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 succumbed to this at the weekend, bag has been waiting for me at the pick up point since late Tuesday & I keep forgetting to collect it on the way home. I ordered Sunday afternoon & was pretty much resigned to getting a lavender one after keeping an eye on this thread - now I’m just praying it’s not sherbert! Any other guesses as to what is awaiting me?

I'm wondering how long my two bags will take to arrive in the USA.
They did send me a tracking code but I can't remember what the company is calling itself in the USA so it is lost in a sea of emails.

ORI London!

Maybe lavender!

Thanks @DashboardConfessional apparently I can expect my parcel on Monday.
It has to trek over the country from California.

AnneShirleysNewDress · 13/01/2023 14:49

Finchley A in sherbet for me too but I like the colour though I wasn't expecting to.

BriceNobeslovesMurielHeslop · 13/01/2023 14:51

My second one doesn’t appear to have been picked yet, I’m curious to see what it will be!

Mine neither and I ordered yesterday with express shipping 🤔

twoandcooplease · 13/01/2023 15:31

Oh @lazybutton maybe they have tan out ... and if so you'll maybe get a non sample..?

Travellingraspberry · 13/01/2023 15:45

Mine arrived day after I ordered, amazing service!

I received a Finchley A small in Sherbert. Actually dont mind the colour but would find a medium a bit more practical.

If anyone has a medium (any style/colour) and would like to swap please let me know!

I also received the same bag and don't mind the colour but was hoping for a medium. Don't think there's much hope for a swap but not sure if worth risking another lucky dip? 😅

I ordered on Sunday night and got a Finchley in Airforce - not seen anyone else mention it though, so maybe there was only one 😄

Clarabellawilliamson · 13/01/2023 17:10

I got a small Finchley in sherbert too. It's the shape and size I wanted, the colour may grow on me! Good for summer I suppose.

Helenlovescats · 13/01/2023 17:21

Hmm I wasn't going to go again...but thought I'd just email them to see if they still have any large or medium bags before I decide for certain! I was so lucky last time and got bags I love, both small though, so you never know....

buckeejit · 13/01/2023 17:26

Ooh @SuckItNietzsche you won! That's the sort of muted dark colour I was hoping for for me or ds

ImprobablePuffin · 13/01/2023 17:48

Are many of you still waiting for deliveries?

I'm desperate to know what colour they're going with next.

APurpleSquirrel · 13/01/2023 18:14

I wonder how long it'll be till this is the one getting sent out Shock
Bet those Sherbets & Lavenders will look better then!

Well it looks like the question will never be answered as DPD have for some reason taken back the parcel and are returning it to sender. Apparently this is a process that cannot be stopped and I need to speak to the sender as DPD have washed their hands of it. Argh!

I'm definitely unusual, I think. As well as liking the sherbet I was eyeing this design up on the site the other day! 😂

I would much prefer this to the sherbet!

AlabamaWorley22 · 13/01/2023 19:02

Well I finally managed an in-person swap - my mint Bantry B for @Fashiontatts pink Finchley. We agreed to swap and we were discussing postage before realising that we live 10 mins apart so managed to save on postage 🤩.

Alas we didn’t meet as we’re both under the weather so it was a Dadsnet handover but all’s well that ends well.

jealous that someone got airforce blue - I’m tempted by a couple of the blue ones on the CK website now…

Santiagopink · 13/01/2023 19:32

At last! DPD have notified me they are expecting my parcel! I'm in the system now!

Puffalicious · 13/01/2023 20:05

Oooooh airforce...

Fashiontatts · 13/01/2023 20:10

Well my 2nd order of 2 lucky dips arrived not long after my swap with @AlabamaWorley22 … only for me to open it and discover 3 bags inside! 😍

So I now have a rather impressive 5 (!) bags… all different colours and styles/sizes! So I’m finding it even more difficult to decide to part with a couple for gifts 🙈

Oh finally!! I'm glad it's at least moving. And hope it's been worth the wait!
