I have a Chanel runway bag that I regretted buying just because it was on sale. I didn't carry it for 2 years just because it's so odd looking. Then, I decided to pull it out one day. I think 15 people stopped me to compliment that bag. I thought maybe it was a fluke, so I wore it again about a year later. Again, everyone stopped me to ask where I got it. It's this bag. It really is cooler in person. ImageUploadedByPurseForum1417868908.098022.jpg

What a gorgeous bag, Rharris!
 
I think I get more compliments when I carry a brighter colored bag - two come to mind - my dark plum MJ Blake and my coral RM Cupid. Also green PS Keepall.
If I go to a store that carries designer bags, the SAs will often notice a bag I'm carrying too.

That chanel doe - amazing!
 
I only have two bags that I frequently get compliments on. One is a Ferragamo that is a beautiful dark blue with a metallic/pearly sheen and people tend to compliment the color. The other is an Hermes Birkin that was a special order and I was able to choose the colors of the bag. It's a fairly boring shade of taupe on the outside, but the inside is hot pink and that seems to catch people's eye.

I think that bright colored bags, regardless of the designer, draw the most attention and therefore the most compliments.
