I've studied pictures of the supposedly "legit" versions online and the zipper pull on this one is upside down (e.g. the "Tom Ford" is embossed on the leather pull the other way). Can anyone who actually purchased the small flap over zip bag officially from Tom Ford help me authenticate this? I'm not sure if it's because I have a slightly new version or not (note - this is NOT the one with the short zipper strap, it's the original style black Jennifer bag with adjustable strap).

The "Tom Ford" is only embossed on one leather pull. Can any of you confirm which zipper pull (if not both) your logo is embossed on?

Also, if you could post a picture of your embossed leather pulls, I'd truly appreciate it. I spent a LOT of money on this bag so I just want to know if I'm being taken. I also purchased this bag from an authorized dealer / sales associate, but who knows if THEY can even tell the difference.

Thanks so much in advance, ladies!

Just got my small flap bag in. There's only one zipper embossed with Tom Ford. It's the zipper pull on the flap. You should be able to read "Tom Ford" when the zipper is closed.

I just got my small flap bag from John at LV. Tried it on as a cross body and was a little disappointed. It's a little snug even on the last hole. Does anybody have any pictures of them wearing it cross body? I'd like to compare how it looks on other people. Or am I not setting the straps the correct way?

I'm really tall ~ 6Ft, so even if I set the double looped straps on the longest setting, the bag sits unfortunately high on my waist crossbody style. So I kind of have reconfigured it for the last week - without double looping the strap, it's single, and part of it sits over/across the flap from joint to joint (so it's kind of just like a large circle of strap). It's not perfect because, of course, it's meant to have the doubled straps. But it works. For some reason I feel confident that I tried on the small flap over at my local NM, and it fit fine on me crossbody. I may stop in there later and see how they set the strap up, lol. Theirs is in python and way out of my price range but man it's gorgeous. I'll let you know if I learn something exciting. I really do love the bag. The leather is amazing and I love the versatility of it.

I prefer the adjustable strap because it can be worn messenger style. I tried on the other style and while it was still pretty comfy, I can see it making my shoulder tired.

I've been using this TF bag for some months now and it's not a PITA at all! More low maintenance than Chanel and Celine in my opinion.
