Roka sample sale

[BriceNobeslovesMurielHeslop]

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.

Balls! I wasn't buying anything but I got a Paddington B in Avocado for Christmas and it's fab so how bad can another one be? Thanks for the delivery code as the Blue Light one was only 4.50

I've just ordered 2! My only splurge in this years sales but I had no intention of buying a bag anytime soon. Mumsnet/OP should be getting commission

If I end up with a second graphite, I'll gladly swap for your lime one.

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

I’ve caved and gone again. Thanks for the code @buckeejit. Anything but lavender 🤞🏻

I also caved and followed you. I got a Finchley A medium in Lavendar, I'm a bit disappointed with the colour, I'm not sure I'll use it .
Would be up for a swap if anyone was keen

I got a Bantry C Medium Coral. I'd be interested in swapping for something a darker colour, if anyone's interested!

Another unhappy Finchley lavender person here. It's a very wishy washy colour.

I haven't received my first one yet and I'm already tempted to go again! But I suppose I'm taking a big risk of getting 2 bags the same or 2 I don't like.

I’m so tempted by this and I definitely don’t need it but I’ve been covering a roka for a while now. The plum / graphite and teal some of you have received are gorgeous…. I’m scared to go for it in case I get lavender 🙈

I suppose i do have a family birthday later this month I could use it for if I don’t like it….

I received a small Finchley in Plum, I wouldn’t have chosen the colour but I love it. It seems to be really good quality. I’ve ordered another one hoping for something bigger x

I'm very tempted! Do the medium bags fit a laptop as well as other work related stuff (lunch, water bottle, umbrella etc). Seems lots of the bags you are getting are medium

@GothSummer when I got my bag I packed the dinning room table into it. Laptop, A5 pad, Dodo diary, large innocent juice bottle, large salt cellar, EpiPen's, bottle of vinegar. All fitted fine and was comfortable to carry.

FFS would help if I mentioned the bag was a Bantry C

I'm tempted by this but do they look cheap? The straps put me off

I caved. I ordered.

praying for #anythingbutlavender.

Does anyone like the lavender? 🤣 I wonder if they sell many.
Mind should be arriving tomorrow hopefully. Also hoping it's not lavender, mainly because it wouldn't stay that colour for long!

I really hope I get a small bag in Plum or Ginger/Burnt orange 🤞🏽

IMO they don’t look cheap.

The straps are thick cotton webbing and the buckles are sturdy. Zips are chunky. Everything is well finished.

I have 2 and they are both good quality strong bags, and straps don't dig into your shoulders.

I am so tempted! I would lobe the lavender!

@Niftythrifter I think you'll be popular, hoping my next isn't lavender!

I think the grey straps cheapen the look of the bag too. It would be better if they were the same colour as the bag like Kankens, or even a different colour that isn't grey.

That said they are very well made, and practical, and I have one as my work bag.

Baaa baaa I have clicked too ! Really hope I get a lovely colour but will pass on as a gift to DD or Dsis if not to my taste ..
Thanks for the thread - I have looked at them in a local store many times.
Think I would like a nice spring colour backpack ideally !

I’m waiting for my first. Tempted to order another but like you worried they might send the same colour . Would they check ?
