USE IT!!!! A couple of years from now when silver is not going to be instyle you will regret not using it. Also if your getting compliments I am sure that makes you want to show it off even more. I just got back from a cruise and used the hell out of my damier azur keepall, it got so many compliments that I used it for everything during the trip! It makes me happy when someone takes a second to say "wow I never saw anything like that before! That is the coolest luggage piece!" So USE IT!
