I don't recognize it. Is it in your possession? Can you post a picture of the lining and creed? The design features don't look like a typical Sheridan. The zipper and zipper pulls aren't what we normally see on Sheridans. The shape of the buckle doesn't match the buckles on Sheridans.

I do not see a creed on the inside so now I am guessing it is a fake. Are there any purses without creeds that are real? I received it as a gift a while back.

So the ONLY place it says Coach is on the hangtag? That doesn't do a thing to prove it's a real Coach. That brass hangtag design isn't even from the same decade as the Sheridans, much less a genuine Sheridan hangtag. Anything removeable like a hangtag can NEVER prove a Coach is real.

The zipper pulls are wrong, the lining - if that IS a fabric lining - is wrong, and Coach never made any Sheridan or other style with that kind of leather and trim that looks anything like your "gift". Someone stuck a real or fake Coach hangtag on a generic purse and tried to scam either you or your gift-giver. Please take that hangtag off.

I think it isn't a Coach. Coach did make some small purses without creeds. All the Sheridans had creeds. It doesn't look like a Sheridan because Sheridans have leather zipper pulls and the outer zippers are a heavy duty plastic (not nylon like yours). Coach zippers always have stops at both ends, yours don't. The inside pocket zipper should also have stops. The leather on the trim of Sheridans isn't that red and it doesn't have a mottled appearance. It is a smooth tan leather. Sheridans have tan lining, not black.

I don't see any Coach markings on your bag. I don't think it is a counterfeit. It just isn't a Coach.

It looks more like 'garnet'. This is from the 1995 Holiday catalogue.

According to the catalogs, Garnet wasn't available until 1995. The picture of the Spence that I posted in post 9446 was from the 1993 Fall catalog.

This is from the Late Autumn 1994 catalog and the red is still called Cherry. Don't depend on catalog - or sellers' - photo colors to be accurate.

Thanks Hyacinth. There's a marked difference in the colour. The 1994 looks red. Must be the printing I guess.

The bag on the left. It used to belong to a TPF member, but she doesn't have the bag anymore and doesn't remember the name or style number. Does anyone know? I thought I was drooling over #10223 until I saw this one without the Cs!
