Has anybody tried this? A mystery bag for £29.95?
I’ve fancied a Roka backpack for a while but haven’t quite decided. They have this offer just now but I’m aware it could go disastrously wrong.

I got mine today - a Bantry in Aqua. Tbh I was hoping for a lavender but I seem to be in the minority!

I might be interested in a swap. Do you have a photo? I have a Finchley A medium lavender

The Finchley mediums take a 17” laptop and Canfield and Camden mediums take a 15” laptop, according to the website. Bantry mediums say they accommodate a laptop too (no size).

So as long as you get a medium you should be fine (or if you don’t then there seems to be several lavender mediums up for swapsies).

Thanks! From this thread it mostly seems like people are getting medium or large backpacks so I might go for it.

I have a lavender Finchley A medium to swap if anyone wants that one pm me - otherwise it will be going on Vinted or eBay ( maybe in a few weeks once there aren't so many!)

I just got a lovely surprise. I received a Paddington B small in flamingo AND a Finchley A in emerald.

Really happy. Thanks for the link and free postage code.

twoandcooplease · 10/01/2023 11:43

How long do they keep mystery bags on sale? Until stocks last or does it stop on a specific date?

WarningToTheCurious · 10/01/2023 11:44

@TheyJustDontFit Did you get 2 for the price of 1?

spinningirl10 · 10/01/2023 11:44

Ooh it's exciting seeing what everyone is receiving. Mines coming later today!

LaLaLaLaLolaaa · 10/01/2023 11:47

I'm proper annoyed seeing the variation of bags being received now when I ended up with two lavender Finchleys 😂😭

I’m sitting on my hands and living vicariously instead 🤣

Mine just arrived - Finchley A small in aqua. Quite pleased

cortisolqueen · 10/01/2023 11:56

What day did people order? I'm hoping for something other than. Paddington as I have one of those already...

BoadiceaOverall · 10/01/2023 11:57

A Finchley A (small) in Sicilian Orange. Really pleased - love this colour! 😍
Also think the bag's a really good size considering it's technically a small.

Eek, just ordered as a result of this thread!! Had a cheapy rucksack which I used changing bag for the kids that has seen better days and kids now bigger so now hoping for a stylish upgrade...

buckeejit · 10/01/2023 12:13

Medium lavender Finchley here too. The colour is nice enough just not for me. May keep it for DD's birthday. Should I have one more go or is that just nuts?!
