leather opera gloves
A local unclaimed freight retailer sold these designer long black leather gloves by Bottega Veneta for $99.00. The seller "cargolargo" originally listed them at $149, where they received no bids, then re-listed them at $99 with the same results. The third time was a charm as they were re-listed with a starting bid of $49 and I watched the price shoot up to $99 in the last few seconds of the auction.
The seller stated these size 6 gloves were 28" long (impressive) and featured the classic 3-line stitching detail on the back of the hand area. Seller also stated that original retail was $650.
Given that the seller was local, I wish I could have seen these in person. I definitely would have been interested had they not been such a small size.

Vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch boots
These vintage 1980s Wild Pair black leather crotch boots sold for a respectable $165.31.
What was interesting was that the seller said these size 7.5 boots were altered at the cuff for a smaller thigh. The only thing I can tell is that maybe that were sewn together near the back of the cuff. Regardless, these are still some incredible-looking boots and one of my favorite Wild Pair styles.

North Beach Leather biker-style dress, nicely modeled
This nicely modeled, vintage 1980s North Beach Leather biker style dress, even in a size XS, sold for its starting bid of $289.99. It also appears to be in pristine, like new condition.
As I've always wanted this style of NBL dress, if it ever appears in my size, I would put in a considerable bid! This would look stunning paired with a little black beret, tight black leather driving gloves, and black leather pumps.
This seller does a great job of modeling leather, as in this black leather blazer from another auction.

Very rare Chanel black leather OTK riding boots
These vintage 1996 Chanel black leather over-the-knee riding style boots rarely appear on eBay, and when they do, expect them to fetch an amazing price. As these were my size (40 / US 9), I put in a bid, but it was way below the $710 these ended up selling for. This very popular item received 31 bids.
What could have been extra-appealing about these is that, except for the height, the styling is very unisex. I could very easily see a man purchasing these as some very high-end riding boots!
It appears from the auction text that the lucky seller was the original owner:
Purchased in 1996 these authentic Chanel boots are still gorgeous, black leather, they look like over the top English riding boots. CC logo on the front, marked on the bottom Chanel stamp, they have been re soled, they have a great distressed look, lined in leather. Claudia Schiffer modeled similar boots on the runway in 1996.

Rare North Beach Leather biker dress style
Listed with a "Buy It Now" price of $499.99, this vintage North Beach Leather biker-style dress (size XS) still sold for an impressive $355.00. This rare sleeveless style almost never appears on eBay.
Although I'm normally not a fan of big, bold zippers, the ones on this dress really make a statement. I also think this would look stunning pair with some long black leather opera gloves.

Current season Nordstrom leather opera gloves
eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these current season Nordstrom black leather opera gloves in an extra large for their starting bid of $149.99.
These 22" long gloves feature 12 goldtone studs down the side of each glove.
I found it interesting that the two styles of long leather gloves that Nordstrom featured this season were both highly-decorated. Although they look stunning on the model, I prefer my gloves without decorations.

Nicely modeled vintage Wild Pair thigh boots
These nicely modeled vintage Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots, even in a small size 6, sold for a respectable $124.99. This basic style rarely appears on eBay, and looks great both cuffed and uncuffed.
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.
