Vintage long black leather gloves from Nordstrom

These vintage 21" long black leather opera gloves from Nordstrom sold for an impressive $105.50.  These size L gloves featured studded detailing down the side of each glove.

Although Nordstrom used to feature long leather gloves regularly as part of its fall/winter collection, it hasn't done so for years.

Vintage 1980s Wild Pair black leather ankle boots

These vintage 1980s Wild Pair black leather ankle boots with sexy spiked heels and nicely rounded toes sold for their starting bid of $35.  These size 9 boots featured 5-inch heels.

Considering how rarely this style appears for sale, I'm surprised they didn't sell for more.  However, it appears there's some deterioration to the leather lining.

These would look great paired with skinny jeans or skinny leather pants.






Vintage 1970s Donald J. Pliner tan leather thigh-high boots

These vintage 1970s Donald J. Pliner Beverly Hills thigh-high boots started with a bid of $19.90 and sold for an impressive $227.74.  Especially impressive considering the wear these babies show!

These size 39.5 boots were made in Italy and featured stacked wooden heels and nicely rounded toes.  It also appears that they can be worn cuffed thanks to the large slit at the upper rear of the shafts.  However, I was disappointed that the seller didn't list what was surely an impressive height.

These vintage boots would look great work with faded skinny jeans or a flowery boho-style skirt.

I bet these boots have an amazing history!











Vintage black leather thigh-high boots by Emilio Pucci sell for $250

These vintage designer black leather thigh-high boots by Emilio Pucci sold for their Buy It Now price of $249.99.  These beautiful boots were a size 38 and featured 4" metal heels with an impressive 26" Italian leather upper.  The seller stated that these were worn one time.

I'd never seen these boots before but have to admit that they're pretty impressive and appear to be very well-made.







The stitching detail on these was very impressive, too.



Interesting as this identical pair in the same exact size is currently listed with a Buy It Now price of $549 and shows considerably more wear on the soles.  However, I did like that this seller choose to show these cuffed as well.

Saint Laurent "Kate" designer black leather dress boots

These stunning "Saint Laurent" Kate black leather designer boots sold for an impressive $700.

These size 38 boots were listed as "new without box" even though the seller pictured them with what appears to be their original Saint Laurent box.

These boots were made in Italy and featured pull-on styling. I especially like the style of the heels and toes on these boots.  They can also be worn in this season's "slouchy" style.

These are quite possibly the quintessential "black leather dress boot" style that every woman should have in their closet!








An unusual style of belted black leather blazer by Vakko

This dressy vintage black leather jacket by Vakko sold for $50 plus pricey $21 shipping.

This size M leather jacket is a rare style I haven't seen before.  It's styled like a double-breasted blazer, but with a partial zipper closing instead of buttons and a belt.  I also like the long notched pointed collar.  The jacket also features gold buttons on the sleeves and pockets which make it look even richer.  And is usual for Vakko items, the leather looks buttery soft!

This would look great paired with a turtleneck, black skinny jeans and riding boots.
