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.

mine just arrived. Bantry B medium in mint. Nice bag, great size but alas, not my colour.

will have to swap or sell I think….

Would you swap for a lavender medium Finchley?

moogdroog · 10/01/2023 15:31

It's obviously Mint Bantry B day, as that's what's arrived here too.
I got a graphite Bantry last week, and was hoping for something bigger and brighter... it certainly is brighter but not sure if it's my colour.

AlabamaWorley22 · 10/01/2023 15:31

Sorry @LaLaLaLaLolaaa but I’m not a fan of the lalalalavender 😬

cortisolqueen · 10/01/2023 15:36

Mint Medium Bantry B here too.

I'm undecided, prefer darker colours so would consider a swap (but may grow on me).

If you fancy swapping for a medium Finchley A in lavender, let me know 😅

I know I'm a broken record - please someone swap with me 😂

Whatmarbles · 10/01/2023 15:44

Bantry C medium Coral for me.
Was hoping for anything but that colour 😩

I love this colour! My son is at home and he's been feeling my parcel and says it feels like a rucksack size. May be up for a swap later depending on what I've got.

@Fedupofchangingusernames fancy swapping for a bantry C med in coral?

@spinningirl10 I'm really not a bright colour type of person.
I already have a Finchley I bought in camouflage, so you couldn't get further away with coral 🤣

Fancy a lavender Finchley A? If so I love yours!

Westnorwood · 10/01/2023 16:10

Ordered Saturday afternoon delivered today Bantry C Medium Coral. Last week I got a small Finchley in Plum and it’s perfect.

I don’t think it’s too bad but I’ve gone again and will return/sell the Coral Bantry if I get something I prefer.

Ideally I’d like a large as an overnight bag.

Shinyandnew2022 · 10/01/2023 16:16

Mine has arrived and it's a medium Finchley in Flamingo it's lovely but really not my colour at all !
Might be up for a swap - I just don't really 'do' pastels .
Maybe DD will like it but she doesn't really like pinks!

@friskybivalves I'm up for swapping for your lavender. I have no idea how to DM you from the app though to arrange it!

viques · 10/01/2023 16:28

Just checked. My delivery person has ten more stops before they get to me, they had over a hundred this morning. I can’t check who my packer was but am offering sacrifices to the gods of packing on their behalf. Am also waiting on a new hoover from John Lewis, also due today, more excited about the roka bag than the hoover if truth were known.

Oooh. I think we cannot DM thru the app. Has to be thru the browser and that in turn means remembering your password...

Pieceofpurplesky · 10/01/2023 16:35

I've ordered too! Never heard of the make before but I love a surprise

Just DM-d you I think...

Xanadu58 · 10/01/2023 16:42

I've gone in again for the 3rd and final time. Really hoping for something that isn't pastel . 🤞🏻

Neversaygoodbye · 10/01/2023 16:44

I saw these backpacks recommended somewhere for school/college bags so had thought I might get one for DD later this year ready for going to Uni in Sept (fingers crossed). So jumped on the band wagon. Mind you, she likes muted colours and definitely not pink so it's a bit of a gamble.

pullshapes · 10/01/2023 16:52

I jumped on the bandwagon too and got a medium Bantry b in coral. I wouldn't necessarily have chosen the colour but like it more in the flesh. I'm going to give it a try for work and see how it goes.

Fedupofchangingusernames · 10/01/2023 16:58

@friskybivalves got your DM and have replied :)

LaLaLaLaLolaaa · 10/01/2023 17:03

Have just managed to swap my lavender Finchley for a coral Bantry C on Facebook, so I'm very happy and can stop incessantly asking people to swap now 🙃

Santiagopink · 10/01/2023 17:04

I ordered Saturday and still haven't had an email to say packed or dispatched. Money has left account though. Anyone else still waiting? You all seem to be getting very quick delivery

whitewineandchocolate · 10/01/2023 17:06

A Finchley A medium in Flamingo here - disappointed, too large and not the colour I’d have chosen. Can’t believe it, what a waste of money!

Decorhate · 10/01/2023 17:32

A Bantry C Coral Medium for me too. Not really my colour but if it had accommodated my work laptop I would stick with it. Not sure what to do now. I suspect all the more popular/muted colours are gone now.

I had been thinking of buying one anyway before the lucky dip so will have a think & look at it in daylight
