Gio Hel Italian-made crotch-high boots


A boot seller in Florida sold these "new with box" Gio Hel Italian-made crotch-high boots with stiletto heels for a nice round $300.00. Someone got a great deal on these "extreme" boots, which the seller stated sell on the website for $1,250.

These boots were an unusually large size 12. Talk about making a statement, these boots feature 5" heels and an overall height of 36". They also feature the trendy red "Louboutin-style" soles. Kudos to the person who can carry off wearing these stunning boots!

Vintage Wild Pair boots


I've never been able to win a pair of one of my favorite styles of vintage Wild Pair boots. I've always liked the pull-on styling and cuffability of these boots.

Even though the seller couldn't identify these as Wild Pair brand, these size 7.5B boots sold for an impressive $107.49.

A deal on some sexy Wild Pair thigh boots




These size 9 vintage Wild Pair boots were originally listed with a starting bid of $95 and Buy It Now price of $125. When they didn't sell, the seller re-listed them and they were snapped up for $79.95. Especially with free shipping offered by the seller, I would have snapped them up at this price, too!

One of my all-time favorite Wild Pair styles, I especially like the pull-on styling, scroll detail, and sexy stiletto heels. And the leather sheen on these is great!

The seller said these were worn only a few times for Halloween parties. Interesting how sexy boots like this sometimes are worn only as part of a Halloween costume.

A deal on Classic Leatherwear opera gloves



At $102.50, someone got a decent deal on these rare Classic Leatherwear black leather opera gloves in an even rarer size 10. I've seen these 29" gloves sell for close to $200 several times on eBay. Per the attached price tag of $120.00, it looks like they were purchased at a thrift or consignment store.

Vintage 1970s gray leather jumpsuit



Nice to see this vintage 1970s gunmetal gray leather jumpsuit go for a very impressive $330.99.

No doubt the slim cut, military styling, and skinny legs helped increase the appeal of this item. I can only wonder what it would have sold for in basic black leather.

I especially like the stand-up collar and the skinny zippered ankles make it perfect for tucking into sexy boots.

Great leather dresses - even better modeling

You have to like the great modeling on these leather dresses. The attractive young blonde really adds to these auction listings.

This vintage size M North Beach Leather dress with removable straps sold for $174.50. In addition to the great modeling, kudos to the seller for including a photo of the dress originally modeled by Cindy Crawford.



For a totally different look, this size 7/8 Dali Melame Paris white leather dress sold for only $72.08. Love the elevator backdrop the seller used in these photos.


Classic Leatherwear vintage opera gloves


What Wild Pair is to vintage leather thigh-high boots, Classic Leatherwear is to vintage leather opera gloves.

At 27.5" long, they're some of the longest and roomiest vintage gloves I've ever come across. Interesting, as the seller listed them as either ladies' or mens' leather opera gloves.

These gloves rarely appear on eBay and when they do, almost always fetch a "collector's" price. Even worn, these size XL gloves sold for an impressive $150.99.
