hmmm...well I've ONLY received 1 official and (hopefully) sincere compliment so far of all my bags and it was for my Batignolles H.... (well...2...if you count the SA at LV and this....jerk on the street......*yuck*) Funny how it's one of my cheaper bags and THE most banged up one! lol I think for the more extravagant bags, people STARE, they're more intimidated and question its authenticity cuz I LOOK like a 12 year old.... so no one approaches me when I when them out....
