I'm not totally comfortable with the bag or with authenticating it for several reasons.

1. Seller didn't post pictures of the actual item
2. Style is highly faked and closely faked
3. Every other bag of this style (4593) is on a site that is loaded with close fakes and in countries where known for peddling fakes.

Personally, if I were the buyer of the bag in the listing, I'd file a dispute for a return claiming SNAD (significantly not as described). The bag you received is not the one shown in the listing, thus making the SNAD claim valid.

I'm sorry but I can't say for sure whether it's authentic or not (based on what I've seen) but the seller wasn't honest in the listing.

Thanks much. The seller has agreed to the return so I'd rather send it back.

Hello:

I was wondering if you could help me out with these Sheridan bags.

Item: Coach Black Leather shoulder bag
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m70972505572/?ref=search_results
Seller: baileyscloset22

Item: Coach Sheridan Monticello
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/COACH-Vtg-Sheridan-Monticello-BlackBritish-Tan-60c5d2dfe107bbdfe6f404d9
Seller: luvinlex

Thank you so much!


1- genuine, and the seller's description is accurate.

2- genuine, but whoever created or added to that "What do the numbers mean?" page about a third of the way down messed up, and doesn't know how to read a Coach serial number. The "4" in the serial prefix indicates it was made in 1994, not 1998.

Thanks! Good to know about the numbers page.

Authentic. Great price! I bet a lot of people thought it was black from those pictures.
 
Hello! Wondering if someone could give me some guidance on this bag. Thank you in advance :smile:

Item:Coach ‘Colebrook’ briefcase laptop vintage bag
Seller and site where listed: ndthibeault on Poshmark

I believe that the bag is okay.

It looks as if Coach used (at least) 2 different stamps in 1995 at the H plant and though I didn't find another from October 1995 (as in the listing in question), I found another of the same style from a month later that appears to be done with the same stamp.
