Which handbag have you gotten the most compliments on?

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
Abso love that givenchy and fendi! I too have the neverful with out graphic love it
 
Long time winners: Celine case bag in electric blue/chestnut and the 2D cartoon bag (I wear this with a simple pantsuit to the office sometimes when I feel bored and don't have important/serious meetings. it is deceiving and fits ALOT, like my laptop and files, etc.).

But lately, the iridescent mermaid boy bag with rainbow hardware is getting me stopped a lot by strangers. :love:

Regardless of the brand, it seems people in general love bright colours and men like sturdy leather functional bags.

As for me, I get most complements for my Alexander Wang Rocco with Rose Gold HW in latte pebbled leather. I even had an old lady comment. It is my cheapest bag. I bought it on sale :laugh:

This one gets the most compliments, probably because of the bright color - my LV Mott. I've replaced the vachetta strap with a no-name chain I got off eBay.

A $16 bag I bought from the Portabello Market in London, orange with sequins (and I never carry or wear oranges usually). I love that I get most of the compliments on the unique, less-expensive bags I have 😛
