When I came across this Crescent Bag I really had to do a double take; it is in such good condition, I couldn't believe it was a pre registration number bag, dating to the 70s; made in Coach's original New York City Factory, before they even started glueing in registration numbers! I mean, that's a true symbol of the vintage Coach bags' enduring quality. The full grain leather is thick, the edging is thick, and it is a true Coach Classic...So much so that it was in Coach's collection for 20 years! It later got sort of reincarnated as the Saddle Bag, which had a longer strap. This bag is meant to be worn as a shoulder bag and to hug the side when worn.

~CONDITION:
Excellent vintage condition! Wow, I wish I was in as good shape as this bag. There are minor marks on the front flap (zoom in to pics to see-- they are small), but no worn edges or popped stitches. There is what I thought was a magic marker mark on the inside bottom, but I actually believe it was a mark made on the original hide (so cool!) when the bag was created. I did go ahead and clean the leather with a PH balanced cleaner, and conditioned it because it was pretty dry. It is now ready to head off to its new home to be loved for the piece of Coach history that it is!
As always, I do have additional photos, and am always happy to answer any questions you may have.
