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

I'm not sure they'd check tbh. I think I'm going to wait . It should be arriving tomorrow . I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's a good one ! If not, I'll use it for work 🤞🏻

Ooh I've had one of these for a couple of years, great bag. I've ordered, hoping for a bright colour, the emerald looks gorgeous.

Helenlovescats · 08/01/2023 21:51

I've lurked for ages but finally cracked!! Thank you @buckeejit for the free delivery code :) Now I'm praying it's a useful colour/size but actually I've always liked the look of all their stuff so how wrong could it go...

Brontosaurus · 08/01/2023 22:58

Oh I'm so tempted by this!

Imevery · 08/01/2023 23:46

Is it only backpacks they send? Has anyone had a crossbody? I have a crossbody one and it’s awesome (and surprisingly spacious).

@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.

I've caved and ordered. Hoping I get a backpack, really don't want a cross body - will wait and see what arrives!!
Thanks @AdventFridgeOfShame for informing how much they hold. I walk commute to work so a comfy backpack that fits a lot in will be the dream surprise!

Puffalicious · 09/01/2023 00:26

I can concur that the Emerald is gorgeous! My DH was so impressed by it, and he's not often moved to words about any accessory I buy!😅

toomuchlikemyusername · 09/01/2023 10:31

My bag arrived. A Finchley A Medium in Lavender. Bag is lovely but I'm a bit disappointed with the colour as it's not really one that I'd have chosen.
Would be happy to swop if done one wants to.... just about any other colour would do I think!

Xanadu58 · 09/01/2023 10:53

Mine's due to be delivered this afternoon. I've never been more nervous to open a parcel!😂

Keep us updated @Xanadu58 ! They seem to come in bursts then a new colour takes over…. I ordered yesterday and imagine mine will arrive tomorrow, so i’m eagerly waiting to see what colour today’s deliveries bring.

the tension is mounting…

I wonder if they can be dyed?

Fedupofchangingusernames · 09/01/2023 11:59

How long do they usually take to arrive?

I ordered mine on Saturday but haven't had anything to say when it will arrive.

AnnaBegins · 09/01/2023 12:04

I also have a medium in lavender to swap! I'd happily swap for a small in any colour (especially aqua) if that sways anyone? It's fab, just not my colour, will be used as a present for a friend if not swapped.

Xanadu58 · 09/01/2023 12:04

I ordered mine on Friday evening and arriving today. I would have thought yours should be with you tomorrow.

Snappyteabread · 09/01/2023 12:23

One of mine arriving today. Feels like it's going to be lavender which I don't want....the anticipation....!

BoadiceaOverall · 09/01/2023 12:34

I've just caved in and ordered one. I have way too many bags already sheepish but this is a new brand for me and I like the look of their stuff, so I thought I'd give it a go.

hotchocdrinker · 09/01/2023 12:42

I too am a sheep!! I could do with a new rucksack-type bag so thought it was worth a go. Ordered last evening and just had an email to say that DPD are expecting my parcel. I really hope it's not lavender...!

WarningToTheCurious · 09/01/2023 12:42

I ordered for DSIS on Friday afternoon, and it arrived today … Finchley A medium in lavender. She’s happy with it as it matches a coat (I did offer to swap my smaller Finchley in aqua).

This is my worry 😬

AutisticMe · 07/01/2023 11:05

I got the Finchley A medium in Sicilian orange, does anyone want to swap? I wanted the Finchley A, but not keen on the colour!

@AutisticMe I got it in lavender and would love orange if you'd like a swap?

LaLaLaLaLolaaa · 09/01/2023 13:03

Two lavender Finchley A's for me, arrived today. I actually really like it, but could have done without two of the same bag 😅

spinningirl10 · 09/01/2023 13:09

Am I the only one that doesn't mind the lavender colour! I'd love a bright one though for the summer. I ordered last night and have had an email from dhl to say they are awaiting it.
Can't wait to see what you all receive todaySmile

Bemoreme21 · 09/01/2023 13:17

I wouldn't mind a Lavender Finchley as long as it's small. May be up for a swap!

Xanadu58 · 09/01/2023 13:19

It does seem that they're sent out in batches of the same colour .
My hopes of getting a different colour to lavender are fading fast . 😔

JofraArchersFastestBall · 09/01/2023 13:21

Mine is at home waiting for me. Tense!
Luckily I quite like lavender!
