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.

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

Oh no. This is my fear.....

Fedupofchangingusernames · 09/01/2023 13:21

Hmmm, I'm now fully expecting a lavender one.

I feel like if I see anyone out and about with a lavender Roka bag it will be a Mumsnetter from this thread 🤣

Rassy · 09/01/2023 13:22

A Finchley in Lavender has just arrived here too! Confused

BoadiceaOverall · 09/01/2023 13:26

Ooh, I'm now hoping for something lavender as I love the colour...

toooldforgymnastics · 09/01/2023 13:31

The trend continues with another Finchley A in Lavender here. I actually don't mind the colour but was really hoping for something smaller. Happy to swap?

LaLaLaLaLolaaa · 09/01/2023 13:32

I might try and dye one of my Lavenders black or grey. May be a total disaster but I'm tempted...

Let us know the outcome! I could see a really nice galaxy ice dye looking fab with the lavender as a base!

Bemoreme21 · 09/01/2023 13:41

Are all the Lavender Finchleys you have received medium or has anyone received a small?

@LaLaLaLaLolaaa

I’d email Roka to see if you can - the straps will take up the dye but treated canvas might not?

Mine are both medium.

icefishing · 09/01/2023 13:42

I've discovered I can join from the USA so have ordered 2, I need a work bag.
Hope I don't get two identical ones but sounds as though I will.
I'll gift one if needed.

icefishing · 09/01/2023 13:45

At least I'd be happy with lavender.

SuckItNietzsche · 09/01/2023 13:55

Thank you for this OP, I've never heard of the brand but I like a backpack and these look nice! I've ordered a mystery bag and couldn't resist a small brown one from the flannel-lined range too. I'm a complete sucker for anything flannel/plaid Blush

chorusline79 · 09/01/2023 13:55

Oh dear I got the lavender - that was the only one I didn't like

Xanadu58 · 09/01/2023 14:01

Finchley A med lavender just arrived here too !
It actually looks nicer in real life so I'm happy to use it for work although it'll probably get very dirty !

chorusline79 · 09/01/2023 14:03

I think mine will be going on vinted or eBay ... or poss gift for sister in law as I think she would like the colour...

oranga · 09/01/2023 14:24

I also ordered Sunday afternoon and have just received an emerald Finchley a in medium. Very pleased thanks OP!

Ooh i also ordered yesterday morning (sunday) but haven’t even had confirmation of dispatch. Glad you're happy with your emerald. I would be too!

next day delivery sunday-monday is very impressive though!

fitflopqueen · 09/01/2023 14:46

Ordered Friday evening and now expecting a Lavender colour to appear in the next hour, will be up for swopsies if so.

oranga · 09/01/2023 14:48

Absolutely impressed with the speed of delivery, I'd managed to misspell my email on the order so wrote to customer services to update it and they replied with tracking info for lunchtime delivery! Super fast!

fitflopqueen · 09/01/2023 15:06

Finchley A medium Lavender now received, looks really nice but not my colour, anyone want to swop, happy to go smaller/larger

Nightmanagerfan · 09/01/2023 15:45

I ordered on Saturday, no dispatch confirmation as yet and now having second thoughts if I get lavender! I will be happy with any other colour!

HoppyHop · 09/01/2023 15:56

Bantry C in Coral just arrived (Saturday am order). Very happy. Thank you OP!

Just googled, that's a lovely colour. Seems to be a mix arriving today.

MrsElm · 09/01/2023 16:29

Another Finchley medium in Lavender here. That must've been some warehouse surplus!

I think it's a bit Emperor's New Clothes, I'm not sure I would pay £29.95 for that again.

I suppose a lesson learned in not getting swept away by the crowd.
