All of my bags get compliments because I RARELY purchase the common bags that everyone is wearing, so many ppl want to know exactly what bag I am wearing because you don't see them often on the street. However, there are two styles of bag that generate a lot of excitement.
Limited Edition Gucci Stirrup Top handle bag in Cherry Ombre leather [ppl have literally chased me out of meetings, and stopped me in the street to inquire about this bag]. I have this in two other colors [white and camel...officially ivory and cuir that get compliments, but not like the Cherry]
Dooney & Bourke Alto Giovanna bags
Gosh!!! This bag is totally Gorgeous!
I just bought this bag and people break their necks to compliment it - D&B Alto Evelina. Only $450 on sale. Nothing is said when I wear my most expensive bags (black Chanel & Prada).
I really think it's about visual impact. The brighter the color or more unique the shape, the more compliments my bag gets. Or do I seem more approachable for comment with a bag at a price point most can afford. hmmmmm....

my loooooooooove the Evelina. I WILL have this bag in Bone and Natural before the end of the year [hopefully before the end of the summer]
+2. People notice what is trendy and new and different, and designer branding doesn't mean much to casual observers. Classic styles that have been around for generations don't garner much attention.+1. I get compliments on my Coach, Kate Spade, Betsey Johnson bags not a thing on my higher-end pieces...
As far as getting compliments, nothing beats a Kate Spade.
Even though it's new, almost every day I take my Chanel Boy out someone has said something. I get a lot of compliments and also a lot of people who touch my bag or comment on the price.
Today at dinner the couple next to me started talking about my bag in another language thinking I didn't understand and then started questioning me about it and how old I was, what I did for a living, etc.
My Vernis Alma BB also gets a lot of compliments but mostly on its color. People tend to like red bags.

I would probably compliment this as well! I love orange by Hermes. I was looking at an orange piece (not B) myself recently but ended up passing on it because I can't see a bright color matching anything I own. But it was really a beautiful color and I keep having second thoughts. H does orange like no other.
