I've been carrying Chanel exclusively since the late 80s, so it's truly a staple. Occasionally someone will comment that they like my purse, but I never wonder does anyone notice my handbag (or any other Chanel item I may be wearing) coz I'm an airhead in some respects.
Last time I was at NM trying on shoes during a big sale, I had worn my vintage Chanel sneakers, high top Converse type. As I was trying on boots, my husband said women were eyeballing your Chanel sneakers. Thought it was humorous given they're at least 10 years old.
