TL;DR
Look for affordable luggage in the small shops on either side of the hotel, and negotiate: a carry-on bag was reduced from $20 to $11, while a large suitcase cost $18. For more shops, head to Mamsha promenade or the Kawthar area.
For shops and cafés, walk along the pedestrian Mamsha promenade. Kawthar, about 20 minutes away on foot, has shops and fruit sellers, while Mamsha itself has tourist-oriented shopping centres. There is no need to make a special trip to Dahar market or the distant fruit market just for luggage.
There are shops in both directions from the hotel. A large suitcase was bought in one of them for $18; there is also a pharmacy nearby with comparatively better prices.
Small shops to the left of the hotel may have travel bags, and bargaining is worthwhile: a carry-on bag listed at $20 was negotiated down to $11. Suitcase availability at that particular shop was not confirmed.
