Just ordered my sample yesterday 😆 I already have a Finchley A in Emerald so hopefully I don't get another one of those!

Sorry if it's already been explained, but how do I see who has packed mine etc? I've seen some folk saying they know who picked theirs.

Also can't believe some folk who have ordered multiple got more than one of the same bag, that's a bit shitty of them.

I think those that did and emailed, got sent another bag and could keep the ones already got . Seems daft they would think people wanted two identical !

Ooh that one is lovely @coles85!

MargotMoon · 30/01/2023 22:51

After stalking this thread I got massive FOMO and ordered at 11pm on Saturday night and it arrived at 6pm today! Amazing service, I hadn't even received a notification that it had been sent.

I got a medium canvas Finchley in sage, which I could not be happier with! It's a really nice green colour (the photo doesn't do it justice) but I've looked on the website and the sage looks more blue-green so perhaps that was why it's in the sample sale.

I bought myself the same bag in orange for Xmas so this will be a perfect work bag and I can keep the orange for 'best' 😊

Now I'm thinking I need a small one for summer festival purposes, will have to check out Vinted!

That’s lovely. Not dark but it’s got depth so darker than the lavender .

Love the sage! I think it's the final day today... so I've finally caved. Keeping all fingers crossed for a Finchley of some kind...

MargotMoon · 31/01/2023 12:07

Here is the sage in much better light

Love the sage @MargotMoon, really nice colour.

Toddlerteaplease · 31/01/2023 13:06

I've caved as well. I liked in TK and they only had Paddington's which I've already got. Hoping for a medium back pack. Hopefully in a bright colour. Can swap or sell for a profit if I don't like it!

paddlemyowncanoe · 25/01/2023 15:45

For anyone in or near Nottingham..... TK Maxx had a dozen or so bright yellow and orange bags this afternoon. There was a mixture (Bantry, Paddington cross body and Paddington backpack). The backpacks all seemed to be small, and everything was lucky dip price or less

Only had paddingtons yesterday 😰

Toddlerteaplease · 31/01/2023 14:21

I emailed and asked for a medium bag and they replied and said they would! I'm
Impressed!

eternalopt · 31/01/2023 14:46

Took the plunge last weekend and got the Finchley A medium lemongrass one for a present for someone. Not a colour I'd choose but I love it, so kept that one and just ordered again for the present - easier actually as they can post it straight to her, but I don't get the thrill of finding out straight away what it was and will have to pretend I knew Grin

Customer services were great though - emailed them and asked for a medium and lesley emailed back pretty quickly to say she's swapped the small that I had got for a medium. Don't know style or colour though!

I sent one to my sister and she videoed the grand opening of the parcel for me Smile

KarenColman · 01/02/2023 12:27

I knew I would get yet yellow! But at least it’s not patterned that would have been worse IMO. Can’t decide whether to keep or sell on Vinted. It’s a small Canfield in Mustard.

@KarenColman snap!

WarningToTheCurious · 01/02/2023 12:45

I'll happily swap a Finchley small in Sherbert for a mustard Canfield if anyone is interested?

KarenColman · 01/02/2023 13:05

WarningToTheCurious I was hoping for a more muted/dark colour really. The Sherbert looks a bit too bright for me unfortunately.

KarenColman · 01/02/2023 13:05

weknowfrogsgotralalalala · 01/02/2023 12:38

@KarenColman snap!

Are you keeping yours? Happy with the mustard?!

EachandEveryone · 01/02/2023 13:13

I got a maroon Finchley. Im not sure if I will use it yet.

WarningToTheCurious · 01/02/2023 13:16

@KarenColman Yes, the Sherbert is quite a cheerful colour for sure!

weknowfrogsgotralalalala · 01/02/2023 14:38

@KarenColman i think so. I was hoping for a medium really, but the small has more space than I thought it would.

Beadley · 01/02/2023 18:03

Thanks so much for the heads up! Delighted with the gamble. I got a Sage Finchley A in medium. Delighted as I have the same bag in a deep purple and use it lots. It’s an absolute tardis!

Whitwhit · 01/02/2023 20:34

I got a Bantry B medium in Aqua.
I wanted medium, preferably darker. But I am warming to the colour. It’s defo more cheerful than my more usual muted colour palate!

Rainyrunner · 01/02/2023 20:40

I'm really happy with mine I got a medium in plum and a small mustard.
I really hoped for a large teal but they don't seem common...
