Two identical vintage North Beach Leather military style dresses sell for two very different prices

eBay can be a fickle beast.

Here are two recent auctions for vintage North Beach Leather military-style dresses in royal blue.

This size XS with a serious rip in the lining sold for $279!

While this identical dress in a size S, in excellent condition with more professional photography sold for only $160!

Rare metallic blue OTK boots with metal stiletto heels

Another pair from eBay boot seller "securepay.llc" and in the category of "they don't make boots like this anymore..."

This rare pair of metallic blue over-the-knee boots with metal stiletto heels sold for a deserving $210.50.  The seller stated that she had owned these size 10 boots for about 20 years, which makes me wonder if they are vintage Frederick's of Hollywood boots.  She added that she used to wear these to the office (whoa!) and clubs when she was in her 20s.  She also states, and rightly so, that "the heels are the obvious story on these boots."  Just imagine the sound those metal heels would make on hard surfaces

These amazing pull-on boots are an impressive 26" tall with 5" stiletto heels.  Although the metallic blue color doesn't seem that practical, this is a great look if you can pull it off!

An assortment of recent Leather Dress sales on eBay

Over the holiday season, there were a variety of North Beach Leather dresses for sale on eBay.  As you'll see below, the military style continues to fetch the highest dollar for NBL leather dresses.

This nicely modeled classic North Beach Leather dress (size PS) sold for $125.95.  This has always been my favorite North Beach Leather dress style with the two-way zipper, high collar, and padded shoulders.

Actually, I've always preferred this dress in basic black, and someone got a real deal on this classic North Beach Leather two-way zipper dress (size M) for $81.00!

This North Beach Leather military style dress (size S) from "leatherbill" sold for a deserving $309.00.  This leather seller from Canada always features very nicely modeled leather apparel!

 

This unmodeled North Beach Leather military-style dress (size M) in royal blue sold for an impressive $242.50.  I'm a little surprised that it fetched such a good price considering it looks fairly wrinkled.  However, it does appear to be in excellent condition.  Great details on this dress!

For a totally different style, eBay leather seller "shoesandglasses" formerly "showbidness" sold this black strapless bustier dress (size M) by North Beach Leather for $127.50.  Is it just me or do the black leather opera gloves really make the outfit?!

More great vintage leather outfits from "newlookvintage"

eBay seller "newlookvintage" recently listed more vintage 1980s leather items which continued to sell very well.

This unusual black leather suit with chain detail by Junko Shimada sold for a deserving $280!  Although I'm not a fan of the embossed alligator pattern, the chain details on this are exquisite.  Talk about a power leather suit!

This vintage 1980s Jean Claude Jitrois red leather pencil skirt in a size 40 (28" waist) sold for an impressive $168.50.  At 26" long, this is the perfect length for wearing with sexy boots! A simple leather skirt with very clean lines never goes out of style!

Finally, this vintage 1980s Begedor Italy metallic blue leather skirt suit sold for an impressive $145.02.  Another stunner, especially how the fitted waist makes for a very tailored look.

Classic NBL zip-front dress in bright blue

This vintage bright blue dress from North Beach Leather (size M) sold for an impressive $202.50. Although I prefer the plain back as opposed to the belted back, this is still one of my favorite styles of North Beach Leather dresses.

Interesting, as the seller stated that Kirstie Alley wore this same style dress on an episode of "Cheers." Of course, I had to see if I could track down a picture of her in the dress. Unfortunately, I could not.

Great eBay boot modeling - Part 3, blue metal stiletto heel boots

Again, more great boot modeling from the same eBay seller as the two previous posts. This time, we get super sexy blue leather metal-heeled stiletto boots paired very nicely with coordinating outfits. Between the matching blue leather skirt, the denim mini-skirt, matching lycra catsuit and gloves, and black leather pants, this seller really knows how to model boots! UPDATE: These boots sold for $102.50.










Again, if only in my size!

Blue Biondini Boots and a sexy video

These vintage 1980s Biondini blue leather boots with snakeskin detail and sexy spiked heels sold for their opening bid of $49.99. I think there would have been more interest in these if they had been larger than a size 7.

I especially enjoyed the way the seller was able to provide some very sexy modeling with the YouTube video, although I was intrigued by the black animal (panther?!) which walks across the path halfway through the video.

Bright blue Italian boots by Andrew Geller

These vintage 1980s royal blue Italian leather dress boots by Andrew Geller in a size 8.5 sold for an impressive $132.50. Although the color is a little too bold for me, these boots look very high quality.
