I saw this post and forgot to comment on it. I recently saw the post again, late to the party, from the Coach for the Holidays ‘99 catalog . . .

Do these bags have an official name? I've always called them Saddle Bags, but I don't know if Coach called them that.
I have two. One has creed, and the other one has just the cartouche imprinted into the leather. I don't know how to measure them, but they are roughly 10x10 when I measure in the middle.

It is called the Crescent Bag. I don’t have the style #handy. They were reissued in the 90’s, in approximately the same dimension, without the center seam on the flap, as the Saddle Bag, #9988.
For that time frame, it looks like they offered two? three? sizes of a similar shaped bag without a turn lock. They were officially named Saddle Bags. I have the Saddle Bag Large, with a cartouche.

Sure thing. If you search Crescent, someone is bound to have posted the catalog pic.
Off the top of my head, maybe 9 inches by 9 inches? I would have to see if I have it in my notes. Maybe someone else can chime in.
I had one once - confirming the small saddle bag was about 9 by 8 inches (slightly wider than it is tall).
This isn’t my pic, but it is the bag that was briefly mine
It's one of those styles that I want to like, but it just isn't big enough for me. I get migraines and need to carry around a water bottle in case I need to take my medicine. I cannot fit a water bottle into that bag along with the other stuff I need, and I don't feel like I carry all that much. It seems like it would be super-comfortable to carry, and I like how it hugs your body.
I have a Saddle Bag in black, and it's reverse suede buddy, the Berkeley Flap, in Mahogany. But I have come to the conclusion I need to rehome them. I can't just open and maneuver getting into the open area of the bag easily, like I can with other bags.
