To me, the expensive handbags raise new possibilities. She could have had money stashed away for a "getaway". Or maybe it lends credibility to the theory that she could have ran away with a rich guy she met through her job. Could she have been having a relationship with one of these men, and these were gifts from him? (I don't think so, but it's possible.) Or she could have possibly (even unknowingly) sold a fake as real and made someone angry. Not saying that would lead to her disappearance, but it's something to think about.
