I was lucky enough to find a Classic Leather Shoulder Bag #17994 (looks like Penny) in Lime at my local outlet. Now, the care card says that it is made of burnished leather and site says that it is Retro Glove Tan leather.
So is there any difference between the two leathers as far as cleaning and conditioning (if at all) and do these two leathers age differently?
Could I use Apple Guard on it? TIA

It's very similar to Dooney's Norfolk:

I like D&B too. Who copied who?

Thank you! This is my favorite Sheridan and my favorite Sheridan color.

I though you were a red gal?

I don't think there is a difference in how you care for it. The burnished leather is supposed to look aged. I think Apple Guard will work for whichever it is.

Thank You, Whateve! I'll treat it with Apple conditioner and Apple Guard.
Leather definitely doesn't look aged, maybe there was a wrong care card included...

I think Coach copied Dooney. Dooney was making bags with this kind of leather in the 80s. I don't know when they came out with the domed satchel shape. I really admire the quality of the Dooney bags. They were using solid brass hardware into the 90s, long after Coach quit. I have a Dooney large surrey and it is super nice.

I love Coach red glove-tanned leather, but on the two tone Sheridans, I love the contrast between the tan trim and the green. I like the black too. I think it because those two colors really bring out the red tones in the tan. And I already have too many red bags!

That's what I was thinking. I don't think I would want lime to be aged.

There are some stunning D&B's. It's probably my favourite brand after Coach but I sold them all to pay for my Coach bags!

I agree that the contrasting tan does look better with green and black, but can you really ever have too many red bags?!

My first ever designer bag was the Dooney Norfolk Satchel in british tan AWL...my husband gave it to me in the mid 80's. I had it until a couple of months ago. I didn't want to sell it but it was just too heavy for me to carry now. Some days I still miss it...it still looked great and I know I carried it every day for at least two years or more. LOL I still like Dooney though.

Hi everyone!
I'm new here and even newer to coach purses. I bought won this Coach purse on e-bay recently and and did not realize that it is a "mini" coach purse. The leather is soft and supple and a really beautiful brown-cognac with just enough minimal wear/ patina on it that it has that boho vibe I was looking for: graucho:... I was just expecting a larger bag in the mail when I received it. My question to you all you wonderful experts that you are out there... any idea it this is the real deal? The quality of the leather is beautiful, soft and supple and the zipper is unusually fine quality that I've never seen in a bag... I noticed however that there is NO number on the Creed. Does this mean I have a fake on my hands? Any help with any info would really help! Thank you so much in advance! https://www.etsy.com/listing/172817677/vintage-coach-purse-beautiful-caramel?ref=shop_home_active_9

The link you posted is not the bag you bought. We need to see pictures or a link to the listing of the bag you bought. Smaller bags often don't have a number. Post your information in the authenticate thread here: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-855067.html

We've always said that Coach never used silver hardware before 1997, but then I found these two.

The seller lists the metal color of the first Retro Lindy as brass or gold, and the catalog says it has a gold-plated steel frame. So either the color is photographing as silver or the plating has worn off and the steel is showing through

Just confirming that all Sonoma bags have a 49 at the start of the style number?

If so what is this one, please?

I do believe that's called a HUDSON LUNCH TOTE.

Thanks. I just noticed that she posted that in the listing, but when I asked her about it, she told me it was silver. It just looks so shiny that I didn't expect it to be the undercoat. Maybe the gold-plating doesn't hold up like brass. In the second listing, I think I see some gold around the kisslocks and loops, which indicates you are right.
