Long black leather gloves continue to sell well

These NWT Nordstrom long black leather opera gloves from a past season (2008?) sold for a respectable $80.00, especially considering they were a size small.


These Italian-made Holt Renfrew black leather opera gloves sold for an impressive $130.27. They were a popular size 7.5, silk-lined, and measured 20" long. The seller said original retail was $180.00. I especially like the three rows of stitching detail on the back of the hand, although I wish the seller would have provided some more photos of these very nice gloves.

Another pair of high-end black leather opera gloves

Some lucky bidder got a pair of high-end black lambskin leather opera gloves by Lauren Urstadt for $106.57. These gloves were a very attractive size 8 and measured 23 1/8" long. The gathering at the wrists reminds me of the Classic Leatherwear detailing.

Kudos to glove seller "junkonsale" for offering another pair of fine long leather gloves and very nice photos to match!

Rare Biondini black leather chap boots

As someone who has always wanted to own a pair of Biondini boots, I originally thought I wanted these, especially when I saw they were close to my size (39). However, when the seller later added more photos of the actual "chap" detail, I decided that there was too much going on and I'd really prefer basic Biondini thigh-high boots. Besides, I've tried chap boots before and am not leggy enough to pull of the look.

These boots measure a whopping 35" tall and if the studded chaps weren't sexy enough, also feature gold metal spiked heels. They sold for $170.00.

Rare style North Beach Leather dress

Even in a size small, this rare style of vintage North Beach Leather dress sold for its starting bid of $225.00.

The dress actually zips from the high neck all the way down the left sleeve. I especially like how the high neck style lends itself to being worn like a turtleneck, cowl, or split collar.

Carolina Amato black leather opera gloves

Without a doubt, some of the nicest leather opera gloves I've seen on eBay, these new-without-tags Carolina Amato size 8 gloves sold for a very deserving $212.49.

Town & Country OTK boots still sell well

It's nice to see that the vintage 1980s Town & Country OTK boots still have selling power on eBay. These size 8 boots sold for $102.00.

Even though the seller measured these at 26" tall, they're an identical, but shorter, version of the Wild Pair black leather crotch boots.

Kudos to the seller for some great modeling!

Rock and roll OTK boots by Marc Jacobs

These size 7.5 Marc by Marc Jacobs over-the-knee boots sold for $137.50 - a deal considering the seller said she originally paid $800 for them and they were worn once.

The studded straps gives them a great "rock and roll" look. In my mind, some of the perfect "rock concert" boots which would look stunning paired with a tight black leather jacket and skinny jeans.
