A nicely modeled leather trench sale from a favorite leather seller.
This leather trench meets all of the requirements for a classic trench style: double-breasted, epaulets, wrist strap detail, back vent, and a nice large collar. I think a collar can be a dealbreaker on a leather trench, as the right one can be turned up to protect against the cold winter winds or to add an air of mystery to an already mysterious look.

Some very nice vintage OTK boots get relisted with some great modeling
I think what helped the sale this time was that the seller posted several photos of the boots very nicely modeled. She modeled them with a skirt to show off a great work look and with jeans to show off a great casual look. A few of my favorite photos from this listing are below. Enjoy!
From her past listings, this seller has excellent taste in sexy boots and shoes!

A seller does well with three pairs of Wild Pair thigh-high boots, unworn and in their original boxes!
This pair in basic black sold for $157.51. I've always admired the clean lines of this style with no zippers and the ability to wear them cuffed.
This white pair in the same style as above sold for $162.51.
This pair in red fetched the highest price at an impressive $183.00.

A deal on rare vintage Dolce and Gabbana thigh-high boots!
I've watched these boots for years and everything I've seen indicates that the original retail was around $1,200 when they first appeared in the 1990s. The seller shows a price sticker of $1,115 on this pair. I saw these boots in a larger size sell for $460 a couple of seasons ago on eBay, so they do have good retail value in the right sizes. I also had a woman in Denver tell me she bought a pair at Loehmann's for $199!
What's unusual about this pair is the decorative chain detail around the ankles. I'm pretty sure it's not original and if I were to buy these, the chains would come off! I'm not against a simple ankle chain to add a little bling to boots, but this style is a little too over-the-top for me and detracts from these gorgeous boots.
These stunning boots arely appear on eBay, and more often in suede than smooth leather. It's also challenging to find pairs in larger sizes.
If you own these boots or want these boots as much as I do, please be sure to leave a comment!

A new glove seller does really well on eBay
A new glove seller has appeared on the eBay scene and is doing really well. “redeuxshop” has listed several pairs of long leather gloves recently. All have been nicely modeled and sold for good prices.
These size 7.5 French black leather opera gloves measured an impressive 30” long and sold for an even more impressive $216.50. If these are vintage, the seller appears to have identical pairs which have sold for $182.50 and $202.50.
These size 7.5 chocolate brown leather opera gloves also measured an impressive 30” and sold for $162.50.
These size 7.5 navy blue leather opera gloves also measured 30” and sold for a very impressive $205.50. I also like how this seller models her gloves with jewelry.
