We recently got a matching set of luggage. It's great -- it's red and easy to pick out when it comes out on the conveyor. Not the most stylish thing in the world, but it came with an enormous cosmetics case, so we're happy.

However, we started looking around at some of the seriously stylish luggage utilized by the rich and famous, and now we have bag envy. This Forbes article makes a really good point -- if you're carrying around expensive designer clothes, shouldn't you keep those clothes in a suitcase befitting them?
Luggage companies are facing a new challenge these days -- keeping the suitcases as light as possible to meet airline standards while making sure they remain durable. Because, even if you have the cash to spend on fancy luggage, it's still just insulting to have to shell out more for a bag that's overweight. We never like to be told we're too heavy!

What do you think? Would you be willing to spend a pretty penny on a set of suitcases, or would you rather carry bargain bags?
