Back then, Coach management actually respected people who had made an impact in their chosen fields and saw the value of featuring them in their catalogs, unlike the last 15 years or so when the models seem to have been chosen based on how young they looked and how skinny they were or how well they could make Big Pouty Lips. (Obviously, I'm much more in awe of the first group than the second, and GS has always been a heroine of mine). The same catalog also featued Alek Wek, a British model born in South Sudan who was one of the first black supermodels, novelist John Irving, and on the cover, "Moose", who played Eddie on "Frasier".

The Spring 1998 book included jazz singer Cassandra Wilson, actress Milla Jovovich, screenwriter and TV news reporter Serena Altschul, businessman Doug Lloyd, model and athlete Neil Fenton, and ABT ballerina Julie Kent.

A pretty impressive list for a handbag catalog! I think the Cahns would have approved.

Thank you sooooo much Hyacinth! For taking the time post this information!

Hi all! First post so please let me know if I made a mistake. Can one of you please authenticate this bag?

Item: Coach purse
Seller: Divinethrifts
Link: https://posh.mk/X4KsU99om5
Comments: I'm still learning about Vintage Coach but doing some research I think this is a Vintage Glenwood Bag from the Sheridan Collection. I was skeptical because this style and leather seem to resemble Vintage Dooneys rather than Coach but I really liked the all black style and for the price, I took a chance and bought it. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to newbies!

I want to let you know you aren't being ignored but I (personally) don't promote nor recommend Poshmark so I don't authenticate requests that are listed on the site. When fakes are listed and sellers don't do the honest thing, I do offer occasional commentary that shows why I feel as I do toward the site and so many of the sellers there.

Poshmark has a long record of ignoring reports of counterfeit items, NEVER removing those fakes, accusing honest sellers of authentic items of listing fakes and giving buyers a hard time when those buyers file disputes after receiving fakes and banning members who let sellers know that items aren't authentic.

Perhaps someone else is willing to comment on the bags.

Thank you for responding! I appreciate it.

I have been trying to search the secondary market for a saddle bag since I was quite late to the game. The saddle bag 23 have been discontinued since and the only way to get one is going through the pre loved route.

I am very impressed with Coach and was drooling over their bags recently. They look so timeless and seems affordable for the kind of quality that they put out.

Thank you for your kind reply and I agree on your views about Poshmark. I will certainly bear that in mind. I will do more research about the bag that I want to buy and if in doubt, don’t buy.

I understand and have no issue with buyers or sellers of preloved items when those items and sellers are on sites that take action on reports or sellers who respond and end listings when informed that they've listed a fake.

Unfortunately, a lot of sellers who seem to know that PM doesn't give a horse's patottie about fakes and after being unable to list on safer sites go there to peddle their fakes.

If you find items you're interested in on other sites, I'll look at them.

It looks ok but I don't have any information on it. There's only one listed on Ebay and the seller is calling it a Chelsea. There are a few links on Google referring to it as a Signature Poppy Jacquard Backpack.

While I feel the same digust with Poshmank and many of their sellers as BeenBurned, I'll usually still authenticate their items but I'd never recommend buying from them.

It's a genuine Sheridan Glenwood made in 1994

Thank you so much! I really do appreciate you both taking the time. I'll definitely shy away from Poshmark Coach purchases.

Thank you so much ! Just today I quit carrying a purse, I have a small washable Zip Pencil pouch that is now a clutch. Much easier to sterilize.
Stay well

Good morning, everyone,
Would you please authenticate these two?

Item: I have no idea, I have not seen this before. Can anyone tell me, if it is authentic, what this bag is?

Thank you!

Both are authentic. The first is a mini pouch 9740.

This one looks good.

ETA: I don't know if it was called Lily. Lily was a different style. This style was only made for outlet.
