Hi =]
My aunt just gave my mom this bag...she said someone actuily gave it to her a while ago after they didnt like it anymore.... I thought I'd post some pic's here to make sure it is real, and also if anyone could tell me when this bag is from. my mom doesnt really like it but i think if I cleaned it up it would be nice...I took a lot of pictures so i think ill have to post more than once... thanks
If it's about 12x7x5 it's probably a Madison Satchel, or at least that was the name of the style in the late 80s. Nice bag, and definitely worth giving it a "bath" to bring it back. There are several posts here or up at the Coach forum, if you search "Coach bath" you should be able to find the instructions.

Just be careful of this seller coz I decided to confront him and ask for proof of purchase to be emailed to me since he offers 3 times money back if not authentic BUT surprise surprise, no response.
I have the same carryall in Black and I can tell you that there is something very strange about the quality of this bag - the handles are all floppy and soft, not like a proper Coach Carryall.
Both are fakes just like all their other keychains - if there's a way to report fakes at ecrater, go right ahead, all those are either fake styles or ripoffs with the wrong colors.

One of the zippers on the inside looks different, and no serial #.
Thoughts? Thanks!

I actually owned what is a very, very similar bag that I purchased on ebay. I had it authenticated on the ebay "purse board" a couple of years ago. Mine was a solid color but everything else looks the same.
I thought mine was a "Sheridan", since those are infamous for weird creeds with no numbers. Maybe that one is a Sheridan but I was told mine was from a short lived Coach line and nobody knew the exact name.
The seller doesn't list the measurements, but mine was huge (16 x 12 x 5) and way too big for me, so I gave it to my daughter in law for her laptop.
Yeah, there is 2 diff types of zippers used (one above the creed and the one in the middle) and I could probably sew the lining back together, but didn't know that they made those sans serial #'s of any type.I actually owned what is a very, very similar bag that I purchased on ebay.

It's definitely a Sheridan (BLAST! Why does the seller have to be a smoker?) but she doesn't list the measurements. If it's about 12x7 it's called a Wilmington Satchel. If there was a larger one made, I haven't seen it. There was a large briefcase called a Sumter Briefcase that was about 15x10 with a top handle, rounded flap and removeable shoulder strap though.
The leather, and not just the piping, looks pretty beat up and you really can't bring it back with Lexol. And if you use straight Lexol on a Sheridan, the residue collects in all those little "valleys" in the leather and it's a beetch to clean out.
The wallet is a Madison Checkbook Clutch, not a Sheridan. Oh, and probably a third of the Sheridan styles didn't have serial numbers on the creed. The style # for the satchel is 4227.
