Vintage Biondini Italian racy red leather thigh-high boots

Swiss boot seller "bootshopmauro" sold these vintage Biondini Italian thigh-high boots for an impressive $358.24.  These sexy red boots were a size 8.5 / EU 38.5 and featured pull-on styling with very clean lines.  These featured sexy 4" heels and an impressively tall 28" upper shaft!

Although the seller stated these were pre-owned, the soles and heel tips appear to be in pristine, like-new condition.

I've never thought red boots to be very practical, but these could really make for a stunning Valentine's Day outfit!

A nicely modeled red leather biker-style dress sells well

eBay seller "leatherbill" sold this red-hot vintage leather biker dress for a deserving $174.  Very nicely modeled, this dress was a size small and the seller indicated it was a "North Beach style" with "zippers everywhere."

Worn slightly unzipped is a very provocative look while the fully zipped look is more sophisticated.

One of the nicest leather dresses I've seen in quite awhile!

PERFECT PAIRINGS: black leather driving gloves, knee-high black leather boots, black or red pumps

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 nice vintage leather pieces

Seller "newlookvintage" is back with some great, unusual leather pieces, most of which have sold for impressive prices.

This vintage 1970s brown leather cape / cloak sold for an impressive $255.00.  The draping on this is gorgeous and the seller indicated the leather was buttery soft and in pristine condition.  There is a lot of leather in this piece!  This would have been very tempting in classic black!  This would look stunning paired with a beret and long leather gloves.



Someone got a deal on this very nice red leather pantsuit, which surprisingly sold for only $56.00.  I especially like the high collar and belted detail, which definitely gives it a military feel.  Red leather is sexy, but hard to pull off in this volume, at least here in the States.  I can see looking chic in this walking the streets of Florence or Paris. Again, this would have been very tempting in classic black.



In contrast, she sold this gorgeous vintage 1980s red leather blazer-style jacket in a size 8 by Vakko for $122.50.  Definitely more versatile and timeless than the red leather piece above, and the leather looks buttery soft.  The cut on this is stunning and I especially like the notched, pointed collar.  This piece is very structured and would look great paired with a turtleneck, skinny jeans, and riding boots.



Speaking of structured, this vintage 1980s leather peplum jacket by Marc Laurent Paris sold for $71.25.  I really like the exaggerated collar on this piece as well as the padded shoulders and the super-tailored waist.  However, I do think this look is hard to pull off unless you are tall and super thin.  Another piece that would look great with a turtleneck, skinny jeans, and riding boots.

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.

Great vintage 1980s leather power suits sell well!

eBay seller "newlookvintage" recently listed several vintage 1980s leather items and did very well in fetching some nice prices for some unusual leather pieces. This post will focus on power leather skirt suits!

This goregous Jean Claude Jitrois yellow leather suit sold for a very well-deserving $305.00!  This stunning suit was marked a size 40 and measured around a medium.  I especially like the oversized collar, although I wish the seller would have pictured it with the collar turned up.  The waist belt detail is very stylish too, almost like a corset with the way it fastens in the back.  This would look great paired with a wide brimmed black hat, black pumps, a black clutch purse and some stylish black leather gauntlet gloves.





This vintage Erez red hot leather suit was practically a deal at $112.73!  This size S/M suit features some very new wave styling and like the yellow suit above, would look great paired with black accessories.



Someone got a deal on this bright green North Beach Leather suit in a size 7/8 for only $86.23.  Although not my favorite style, this should be very well-made of buttery soft leather given that it's from North Beach Leather. The huge peplum just screams vintage 1980s!



Finally, this vintage Issey Miyake brown (taupe?) leather bomber-style suit in a medium size sold for an impressive $294.99.  Although the jacket is a little too boxy for me, I really like the style of the skirt with its high-waist detailing.  In fact, had the skirt been my size and in black, I would have put in a good bid.  This would look great paired with some black or dark brown riding-style boots.
