It's a Sheridan, either a Glenwood or a Mayfield. You can tell the difference between Sheridans and Dakotas easily by looking at the lining. Dakotas have suede lining, Sheridans have cloth.

It's a Sheridan Mayfield style 4224 from 1992 or 1993.

The Dakotas were the first of the pebbled Dooney look-alikes, were unlined, and had a square grain, like little boxes. Maybe the unusual grain was to distinguish them from Dooneys? (At least I THINK the Dooney AWL was a rounded grain, I've never owned one.). Dakotas had the old style 4+3 all numeric serial numbers and sometimes had no serial numbers at all, and were made between 1991 and 1993. The inside pocket was usually some kind of suede.

The Sheridans came a year later and were lined with a taupe color grosgrain-type fabric, with the typical rounded grain of most Coach pebbled leather. They were introduced in 1992 and discontinued in late 1994 or maybe very early 1995 and could have a variety of serial number configurations including no number at all. The one kind of serial number they would never have is the 5 or 6 number fake Korean serial without the "No" in front of it, there were a lot of Korean fakes trying to look like Sheridans.

Here's a catalog page showing both the Mayfield and the Glenwood, the Mayfield is the smaller one:
