The Crescent Saddle is a sculptural half-moon shoulder bag from Coach’s Cashin era — riding the Gen-Z crescent-bag trend and commanding genuine collector prices.
Quick answer: a genuine vintage Coach Crescent Saddle Bag (style 9235) in good condition typically sells for $150–$450. Pre-creed NYC examples in a rare color (navy, bottle green, mustard) sit at the top of the range.
What the Crescent Saddle Bag is
A late-1960s-to-1970s Bonnie Cashin-era design, the Crescent Saddle has a distinctive half-moon silhouette in heavy glove-tanned leather. Many are pre-creed (no lettered date code), NYC-made.
How to identify it (style 9235)
Check the inside creed for style number 9235 after the dash (e.g. K8P-9235). The code should be indented and the tab stitched in. Confirm the year and style with the Creed Decoder and run the authentication checklist. For Cashin-era pieces, many are pre-creed with no lettered code — date by hardware and creed wording (see the eras guide).
