My Marc by Marc Jacobs bags get more compliments than ANYTHING.
I get compliments on my MBMJ Percy bag every time I wear it. I think it's the color:
I also get compliments on this MBMJ Karlie bag every time I wear it.. it must be the silhouette of the bag. It is just so classic and beautiful. Perfect to wear to more formal events.

Like some people have said, I think people tend to compliment bags that they aren't familiar with, rather than iconic or more easily recognizable ones. Where I live, the most popular brands are LV, Hermes and Chanel - I've never had a comment on any of my classic flaps, though a couple of people have complimented a seasonal whipstitched flap that I bought earlier this year, mostly because it's quite a beautiful shade of burgundy.
My most complimented/noticed bags are:
- LV DE Neverfull GM (I think this is only because I had it personalized with Calvin & Hobbes painted on it, so that's a conversation starter)
- Givenchy Tricoloured Antigona (it's orange, navy blue and taupe - I don't know if it's the colours or the bag that get the attention!)
- Grey Fendi Petite 2jours

The Bagonghi by Roberta di Camerino.
This velvet bag was made out of fabric loomed in Italy on centuries-old equipment; it is incredibly soft and plush. The patterns and designs are woven into the velvet.
It was originally one of Grace Kelly's favorite winter bags, and for giggles, I attached a vintage photo of La Kelly.
Mine is a little bigger than the one in the pic.
Complements that I've received include, a reverently whispered, "Can I touch it..?", and if they have clean hands, they say "Oh! It's so soft!". "Wow!" and the ever popular, "That's a gorgeous bag." And even, "It's so fluffy, I want to die!"

Loooove it! What a gorgeous and unique bag! I may have to be on the lookout for one for my own collection, now!
I get stopped whenever I wear this customized Neverfull! Marilyn blowing a bubble! Can you even?
I was going to post the same thing! My kelly green KS Little MInka definitely gets the most compliments.
