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.

I got a Bantry C in ink yesterday but would have preferred lavender or another pastel.

BoadiceaOverall · 17/01/2023 11:39

Can I just ask those who have made colour requests, is there a field at checkout for that or did you email them?

I can feel myself cracking, I'm terrible as this would put me up to 5 😂 but I'm rationalising that I can always gift one or two...

I got a Bantry C in Petrol which I'm really happy with Smile

Small or medium? Mine comes today and that in medium would be my top pick

I should be able to pick up my TK Maxx raspberry bargain today!

Q2C4 · 17/01/2023 11:52

Anyone with a Bantry B medium, how much stuff can you get in it? My current (different brand) rucksack is a bit bigger capacity wise and I'm struggling to decide if I need a large (21l) or a medium (14l) Bantry B.

CoconutAmericano · 17/01/2023 11:58

Can I ask would it be a supportive back pack? Is there padding in the straps? Are they wide etc? I'm in the market for a new backpack but I walk to work and need to protect my back.

Medium! I'm surprised how much I can fit in (am already using it as was pretty desperate for a new bag!)

pepperaunt · 17/01/2023 12:21

Disappointingly I got a small Finchley in Sherbet last week. Really want to try again but really don’t want another pastel.

@AnneShirleysNewDress - if you want to swap for a medium bantry b in mint, give me a shout Smile

I have a medium Camden that I've been using for a few months. There's no padding on the straps, but they are wide. I have a bad back but have had no problems with this at all.

Thank you @cortisolqueen i end up dragging home bits for the dinner en route home, not sure if non padded straps would dig in to my shoulders 😬. Appreciate the response.

There's a box for notes. I didn't ask for a specific colour but just said can I have a darker colour if possible.

AnneShirleysNewDress · 17/01/2023 14:24

@cortisolqueen That would be great.

I've sent you a pm Smile

Thanks! I had an email from Charles Clinkard saying my order with them couldn't be fulfilled, so I'm having another go at the lucky dip instead. I somehow managed to miss the box for notes but emailed them after placing my order in hopes of getting a colour I don't already have. Excited to see what comes!

DashboardConfessional · 17/01/2023 14:56

Not sure how well the box works anyway - I asked for something to fit a 15 inch laptop and got a small Finchley. Technically fits but not in the laptop pocket.

cortisolqueen · 17/01/2023 15:56

Probably best to email, I added a note asking for a darker colour & got a Finchley A in lemongrass!

Santiagopink · 17/01/2023 16:10

Oh man. 2 identical Finchley A medium canvas lemongrass. I like them, especially that they are canvas which I prefer, but I already have a lemongrass small! So not only are they ignoring the message on the order but they've gone back to sending 2 the same.
Does anyone want to swap a medium or a small lemongrass? It's actually a really nice colour, it particularly works well with the grey trim.

Would you like a Finchley A sherbet?

Thanks, but I've already got exactly that in small. Is yours medium?

Oh how annoying! The lemongrass is such a nice colour too

Cookiedough41 · 17/01/2023 18:12

I cracked and ordered yesterday and received the Finchley A in medium in lemongrass. I'm not sure on the colour - maybe better in the daylight?

If you email them, they'll swap one or send you an extra, as they have done for others of us who got 2 identical Smile
