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.

Am I too late for the lucky dip?

Nope, order away :))

QuizteamAguillera · 12/01/2023 19:50

Great,thanks I have done it now. I kept getting redirected to the US site!

🤞🤞🤞

Handsnotwands · 12/01/2023 20:01

Another sherbet Finchley A small here. Would love to swap for pretty much anything else 🤣

AmberPig · 12/01/2023 20:34

Last year the lucky dip was on until the end of January. I ordered towards the end and got a Finchley in marine, which I love. I think I’ll hold on and try again in the hope they get the pastels out of the way!

My second bag arrived Finchley A in Sherbet but I'm going to keep it as actually quite like it even though I'm not a pink person!

I've got a Bantry B Medium in Meadow that I'm looking to swap for Finchley Medium if anyone is interested?

Hi!!! Would you like to swap your Meadow for my small Sherbet?

@Fedupofchangingusernames ignore me! I just realised you already have the sherbet.

Please let me know if anyone else wants to swap 🙏🏽

buckeejit · 12/01/2023 20:50

Ooh @AmberPig good internet thanks & may push me towards another go at the month end!

Santiagopink · 12/01/2023 20:59

Yes Lesley in customer services is very helpful, she has dealt with my missing order of 2, asked my preference to which I said any colour but preferably medium and 2 different colours. She says she found 2 mediums ( not many left apparently) AND put in a small bag for free too. Don't know what colours but I'm very excited to get one free. Goodness knows why my order got lost but customer services have been very generous. I'll let you know what colours turn up.

Q2C4 · 12/01/2023 21:07

Has anyone got a medium Bantry B? I'm trying to work out how much it can hold (14l capacity) versus the Bantry large (21l capacity). Also interested in any comments re nylon v canvas.

Pieceofpurplesky · 12/01/2023 21:28

I love my sherbet Finchley pink.

@spinningirl10 yes it is a backpack -I hadn't realised the Paddingtons aren't actually backpacks! So my two are definitely true samples. I wasn't too sure how I'd get on with smaller bags but having pranced around the house a bit with them, as you do 😂, I reckon they could be perfect for my day to day stuff, so I'm well chuffed!

Some of the Paddington are back packs, I got one the other day, but they don’t seem to be on the Roka website atm. Mine came with a carnaby wallet as well!

cortisolqueen · 12/01/2023 21:43

Paddingtons come in crossbody, backpack & waist/hip bag - I have one of each Blush. All slightly different sizes & serve different purposes.
They're great bags - pity that seem to be discontinuing some of them

BadgerFace · 12/01/2023 21:47

Oooh what an exciting thread to find, just what I needed to fill the Christmas bargains thread hole in my life...

I've been looking at Rokas on and off for a few years but could never work out which size/style to go for - let's see what a lucky dip throws up!

I'd love a Paddington backpack but I think it's unlikely, I shall keep an eye on Vinted. I've got a different crossbody which I've had for a couple of years and I love it. Doesn't sound like they have many smaller bags left now.

If it helps anyone else, I just ordered another 2 (on the premise of presents… we shall see!) and I emailed their customer services advising which ones I got sent previously and they responded v quickly saying they’d happily picked different colours/styles for me this time round 🙂

I put a message into the order request, it was printed out with the receipt so they did see it. Said had pale lavendar and should I have a darker one this time.
they sent sherbet!

Hope you have better luck with your request.

ChamberLink · 12/01/2023 22:50

I don't have one of these bags but it's been fun seeing all three photos.
Today I saw a woman with v new looking green roka rucksack & I have to day I wonderd if she's on this thread 😁

twoandcooplease · 12/01/2023 22:51

Did you ring them or email

QuizteamAguillera · 12/01/2023 23:54

@twoandcooplease yes I’ve ordered and luckily spotted the free shipping code on page 1!

I already own a medium and small Bantry in navy so hoping I end up with a more interesting colour. I also have the purse in bright pink.

They are such great bags and I’m seeing more people with them now.
I don’t use a laptop but still tend to use the medium bag day today for all my stuff.

spinningirl10 · 13/01/2023 06:33

@Santiagopink So pleased they sorted it out for you. Excited to see what arrives for you today!

I’ve just put a new post up about the Turtle Doves lucky dip for seconds!
I’m tempted to give it a go but have quite a few of their bits already :)

Fedupofchangingusernames · 13/01/2023 08:42

Does anyone know ho often Roka do these lucky dips? Are they once a year?
