You must have some idea what Freud would have to say about the handbag...
But for whatever reason the woman is putting her effort and energy into a quest she enjoys in the present. She isn't mourning the Louis Vitton bag she lost. She is living her life in the moment, if the search for the bag brings her pleasure.
