None of my bags get attention. Haha

The one comment that resonates though was “nice leather bag” compliment when I was carrying my black Bal Weekender. My coworker noticed the leather (and size!), so I thanked her and sheepishly replied it’s vintage.

It's very much 3-way close-run thing between a Gucci Bamboo Top-handle, Gunmetal intrecciato TM-era Cervo Hobo (haven't worn that much this year, but I've often used it all Summer long) and surprisingly, my Bambou GP Garden Party, I suppose because of the colour and lining-print. I guess it's interesting that all of these bags have no obvious logos or sig-prints to alert people to their 'birthplace' so I feel the compliments are entirely earned (by the bag).

Interesting point: In Hermes, my Gucci Bamboo Top-handle gets admired at every turn by SAs and even customers, while at at Gucci any Hermes bag I'm carrying.
 
My black LV épi speedy 30 and my black plain leather Gucci Abbey tote.
As someone said before, the absence of logos makes me feel the compliments are sincere.
I think the funniest moment was at H, when I was trying a bag in front of a mirror I could see a SA doing his best to read the faded Gucci stamp from afar, instead of just asking
