Anyone else play guess the mumsnetter when you see a Roku bag?

Sat in M&S with DM (her birthday) and there is a stunning and stylish woman in the queue with a yellow bag (if you are on here and were wearing a grey swirly dress - you are my new style icon). I wondered which MN she was.
There is a lovely younger (than me) woman with a pink Roka backpack with a gorgeous baby boy wandering too.

Is it a new sign or MN scarf?

Sorry what?🤷‍♀️

losthj · 18/03/2024 12:36

@Pieceofpurplesky yes. I have those colours but it's not me!

I'm the same when I see one though

pimplebum · 18/03/2024 12:57

Can you link to something so this post makes sense

I have no clue what Roku bag is ?

pizzaHeart · 18/03/2024 12:58

????

ILoveSalmonSpread · 18/03/2024 13:01

That's what goes through my mind when I see one.
I wonder whether they got it in the draw or did they choose it .

Bjorkdidit · 18/03/2024 13:03

There was a man in front of me in the queue at the airport recently that had one, yellow I think. I did think of the MN Roku craze and wondered if he'd bought it himself, it had been a gift from a MNetter relative or his DW had gone a bit overboard with Roku hunting, their house was full of them and he thought he might as well use it.

I did quite want a Roku bag, but was wary about buying one unseen (I know you can return them but I'm getting sick of spending money on delivery and returns and ending up with nothing) and I also have 2 other decent rucksacks so couldn't justify a third. And sadly they're both good quality so likely last for decades.

Do you mean Roka? 🤔

Borgonzola · 18/03/2024 13:07

I have one Grin but didn't know it was a MN thing

thepastinsidethepresent · 18/03/2024 13:10

I always wonder!

The doctor who came out to see my DM recently had a Roka backpack and said she'd got it in the lucky dip, I was dying to ask her if she was a MNer!

Bjorkdidit · 18/03/2024 15:05

She wasn't on BBC Breakfast News during COVID was she?

One of the GPs who used to talk about COVID issues had a stunt pineapple in her kitchen and I wondered if that was her admitting to being a Mumsnetter.

ThePoshUns · 18/03/2024 15:20

I think you mean Roka. I don't associate them with MN though.

Pieceofpurplesky · 18/03/2024 15:31

I mean Roka sorry! If you know you know - every year many people trade stories of their surprise bags in here!

My friend has one. Would love to ask.

Ha. I have one but I think they're just a middle class mum thing, like That Joules Coat and That Other Joules Coat.

ManchesterBeatrice · 18/03/2024 18:38

They definately are mumsy!

IwishIdidntlikesugar · 18/03/2024 18:53

No but I do feel sorry for myself when I see them because I really wanted one a couple of years ago when they were fairly rare and now I don’t want one because everyone has one.

losthj · 18/03/2024 21:00

@Pieceofpurplesky absolutely as I said.

Perhaps this needs moved to style where the original threads were.

For those that missed it someone posted last year about the January lucky dip where you paid £25 I think but got a random back with a free delivery code.

It then got even bigger this year because ROKA terms were no exchanges but head to Mumsnet as people there would swop.

I did but last year, and happily swop this year.

I have neither style nor beauty but it makes a good step down from a big changing bag.

Pieceofpurplesky · 18/03/2024 22:04

Good idea to move it!

I’ve got one. I bought it in an achingly middle class shop. I love it but never thought it was anything to do with MN.

Pieceofpurplesky · 18/03/2024 23:43

@OutOfTheHouse you need to play the game next year!

I love my ROKA Paddington B from the lucky dip this year

And yes I do sometimes wonder if anyone recognises it as such in that I'm a MNer

UpsideLeft · 19/03/2024 02:28

I haven't seen many around though and I'd have thought I would by now

What game?

mondaytosunday · 19/03/2024 07:49

Had to google it. Don't think I've ever seen one of those (I live in London).
