An out-of-production pair of long black leather gloves sells well
eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these Agent Provocateur Marquis long black leather gloves for $115.50. These unlined gloves were a size 7.5 and measured 23" long.
The seller stated that these gloves were brand new and originally retailed for $335, but that this style is no longer being produced.
Agent Provocateur is a British lingerie retailer which also sells some leather accessories, hence these gloves.

A classic eBay boot seller returns and makes an incredible sale!
After a long absence, eBay boot sellers "bobandangie" returned to list these rare purple leather thigh-high boots made in the UK by Little Shoebox. These size 8 boots received only four bids but sold for a whopping $510!!!
These boots measured an impressive 30" tall with 5 1/2 " stiletto heels.
Interesting, as the seller stated that they previously offered these for sale in 2002. Obviously, these boots have kept their value!

These vintage 1980s red leather over-the-knee boots by Mary Popps sold for a deserving $159.50.
These size 9/39 boots were made in Italy and feature black piping and an unusual black zipper on the outer side of the boot shaft. For vintage boots, they appear to be in very good condition.
While I like the style, I'm not sure how practical red leather boots are, especially OTK boots. I could see these paired for a holiday party with a black or red sweater dress or for a more casual look, over black skinny jeans. I suppose they could also be made to work as part of a sexy Wonder Woman costume although these look more like villainess boots to me!
The seller also indicated that these boots could be worn cuffed, and while I do think some boots look very good cuffed, I don't think this style was meant to be cuffed. It just looks really awkward on these pair with the cuff being open on the side rather than the back of the boots.
