Vakko belted black leather jacket


I try not to post too many items that don't receive any bids, but this beautiful belted black leather coat from Vakko was a stunner. With the collar turned up, it goes from biker style to biker chic. Casual enough to wear with jeans, dressy enough to pair with a wool pencil skirt and boots.

This size small jacket was listed with a starting bid of $39.99.

Dolci's caramel leather thigh boots


These vintage Dolci's thigh-high boots did not sell at their starting bid of $49.00. It had to have been the small size 6, because the seller said these boots were new without a box, and they appear to be in unworn condition. As I think Dolci's went out of business years ago, these are probably more like new old stock.

Being made by the same company, these look like vintage Wild Pair boots I see fairly often on eBay in classic black leather.

It would have been nice if the seller had posted more pictures, or better yet, modeled them. These gorgeous caramel-colored boots would look stunning worn over skinny jeans and would have been very tempting in a larger size.

North Beach Leather military dress and jacket



Great modeling on this classic vintage North Beach Leather military style jacket and dress.

This size 5/6 dress and jacket combo sold for a deserving $300.

Marni long black leather gloves


These medium size long black leather gloves from Marni sold for an impressive $97.99.

These new Italian-made gloves measured 19" long and featured top-stitching detail.

Italian leather trench coat sells for $610!


This previously-owned Bottega Veneta black leather trench coat received 22 bids and sold for a very impressive $610.50. This Italian-made trench was a size 42 and looks to be very well-made of buttery soft leather. I especially like the wide leather tie belt.

Nice pictures, but it would have been even nicer to have seen this modeled.

A leather catsuit for $26?!



I find it hard to believe that this real leather catsuit modeled after Sienna Miller's "Baroness" character in the GI Joe movie only sold for $26.00, or that the seller let it go for so little. The seller stated that it was custom-made for the girl in the photos and they didn't like the way it fit.

Obviously it didn't include the armor, the gloves, boots, belt, or prop guns. Still, for a custom-made leather catsuit, this was a steal at $26.00!

Of course, I have to wonder if this costume was made for roleplaying, Comic-Con, or Halloween? And as the suit was modeled outside, what do the lucky neighbors think?

Neiman Marcus black leather trench coat




This Neiman Marcus black leather trench coat was very appealing except for a ripped pocket. The styling is classic with clean lines and I'm sure the Neiman leather is buttery soft. This would look stunning paired with black leather boots, matching gloves and a beret. The collar is also nicely sized and could be worn turned up for an extra mysterious look.

This size medium coat sold for its Buy It Now price of $99.00.
