Roka lucky dip - did anyone not get a backpack?

[teawamutu]

Just saw the first thread today so haven't read the whole thing - but every pic I saw was a backpack so I wondered what the odds were of not getting one?

I've wanted a Roka backpack for work for ages, but couldn't justify the price. Lucky dip would be great if I had a good chance of a laptop sized bag in anything but pink...

I was lucky and got a bag large enough for a laptop! I think a few got cross body but there were definitely in the minority.

There are quite a few on vinted as a result of the sample sale

Although a lot more expensive! Some people are asking £50!!!

I saw one of the bright orange Roka laptop bags in TK Maxx yesterday for £25. Might be worth having a browse if you have one near you

Yeah - I think prices will come down though as they won't sell at that figure

I ordered a couple of lucky dips (couple for me and a couple for gifts!) and got one crossbody bag, the rest backpacks. But I personally found their customer service amazing, it might be worth emailing them to ask if there's any crossbody ones left in the lucky dip prior to placing an order? I had a slight issue with one order and Lesley at their CS sorted it straight away and sent me an extra.

Sorry, I just re read the OP.... apparently one coffee was not enough this morning!

I got 5 bags in total, 1 small backpack, 3 large backpacks and 1 crossbody - which I suspect was the "extra" that was sent out 🙂

Look at Charles Clinkard as they have some on sale cheaper than Vinted

I dropped by my local TKMaxx while in town and got a bright orange medium Canfield - thanks for the tip!

Not sure I'd have chosen the orange as I tend to play safe, but I do like it. Especially for £24.99...

Ooh @teawamutu that's great, glad you found one!

Glad you got something you liked.

It's a shame people are g being honest on vinted as the bags are samples so may be not quite 100% so to ask high ££ seems so wrong.

... But being a total sheep, I ordered a lucky dip too. Lesley in Roka customer services is indeed lovely.😳

Anyone know if these would accommodate a larger MacBook? My work computer is bloody huge!

One of my lucky dips is a Bantry C and my 13-inch Macbook Air fits nicely into what I presume is the laptop pocket. I think a bigger Macbook would go in quite easily, albeit perhaps not into the laptop pocket.

Sorry posted on wrong thread

Don't really want to get a small backpack how small are they? Do all tk max stock them. I am quite near the Stratford and Walthamstow one.

I have a large Bantry b in airforce. I would like to downsize as I have a large Roka already. Selling for the cost of a large lucky dip.

I got an orange backpack in the lucky dip last year. I would never voluntarily buy an orange bag. I love it and have used it a lot. Enjoy your bag.

Have you sold this, I’d be interested in buying.

Yes, it has sold, sorry I don't know how to delete my post
