The sample sale is back! This time there are 3 sizes.

https://rokalondon.com/collections/lucky-dip

I thoroughly enjoyed last year's threads. Anyone giving it a go? I might not bother as I got a teal Willesden for Christmas.

Lucky Dip

Feeling Lucky? Our Lucky Dip Sample is back and sweeter than ever! This year, choose to pay £9.95, £19.95 or £29.95, and get ready for an oh-so-sweet treat, lovingly handpicked and packed by our ROKA London team.

@optimusgromit how has the lilac one fared over time please - is it very discoloured now? I like the colour but just wonder if it would look grubby quickly.

Mirrormeback · 27/12/2023 16:07

It'll be interesting then to see what we all get then and how how we feel about it

It looks fine from a distance - some scuffs etc - but she's an older teen so if she's happy to use it I am not going to chase it for the washing basket!

CheesyChipsOnWembleyWay · 27/12/2023 16:19

I got the lilac last year and use it daily. It's not at all grubby and wipes down easily.

Kitchenwitchery · 27/12/2023 16:21

Thats great to know @CheesyChipsOnWembleyWay and @optimusgromit , thank you. I'm just trying to mentally prepare myself for whatever comes my way 😊.

hattie43 · 27/12/2023 16:24

I think I've been caught then , I ordered a large because the picture shows a large . Anything smaller will be no good to me .

28bubble · 27/12/2023 16:30

I also ordered large and now I'm worried. Definitely need a rucksack that is not small.

Charityshoplover12 · 27/12/2023 16:31

I ordered my first lucky dip yesterday and went with large! Praying its big enough for my work laptop and has a drinks holder! I used the free code but didn't realise it also applied to the next day delivery and am now gutted I have to wait a long time for it, no signs of it being packed yet....

Charityshoplover12 · 27/12/2023 16:34

Definitely would be better if the small backpacks came in the medium category and large was only for the medium and large bags, but I understand they are trying to clear stock that won't budge 😁

SabrinaThwaite · 27/12/2023 16:39

TBF (unless the description has already been updated) the Midi description is for sling and cross body bags, and doesn’t mention back packs at all.

I do think the wording could be a bit clearer, ie that the Large category includes S / M / L backpacks.

Edit: Also the S back packs start at £60 when full price and £40 in the sale, so it’s probably a bit hopeful to get them in the £20 Midi lucky dip.

Kitchenwitchery · 27/12/2023 16:48

@SabrinaThwaite yes I think you're right and I misread the medium description as mentioning rucksacks. I also think we're getting around a 50% discount on average or slightly better, and a small rucksack for the large lucky dip would fit with that. Still, I wouldn't have expected to get a product labelled "small" in a lucky dip labelled "large" and I think it would be good if Roka could make this more clear in the descriptions.

notapizzaeater · 27/12/2023 16:54

Ooh I was putting one on my birthday list but I've just ordered the lucky dip instead 🤣🤣

The photo literally shows a backpack for the midi regardless of any subsequent description

That could not be clearer on their behalf

So I expect a flipping backpack

I ordered a large yesterday. It arrived today. Unfortunately not a backpack but a tote bag in forest green. Luckily my daughter loves it. Ordered 2 more today, hopefully backpacks.

Agree it's not very clear, but having searched the products mentioned in the description that photo appears to be the Willesden sling ie a bag with a single strap.

I've gone for the Large dip but actually would be happy with a small or medium backpack.

Piperagu · 27/12/2023 17:19

I think that’s the cross body bag, but it does look like a backpack at first glance!

Show quote history

It's not a backpack in the photo though.

That's the Willesden sling bag.

And it does say in the text that you might get a sling or a crossbody bag.

MargotMoon · 27/12/2023 17:30

I'm not happy at the lack of photos from people reporting what they've received! C'mon folks, play the game! 😁

Mirrormeback · 27/12/2023 17:33

Oh now I just feel conned Xmas Confused

It looked like a back pack to me

Oh well I'm sure I'll get something half decent

I'll make sure to post a photo

NecklessMumster · 27/12/2023 17:35

Oh on the back of this thread I've ordered a small and a medium. Used blue light card code which almost covered p&p

ForTheLoveOfJackDaniels · 27/12/2023 17:36

This is the medium Kennington B I received :)

I like that. Did you pay for medium or large?

ForTheLoveOfJackDaniels · 27/12/2023 17:46

I paid for the medium. I wasn't sure about patterns, but I quite like it!

Buster27 · 27/12/2023 17:49

Loving the gingham print!

I've gone for a large lucky dip - hoping for a backpack of any size (and hopefully not plum as I already have one that colour).
