The 1993 Spring catalog window introduces the Manhattan collection, described as Coach’s first major use of bright colors per FundingUniverse [fundinguniverse-coach]. This season is also the brand-published introduction date for the Sheridan Stewart Bag per the Coach.com vintage re-release page [coach-vintage-sheridan-stewart], placing Spring 1993 as a key disambiguation point for the Sheridan launch dispute.

What to look for when a scan is retrieved

• Cover and inside-cover models — likely a Manhattan-collection hero shot showcasing the new bright palette.
• Spring 1993 color palette — record every named color; this is the first catalog where bright colors are expected to dominate [fundinguniverse-coach]. Compare against the Spring 1992 palette to document the shift.
• Manhattan collection — every named Manhattan model and its style number; this is the central new-season feature.
• Sheridan Stewart Bag presence — if the Stewart Bag appears for the first time in this catalog, that corroborates the Coach.com 1993 introduction date and resolves the 1992-vs-1993 Sheridan dispute in favor of 1993 [coach-vintage-sheridan-stewart].
• Creed format examples on shown bags — era anchor for authentication entries.
