Saving £95.82
WorldPoints 479 ~ Avois 862
Amex > Avios 718
Total Avios ~ 1580

Left the bag with the shop and picked it up in arrivals when I got back via the Shop & Collect service.
My sympathy for having a job that denies you the opportunity to actually go proper shopping.

And my amazement that anyone [apart from Yahillwe] would spend that much on a handbag!!
