Do men actually notice a woman's accessories?

When I was hanging out with my bf, I brought a different hand bag with me that he didn't see. He never complimented my handbags ever but he always admires my style, telling me I dress "classy". This caught me off-guard when he said "You have a nice bag, when did you get it?" like he was genuinely admiring the texture and the design. We only started dating 4 months now for additional context.

So my question is, do guys actually notice the accessory their woman carries? I never expected a man to compliment my choice in accessories. He does occasionally compliment my clothing choices but an accessory was new to me. I thought men generally don't notice all these things...

Edit: Since many comments suggest that this behaviour is borderline gay, here's some context - I was asking him to take something out of my bag to hand it over to me, so when he dug for my stuff, he took a closer look at my bag and told me this.
