Some unusual DKNY dark green leather opera gloves

Although listed as Portolano, eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these new DKNY dark green leather opera gloves for an impressive $180.77.  The gloves were a popular size 8.

These 20.5" gloves featured a nice bow detail near the mosquetaire wrist opening with unusual snap closure.




Sexy red leather vintage Wild Pair boots

eBay boot seller "marmfrut" sold these sexy red vintage Wild Pair over-the-knee leather boots for $113.49.

As usual, very nice modeling of these size 7 boots from the seller!








Nicely modeled North Beach Leather black military style dress

This very nicely modeled North Beach leather black military style dress sold for an impressive $262.5, even in a size XS.

Although the model looks a little unsure about the photo shoot, the dress is a great fit for her!


Local retailer sells designer leather opera gloves

A local unclaimed freight retailer sold these designer long black leather gloves by Bottega Veneta for $99.00.  The seller "cargolargo" originally listed them at $149, where they received no bids, then re-listed them at $99 with the same results.  The third time was a charm as they were re-listed with a starting bid of $49 and I watched the price shoot up to $99 in the last few seconds of the auction.

The seller stated these size 6 gloves were 28" long (impressive) and featured the classic 3-line stitching detail on the back of the hand area.  Seller also stated that original retail was $650.


Given that the seller was local, I wish I could have seen these in person.  I definitely would have been interested had they not been such a small size.

An impressive price for Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots

It's nice to see that even this late in the season, the Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" black leather over-the-knee boots still sell well.





These size 8 new-in-box boots received 44 bids and sold for a very impressive $555.00.

Vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch boots

These vintage 1980s Wild Pair black leather crotch boots sold for a respectable $165.31.

What was interesting was that the seller said these size 7.5 boots were altered at the cuff for a smaller thigh.  The only thing I can tell is that maybe that were sewn together near the back of the cuff.  Regardless, these are still some incredible-looking boots and one of my favorite Wild Pair styles.





North Beach Leather biker-style dress, nicely modeled

This nicely modeled, vintage 1980s North Beach Leather biker style dress, even in a size XS, sold for its starting bid of $289.99.  It also appears to be in pristine, like new condition.

As I've always wanted this style of NBL dress, if it ever appears in my size, I would put in a considerable bid!  This would look stunning paired with a little black beret, tight black leather driving gloves, and black leather pumps.








This seller does a great job of modeling leather, as in this black leather blazer from another auction.
