I was at the boutique and was able to inspect both bags. My honest opinion is that the silver is too plain and actually doesn't look like leather to me. The gold was wayyyyyy too much of a yellowish sunflower gold, it was not attractive at all to me. In all honesty, it looks like the metallic bags from babyphat or XOXO.
The only thing I have to compare these to are the miroir lockits. I waitlisted for the Silver suhali, but when i got the chance to get the silver miroir, I did. Now that I have seen the silver suhali, I am REALLY glad I chose the Miroir over this. The gold miroir is a lighter color gold than the suhali, and I like the lighter gold than the sunflower gold color of the suhali. My SA told me that no one who waitlisted (myself included) actually liked either bag when they came in, so needless to say, both colors were still at the store.
This is just my personal opinion, so if you like the metallic suhali lockits, more power to you, enjoy them and wear them well, etc......
