A deal on high-end designer black leather opera gloves

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these Tory Burch long black leather opera gloves for $80.  These size 7.5 gloves measured an impressive 22.5" long.  The seller stated that original retail on these lightly worn gloves was $225.

As nice as these gloves appear, I'm surprised that a pair of designer gloves would have the seam across the glove, which is usually an indicator of less expensive gloves.  I'm not sure why, but the horizontal seam across the glove is usually a dealbreaker for me.

Vintage black leather thigh boots with metal stiletto heels

These vintage black leather thigh-high boots with sexy metal stiletto heels were listed with a Buy It Now price of $175.00, but the seller accepted a best offer, so the final price wasn't revealed.  However, during the holiday buying rush, I've seen these sell for upwards of $250.  Although the seller couldn't locate a brand name, these remind me of vintage Frederick's of Hollywood boots.

The leather on these size 11 boots looks amazing and if you could handle the 5" stiletto heels, would be a great addition to a boot collection.  Very nicely modeled with bright tights, these would also look great paired with a black leather jacket and skinny jeans.  Regardless of how you wear them, these would definitely be attention-getting boots!

Vintage 1980s North Beach Leather military-style jacket

Even with pricey $21 shipping, this  black North Beach Leather blazer with military styling sold for an impressive $159.88.  This vintage 1980s jacket was a size 9/10 and features some great detailing.  I was a little surprised that the buttons are non-functional and actually cover snap closures.

I would envision wearing this paired with skinny jeans tucked into black leather riding boots to complete the military look.

Maria Christina rugged Italian over-the-knee boots

A seller in Prague, Czech Republic sold these Maria Christina tall black leather over-the-knee riding boots for $95.00 plus $15.00 shipping. These size 39.5 (US 9.5) boots were made in Italy.

The style of these boots remind me of the Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots, only with a more rugged lug sole.  These boots featured an unusual zipper opening near the rear tops.  In hindsight, I wish I would have bid on these.

Unusual dark green long leather gloves by Portolano for DKNY sell well

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these very nice cashmere-lined Portolano for DKNY dark green leather opera gloves for $91.00.  These size 7.5 gloves measured 20" long and featured an unusual bow detail near the three-button opening.

Black leather military jacket by Banana Republic

I really like the military styling of this belted black leather jacket from Banana Republic.  Had it been my size instead of a size small, I would have put in a good bid.  Although this jacket was listed with a premium Buy It Now price of $250.00, it sold for $69.99.

I think this jacket would look great paired with skinny jeans tucked into black leather riding boots!

A deal on sexy Via Spiga classic black leather dress boots

Someone got a deal on these gently worn Via Spiga "Mimosa" boots for $30, even with pricey $16 shipping for the original box. 

These size 9.5 black leather dress boots are one of my favorite knee-high styles.  When I priced them at the Nordstrom Rack store last season, they were still $200, so someone got a really good deal on these classic-styled boots.  I especially like the nicely pointed toes and very sexy spiked heels.

Sexy North Beach Leather biker style dress in eggplant purple

I was a little surprised that this vintage North Beach Leather dress, even in a size XS, only sold for its starting price of $140.00.  The sexy biker-style of this eggplant purple-colored dress has always been one of my favorites, and it rarely appears on eBay.

Unusual long black leather gloves

eBay glove seller sold these unusual 20" long black leather size L gloves by lingerie retailer, Agent Provocateur, for $94.00.  These "Yana" style gloves were brand new with tags and still attached, Italian-made and silk-lined, so they're definitely splurge-worthy

What makes these gloves unusual is the snap-closure at the wrist and the stud detail on the fingertips.  I'm trying to decide if the studded fingertips are 1) a fashion detail, 2) a sensory detail, or 3) a practical detail for use with touchscreen devices!  Regardless, these are very sexy gloves and now I find myself wishing I'd bid a little more for them!  A seller in Great Britain currently has these identical gloves listed for $230!

Although these are obviously a "past season" item, a pair of long leather gloves with zipper detail is currently selling on Agent Provocateur's website for $990!!!

Vintage 1980s black leather thigh boots sell well

It's nice to see vintage leather thigh boots sell this well, especially in the off-season. 

eBay boot sller "marmfrut" sold these size 9 vintage 1980s black leather thigh-high boots with 5" spike heels sold for $127.50.  These 30.5" tall boots even had a starting bid of $120.  Although she didn't know the brand name, they look like vintage Frederick's of Hollywood boots.  It's been my experience that FOH didn't label most of their boots.

As the seller stated, it appears that they were never worn outside.  Quite likely, they're another pair of "bedroom boots" seen so often on eBay!

As usual from this seller, very nicely modeled, especially since it appears you have to have thin, sculpted legs to carry off this look!
