My new metallic gold by Anya Hindmarch has had loads of compliments, from strangers.
Once I had a straw bag that looked like a grass skirt, from Target, and it was always getting compliments. My KVZ burgundy pleather bag gets lots of compliments too.
No one ever says a thing about my Pradas, or my LV's, or my Chanel. So I guess it goes to show that you don't have to spend a lot of money on your bags to get compliments!
