Pre Creed Coach Bag Real or Fake?

Hello everyone, I recently found this vintage coach bag and I don’t know much about authenticating vintage coach bags and was hoping someone could help me out. Something that stuck out to me though was that the coach stamp on the tag was a bit crooked. Not sure if that was just a manufacturing error or a sign of a counterfeit. I will post a link below to imjur with a post of all my pictures. https://imgur.com/a/CyaCJHG

An Idea for eBay Vintage

Not sure if any Ebay employees or higher up staff even read these, but here goes my pitch... Ebay already has "Ebay Motors" which is beyond a simple category and is kind of its own site within a site, promoting vehicle parts and accessories, and they also have Kijiji. It would be insanely awesome if Ebay came up with "eBay Vintage", for vintage, antiques & collectibles... hear me out. Ebay could effectively provide a spin off site within a site that when click it brings you to a landing page reminiscent of eBay home page circa 1999 / 2000 era. The logo, the site layout. Bring back the vintage / collectibles categories that were stripped and remove useless "item specifics" (90% of which do not apply to vintage / antique items anyways). No need for categories for modern electronics / gadgets etc... just those categories under the vintage / antique / collectible realm as they were back then. Make the site look like it did back in the day, give buyers who shop those types of items the vintage eBay experience! It would be fun for buyers and it may also bring back a lot of those quality vintage & antique dealers who left over the years due to changes. Keep the fact that you can add photos obviously, and keep Buy It Now as it was introduced in time for the 2000 holiday season but perhaps put some sort of incentive to push auction listings, as they were more prevalent. Bring back the little burning match icon next to auctions that had multiple bids and move them up organically in the search results and category pages. Remove "Best Match" as a default search sorting option, that wasn't a thing back then and completely unnecessary for vintage, let buyers search and explore categories to find items the way it used to be. There are so many possibilities to have fun with this idea. Anyways, just wanted to put my thoughts into words, if anyone from Ebay sees this I'd love to hear your thoughts and if you are a vintage / antique seller, your thoughts as well.

Vintage or Antique

"The difference comes down to age: antiques are at least 100 years old, while vintage items are typically 20 to 99 years old" And I have problems labeling something from the 80's as vintage let alone something from any 2000 year. I guess I am well into vintage but at least have a way to go to reach antique status.

MARKETING AND ADVERTISING
I have been using marketing, but I am an individual not a store so I can't afford for any item to be at 12%. I put in no more than 10% on anything because if I do it eats up all of my profit. After putting in the percentage after clicking off it changes to a higher amount on its own. I just sold an item for $100 after the 12% that it is taking all on its own because I put 10%, I now have given the item away for free, but marketing and eBay still made a profit. How do I stop that from happening? I love eBay, marketing and for giving me an easy platform, but come on! I have been wondering if marketing was worth it?

In search of a vintage Castelli Romani Blouse / Shirt

Hi folks! I recently visited a 2nd street reuse shop in Osaka - Japan, it had amazing vintage finds from vintage Tom Ford to Issey Miyake, I picked up this shirt and swore I would come back the day after if it was still on my mind, unfortunately it was gone by the time I got back and now I'd love to find it again or something similar! Looking for any ideas or keywords on what to search to find something similar, it was giving a 90s, Enya, soft tech look and feel, slight ice dye, cloud pattern, beautiful steel blues, powder blues and lilac tones, the label says, 'Castelli Romani' however this returns a big designer market in Italy rather than a specific brand, there's a dreamy embroidery of three Zebras on the front, the material is super soft, I thought perhaps a cotton/silk blend but any ideas on the fabric too would be super appreciated! Thank you in advance internet!!

Help Identifying and Valuing a Handwoven Lidded Basket

Hi everyone, I recently came across this beautiful handwoven lidded basket and would love some help identifying it. It appears to be made of natural fibers, possibly sweetgrass or a similar material. The basket has a unique shape with a tiered lid and a finial top. It measures approximately 8 inches tall and 6 inches wide. I believe it may be vintage or handmade in a traditional style, but Iâ€™m unsure of its origin or age. Based on preliminary research that Iâ€™ve done, it could possibly be Indigenous, Gullah, or a similar type of origin. If anyone recognizes this type of weaving or has insight into what region or culture it may come from, Iâ€™d greatly appreciate it! Iâ€™d also love any guidance on its potential value if you have experience with similar pieces. Iâ€™ve attached a photo for reference. Thanks in advance for any help!

I purchased this more than 10 years ago at a flea market, and it was already an older piece, so my guess is that it is vintage. I didn't receive any information at the time about it's origin unfortunately. Iâ€™ve attached links to photos I took for reference. Thanks in advance for any help!
