My Ted Baker bag (pictured is the smaller version with a messenger strap): mine is the large size (w/o strap). I love this bag as much as it attracts attention. But the leather is crap, the corners are worn, and there's a major scratch on the handle. I always worry about the bag losing its structure too. But for some stupid reason, I want to overlook this so I can justify buying the same bag in blush pink.

I get compliments for all my bags but this one is their favourite as it's small and very cute. Very stylish they said.

At its peak, this Coach scarf print tote #11117 was a conversation piece.

Nowadays, it can be found in my "retired" bin. [emoji20]
 
Definitely my bamboo handle Gucci. Every time I use it I get tons of compliments. It is the world to size and I can use the small bamboo handle or the crossbody/shoulder strap. It's the best bag!
 
My D&B satchel also garners the most compliments out of all of my handbags. Compliments or threats of being stolen lol!! I had one lady tell me if she saw me set it down she would grab it and run she loved it so much. I took that as the highest compliment. It is a beautiful bag and very well made. :)

I'll say it's a tie between these two. My Coach UV Molly and my MK carnation Miranda. I think it's the vivid colors that draw people.

Gorgeous! Love the colors and styles!


Although, I have a Toledo Blue Alma PM, I typically stick to basic colors. But lately however lately I've been yearning for some more color. These beauties might send me over the color edge. :smile1:

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 idea of having a NF personalized with a personalized graphic is wonderful. This is my trigger to purchase one. Would you mind sharing where you had your graphic done?
