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. View attachment 2824910

I remember seeing this one back when it was released and thought it looked pretty snazzy. I loved the "fishing" vibe of it (sort of casual/relaxed but at the same time refined).

Still gets most compliments & still my favorite bag.
 
Probably my metallic fuchsia Rebecca Minkoff. It stands out so much and is so loud. I don't know if people really like or just fooling with me. NO matter. I love it anyway and smile every time I look at it.

I'm glad so many people like this bag! I'm going to start using it more often. I just have to take time to think out of the box. I'm always wondering what to wear with it.

I'm a little more boho than classic Chanel. The last time I wore it with an embroidered red, black & white dress. Maybe that's why it gets compliments, because it's unexpected from the typical "Chanel"?
 
My etoupe birkin but honestly, I think it has more to do with the fact it is a birkin than the way it looks. Men and women, teenagers to women in their 50's. Everyone comments on it
 
Whenever I carry my Stella McCartney Falabella bags I always get a compliment. People just seem to really like the look of the bags :)
I am considering getting a Stella McCarteny evening bag. Not sure which one though, found a cross body bag at Bloomies yesterday but it was way too small. Looking for suggestions for a bag that is a little bigger easy to carry either cross body or handbag.. and I LOVE the gray color... Would welcome suggestions.. I am on my way to search the malls today :)
 
I think people feel too intimidated to comment on my designer bags but I always get a thumbs up on my Frye Deborah studded tote. It's a vintage glazed floppy tote but something about the casualness that catches their eye.
 
I usually get most compliments on my Michael Kors Selma in summer blue (most people love the color) and last week as I was shopping, a lady stopped me on the street to ask me what brand one of my Moschino bags was. I told her it's Moschino and she told me she liked it a lot.
