Crescent Bags
The crescent is the shape WESTBRONCO started with, and it is still the one we make most. A curved base follows the line of the hip instead of swinging away from it, and a short strap keeps the load high on the shoulder where you can carry it for longer.

The crescent is the shape WESTBRONCO started with, and it is still the one we make most. A curved base follows the line of the hip instead of swinging away from it, and a short strap keeps the load high on the shoulder where you can carry it for longer.
Quilting does the structural work, so a crescent holds its curve without a frame or a base board. Empty, it folds soft against you. Full, it takes a phone, a wallet, keys and a pair of sunglasses without changing shape.

Straight answers
Crescent Bags: questions we get
Why is the strap so short?
Because a short drop puts the bag under the arm, where your torso helps carry it. A long strap lets the bag swing at the hip, and a swinging bag pulls at the shoulder twice with every step.
Does it stand up on its own?
No. A quilted crescent with no frame slumps softly when it is empty. That is the trade for the weight.
What is a ruched handle?
A gathered handle that spreads under load instead of folding into a cord. It is softer on the shoulder than a flat strap, and the pieces that have one say so in the name.
