matching suitcases and carry on luggage purchased at the surf stores approximately 5 years ago, only about 1/4 off Australian prices, still the same, you could try when the big sales are on if you are in Bali at the right time but I imagine they wouldn't have a lot of luggage available, they don't carry much in the surf shops, heaps of backpacks but not actual luggage.
We now carry the material Bali bags as they don't weigh anything, the suitcases weigh up to 7 kilos each empty....something to think about.
We line the material bags with plastic garbage liners, superglue the end pockets, they are useless add ons, reinforce the handles (get a tailor to do this whilst in Bali), tie the handles together when at the airport so that the handlers use 2 together, wrap some duct tape around the middle and a lock on the one zip. You can get heaps of different sizes and matching carryons.
