Beautiful color! I agree with your observation that people tend to complement 'affordable' bags more. The bag I get most compliments on is a no brand turquiose blue tote that I use when the weather is bad. Its nice to get the compliments but it kindda feels bad as well cus this no brand $30 bag gets more attention than my KS, MBMJs , Coach etc. :amuse::thinkin:

Not sure if it's the affordable bags, but I have noticed most compliments I receive are for bags that aren't very commonly seen and are subtly branded (Tod's and Reed Krakoff).

maybe it's also color that attracts the compliments? like with orange or turquoise those colors are rare(er) and will draw interest more than a basic black bag. i don't think i've ever had a black bag get any attention.

I could run around wearing nothing more than my personality and one of my LVs and not get a comment, but interestingly enough a lot of women compliment me on my MK Gathered Totes. As another poster mentioned, it may have something to do with brand familiarity or the sense that an item that they like is also affordable...jealous people either stay quiet or you wished that they had stayed quiet.

My Louis Vuitton vernis Alma in Grande Bleu gets a lot of attention. I think it's the color that draws people in - the blue is so striking! It actually sparkles in the sun! And now that I think about it, it's time to bust that beauty out again!

My Empreinte Montaigne in Noir. People say, "That's a gorgeous LV you're carrying." Also my Alma PM in Carmine. People would comment, "Wow, that's such a gorgeous red!"

My Tory Burch quilted Ella tote. It's unique in that it's quilted and it's in a eggplant/purplish color (sorry, I do not know the name). It's by no means my favorite or most expensive bag. I actually wound up with it because I returned a gift from an ex that was purchased at Tory Burch! Anywho, I've been stopped on the subway multiple times by strangers complimenting this bag.

My Dooney & Bourke Small Florentine Satchel in Plum always gets compliments. It's got to be the color, and maybe it's just a perfect match for the style too. Even my late husband told me it was a beautiful bag when I first got it. He was almost immune to all my bags LOL so for him to notice, it surely is special.
