Genuine but I'm not sure which size it is, even with the measurements. But it's from the early 1990s.

The bag was made in 1993 or very early 1994, and still has the old-style serial number. The measurements convert to about 11 x 8 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches US, which is close to Coach's measurements for that style, so your identification is probably correct.

Read the six Coach Salearea Guides posted here for accurate information on creeds, serial numbers, and other Coach details:

SaleArea guides

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

Hi, authenticators,
I understand that the Sheridan line from the early-mid 90s was copied a lot in Korea, resulting in a lot of fake Sheridans floating around. I’d appreciate help in checking whether the following bags are authentic:

1) platform: Poshmark
Seller: Swanish
Bag name: Sheridan Glenw
# 4KM-4225 (The creed says “made in Costa Rica.” The country of manufacture is written below the rest of the creed - I saw this on another Sheridan bag but haven’t seen it on any other Coach style unless it says “Made in the United States. Also, the dash looks too long between the two groups of numbers in the creed.)
Size: 11 x 8 x 4”

2) platform: Poshmark
Seller: Pamelafab
# 1096-177 (It must have been made in ‘92 or ‘93)
Sheridan Mayfield ?
11 x 8 x 3.5”

3) platform: eBay

'90's USA COACH AWL Blue Leather, Sheridan Monticello Crossbody Shoulder Bag EUC | eBay

This is a classic USA made Coach, all weather leather, shoulder bag, done in a deep blue color. Model number inside is B4B 4226. This one I've used off and on, but never abused it, always taken care of.
www.ebay.com
?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=4EuvFXwSRaK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=WgbA_SMBTwi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Seller: La-duderina
# B4B-4226 (made in ‘94 in the US)
Sheridan Monticello
Size not given in the listing. But Monticellos were 9.5 x 8 x 4.75”.

I know the Monticello came in blue but the others I’ve seen don’t appear to be this bright blue. ?? Could be the camera or lighting, I suppose. What do you think?

I looked for the sellers’ names here and didn’t find them.

Thanks,
Lucy

I'm having computer problems and can only open the 2nd and 3rd listings' creed photos, so I hope one of the other authenticators will look at the creed and serial photos to verify the details I can actually see.

1- genuine Glenwood, made in 1994 according to the description of the creed supplied by the poster.

2- genuine, probably made in 1992 or 1993. I can't open or see any photos of the sides or base so it's hard to pin down the style. Seller calls it a Mayfield but posted the measurements for a Glenwood. The larger Glenwood like the red one being asked about above has a strip of smooth tan leather that wraps all around the sides and base of the bag, but the smaller Mayfield doesn't. The proportions of the bag seem more like the larger Glenwood's, a copy of a photo of the side from the strap to the base or just the bottom would help. A photo of both styles together is below, click on the thumbnail.

3- genuine, from 1994. The bright blue color in almost all the photos isn't accurate. the blue is probably a slightly lighter shade of Navy than than the 2 bags in the catalog photo below from what I remember, but it's DEFINITELY not any shade of turquoise or aqua, those photos are probably heavily over-lighted. The 10th photo showing the front of the bag with a vertical ruler to show the height is the closest to the actual blue (navy) color.

There's also a DIFFERENT Monticello listing from another seller where the blue color is more accurate:

Thanks, Hyacinth. I like the brighter blue but doubted that it was correct, so I’m glad I asked about it!
