Since "Haberdashery doesn't have it's own wiki page an(d) is quite an complicated

Wtf is it?
.. And why on earth would we use it (over luggage or bag(s), which are
understood by pretty much anyone)?
I think you are confusing things - shop=bag and shop=haberdashery are
two separate tags.
A haberdashery is a shop that sells materials for sewing, ie thread,
needles, buttons etc.
Though Wiktionary says a haberdashery can also be a shop selling men's
clothing, so probably best to avoid the term if it is ambiguous.

Maybe something like shop=sewing would be clearer?
Or maybe a more general tag, that could also include shops selling
things for knitting, quilting, embroidery etc.
Possibly something like shop=craft_materials ?
