Roka sample sale

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.

@WarningToTheCurious yes I did - 2 bags delivered for the grand total of £29.99. Was really surprised and very, very happy with it. Must have been my lucky day. The Finchley A is my new everyday bag and DD has her eye on the other one.

@TheyJustDontFit

Must have been your lucky day!

Finchley A Small in Sherbet just arrived. I can't seem to post a photo from the app but it's sort of a bright baby pink.

chorusline79 · 11/01/2023 12:27

@Rebootnecessary I've just posted the bag 1st class so hopefully you will have it soon!

Decorhate · 11/01/2023 12:33

@Brrhitscold It was on their Instagram account.

Although I don’t really like the colour I have decided to keep the Bantry C in coral - my work laptop just about fits (though not in the actual laptop pocket)

I mainly needed one for that but also hoped it would do as a small cabin bag on Ryanair (as currently using a 25 year old changing bag!). The size is not quite right for that but might get away with it as long as it’s not full.

Mine has just arrived and I'm so upset :( bag is lovely but I hate the colour :( anyone fancy a swap before I return it?

AlabamaWorley22 · 11/01/2023 09:33

@AnnaBegins or @buckeejit i’d be happy to swap a pink Finchley for my medium mint Bantry B if either of you is interested?

Wanna swap with me?

AdventFridgeOfShame · 11/01/2023 12:40

There are no returns for sample sale bags.
We took a chance and some responsibility when buying them.
Either learn to love them, swap, sell or gift.

I do feel a bit peeved that people who ordered two bags in one order often got two identical bags. That was a bit sloppy of Roka.

Fedupofchangingusernames · 10/01/2023 12:45

Mine's just arrived...Bantry B in medium in the colour Meadow which I'm not overly keen on...

I'd be happy to swap yours with mine?

Seems like I'm stuck with mine then!

DH & my ones have just arrived - both are Finchley As in Plum - very happy!!!

So jealous 😭 that's a stunning colour :)

Santiagopink · 11/01/2023 12:55

Well they finally got back to me about my missing order and said that one of the items was out of stock but its now sorted. That was a bit bullshitty because I only ordered 2 of the lucky dip. And several hours later it still only says 'order placed' on my tracking when you all seem to get it 'picked' really fast. Will see if it comes tomorrow. If I get 2 identical I'm not going to be at all impressed with this company. I'm not even that fussed about colours but 2 the same is clearly going to be useless. Sloppy indeed.

spidereggs · 11/01/2023 12:55

Just saw this, ordered. With three under three for many years, youngest now two, I'm reaching lose nappy rucksack stage, almost.

Xanadu58 · 11/01/2023 12:57

Another pink finchley A here too ! I'm not surprised . Seems they were sent out in a batch . It's the lavender all over again. 😆

I'm supposed to be swapping mine with someone else but will give you a shout if that falls through!

I did place another order to see if I'll get something different - will report back!

PotatoCatkin · 11/01/2023 13:00

Would anyone like to swap for a Lime Medium Bantry C?

It's lovely but just not a shade that goes with anything I wear.

I'd probably prefer to swap for a similar size as I also got a small Finchley in aqua which I love and am keeping.

Fancy taking on my pink Finchley Small?

mightymam · 11/01/2023 13:02

@DashboardConfessional. It's a lovely bag and I love the size. I just don't wear pink. Ever.

mightymam · 11/01/2023 13:03

@Fedupofchangingusernames yes please :)

PotatoCatkin · 11/01/2023 13:04

@mightymam I'd prefer to see if anyone wants to swap for a Bantry or similar size first.

If yours was a Bantry I'd have snapped it up as I love the colour!

mightymam · 11/01/2023 13:07

Of course @PotatoCatkin :)

Snappyteabread · 11/01/2023 13:09

I still have these so interested if anyone wants to swap. Ideally looking for a darker more muted colour but let me know what you have.
