No. I got sucked in like a sheep last year from a thread on MN. Managed to sell them at no loss on vinted. My learning was to pay a bit more (they were on a blanket x% off later in year and on some other websites) and get what you actually want and what suits you .

I saw a woman with a vomit coloured one on the tube last week and thought I bet you were suckered by the lucky dip

ForTheLoveOfJackDaniels · 26/12/2024 09:04

I'm playing again this year and have placed an order this morning :)

They're great bags, so hopeful I'll get something I love!

Noticed that they're offering refunds this time around if you're not happy with their selection, which I know was a concern last time.

No, t&c are different to previously .
Last years awful bucket hats which were not mention on the release day
Also they are the bags I reach for least.
I dislike the proportions.

Roka lucky dip.
Harrysutton · 26/12/2024 09:21

I'm in, I usually join when others bags start arriving so I'm excited to see what I get.

NoOneKnowsWhoYouAre · 26/12/2024 09:22

I've gone for a maxi one and hope to get a bag big enough for my laptop.

I started last year's thread! I got a gorgeous large forest green Finchley which I use all the time (which got me accused of being a plant working for Roka last year). It was my hand luggage for a trip to Copenhagen this year. The year before I got a red medium Bantry. However... I bought a Trafalgar and a Paddington B in the sale in black plus got a purple large Willesden for Christmas so I just don't think it's necessary this year.

Looking forward to seeing what others get though!

NoOneKnowsWhoYouAre · 26/12/2024 09:28

Last year I got the hip bag and I used it on all my holidays. This year I've used the key workers discount and got ove £5 off the maxi lucky dip. Looking forward to seeing what I get.

I was waiting and wondering to see if this thread would appear. I have not and won’t succumb but it’s a fun thread to read.

NotMyDayJob · 26/12/2024 09:44

Oh I didn’t know if this was still going! I got a rucksack style a few years ago when it was just one price. Tempted to go for a mini so that I’ve got something to put valuables in when travelling as the rucksack has been great for the train

hohoho24 · 26/12/2024 09:46

I'm in. Ordering a maxi - will report back! Used a new email address to get the 10% off first order to take the sting out of the £5 shipping charge.

GuffyTheDustBuster · 26/12/2024 09:54

I'm thinking not this year. 1st year I got 2 big rucksacks - gave one to my DIL. V nice.

Last year got a bright yellow round bag on a waist strap - which looks like a safety device. Dont use. A medium purse type thing which lacks any sort of fun. Dont use. And a brown one shoulder bag which was handy on city trips but didnt set my world alight!

fudgecat · 26/12/2024 10:17

So tempted to go for a maxi....

Magpiecomplex · 26/12/2024 10:29

Not sure if I'm going to bother this year. I pre-ordered a Luton bag in saffron which is on its way to me, other than that I have everything I need or want apart from a Trafalgar tote, so I'm probably better off just ordering one specifically. Will be fun watching this thread though!

tangobravo · 26/12/2024 10:52

Yes I'm in! Got one when my ds was a newborn and it's been a great day bag for his stuff. Another ds on the way so going to get another one. Used the teachers discount and got a maxi and a medium - hoping for a crossbody this time (and a backpack)

SabrinaThwaite · 26/12/2024 11:04

The Luton bag looks interesting - shame they’ve made it too long and deep to fit the EasyJet hand luggage dimensions though (unless you can squish it sufficiently).

TianasBayou · 26/12/2024 11:19

Not this year. I have two lovely ones from last year. One was a MN swap - a large yellow for a medium blue.

VerityUnreasonble · 26/12/2024 11:22

I seem to have ended up with a collection of Roka bags from some years of lucky dips so will try and stay out of it this year! Will keep an eye on vinted though, might have space for a Heathrow if they throw any samples of that in.

AnOceanOfVioletsInBloom · 26/12/2024 11:30

No. Interesting that they've changed their return policy on the lucky dip though. I bought one a couple of years ago and had to argue with them that legally I was entitled to a refund, their snotty response really put me off ever buying one of their products again.

NunyaBeeswax · 26/12/2024 11:33

I admit to being tempted a few times by this.

But I also think went hey first did it, it was a great marketing campaign that probably got a lot of traction and earned them a decent sum in profit selling off random stuff they can't sell..

I feel like they did one earlier in the year though. 🤔
Not sure I'll partake. I'd rather wait and get something I really want in a sale I think instead of risking getting something vile.

ETA: on the subject of Roka... Is their brolly any good? 😁

Philandbill · 26/12/2024 12:06

I'm in. I was pleased with the medium bag I got last year. I've gone for a maci this year. If I don't use it teenage/student DDs will.

troyandabedinthemorning · 26/12/2024 13:12

I've gone for two maxis. No idea why, I don't even need one! Hoping for a bag with water bottle pouches!

Marmaladegin · 26/12/2024 14:09

I want to be in but I'm hoping for a free delivery code...

MoiraRoseForever · 26/12/2024 14:11

I noticed that about refunds . I don’t think legally they could stop refunds ?

Also clarifying that maxi mystery could include small bags . I know people last year weren’t happy with that.

Doesn’t seem to say about hats ?

MoiraRoseForever · 26/12/2024 14:14

Any free delivery codes ?

LuckyDuckyRoka · 26/12/2024 14:25

People have used EMILYHAPPY for 10% off.. not free delivery but a gives you something off! Of course I’d ordered two maxis before seeing the code 🙈
