I couldn't read that Marie Claire article as anything other than deliberately flip. Okay, pointed and flip. It felt more like a "go out and do, don't be routine for no reason" article.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If all my luggage is black, does that count as matching?
You know, I've thought about buying matching luggage, but with the way that airlines treat luggage, why spend the money?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, wasn't it framed as "should get," not "must have"? Everyone should get a lot of money! God knows I'd like to!

I have matching luggage.
It's thirty year old purple American Tourister with pink satin lining that I got at a thrift store. I adore it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The last piece of luggage I bought cost almost as much as the plane ticket of the trip I bought it for. But it's great luggage, and is guaranteed for life, even for airline-caused damage. So if I buy a new piece of luggage, I hope to be able to afford it matching.

I'm pretty sure I'll never have matching luggage. I tend to only buy luggage when what I have isn't going to work. And then I have to store it. Which is why I have a closet containing one hardsided case I haven't used since I lived abroad, a large rolling duffle known as the heel-eating-green-montster, a camp pack I haven't used since Africa, a rolling largish case, an overnight bag, a standard college era backpack, various toiletry bags and there may be a cloth sided case I hate because it always tips over. I think I'll get rid of that one.
I'm never buying a set at this rate. I have too much I rarely use anyway!
