@Loverofbags I got a Paddington hip bag last year - they fit a surprising amount don't they?!! I wear mine across my body rather than around my waist.

Internal measurements are, and these are inside an empty bag:
28cm bottom to top
18cm left to right
8cm front to back.

I could easily fit two full loo rolls in and have room left.
See pics 😁
(Loo roll for scale.. lol)

Marvellous! Thanks so much for taking the time to post this. Super helpful.

Public service announcement - someone on the FB swap site says they have phoned re a missing item and they have no medium or large bags left.

Uneasypeasy · 02/01/2025 14:27

Received my dip from the 28th!!

Maxi - small Bantry in Cranberry nylon (although a bit annoyed it wasn't in the price bracket I expected when I ordered, this one will be perfect for taking to football so happy with this one)

Maxi - small Finchley in Custard canvas - not 100% keen on the colour but it's OK, I really wanted a Finchley in M or L to use as a weekend bag - the small is even smaller than I expected so I'm not sure what I'd use it for so might save and use as a present for my Mum - might be open to swap!).

Midi - a Paddington B in black nylon. I have another Paddington in Khaki - but like the black for more formal use. Happy with this!

I still have a couple of minis and a maxi to come because I'm far too addicted to Roka bags....

I had a Willesden in the lucky dip last year. Found it a bit fiddly to wear but held a decent amount

So soon? Blimey, that's a bit poor.

mauvish · 02/01/2025 14:29

With my "maxi" which was actually a small Bantry in boring grey, I am getting some serious bag envy about all of you who've got bigger bags in lovely colours!

So everyone who orders a maxi dip will now get a small Bantry then...

parttimepunk · 02/01/2025 14:34

Thanks @ohbygolly. I've never ordered from Roka before and am fairly unimpressed.

LuckyDuckyRoka · 02/01/2025 14:45

@Sequentially love the scribble Bantry!

SabrinaThwaite · 02/01/2025 14:46

I broke and ordered a maxi on Sat evening with std Royal Mail shipping - arrived today, a medium Bantry in shiny cranberry. Think I got lucky as I am living the colour. My fall back was sending it back for a refund.

I bet they are - suspect they have a big box of one type and colour that they work through before moving onto the next one.

Loverofbags · 02/01/2025 15:16

I've wondered if they pick us a colour palette, for example last year I got a pea flannel small bantry and a large flax finchley (similar colours). Then I requested a large cranberry Canfield. This year I've had a medium dark orange Canfield, an orange tote and a little red Paddington! All similar colours! Good job i like reds and oranges 😅😅😅

welshweasel · 02/01/2025 15:34

PenelopeParallelogram · 02/01/2025 12:32

Flush with the success of getting a medium all black Canfield in my first Maxi dip, I went again and now have a medium nylon Bantry in Candy

Argh I wish I'd got this one instead of the cranberry

TheDogIsInCharge · 02/01/2025 15:37

Uurrrrgh - mine arrived today and is a small Bantry B in Cranberry nylon. I have emailed as I ordered before the price change. Let's see what they say.

I only got one due to the excitement generated by this thread - I know, I know, I'm a sheepie. And to be fair some people have got very decent bags. When I ordered a maxi I was hoping for a bag I could get my laptop in, but the small Bantry B is beyond useless for me, I'll never use it, and no one in my family would want it either. So it's going back.

It's concerning that there are a whole variety of emails from Roka customer services to people who have emailed: some with vouchers, some with discounts, some have had no reply. I do feel that lack of staff over the Christmas period is adding to the woes but then perhaps next year they should structure the sale so that it goes live when they are fully staffed... and when they have proof read their own terms and conditions.

When I first read about this lucky dip, I thought it was a genuinely fun thing to do. But as the days have gone on, this thread and the Facebook group seem to show that it was really a way to offload a tons of small backpacks in their least popular colours. Which wasn't what appeared to happen last year.

No, it wasn't - as I said I got a large Finchley in Forest which was still a full price item - it's possible it was a return or second but it looked pristine.

Take Facebook with a pinch of salt I guess but I just wanted to post in case anyone was swaying in the hope of a larger bag.

I'm hoping I don't get this as my second dip last year was a red medium canvas Bantry!

I got a reply back from customer services with a 30% off code - not helpful!!

I am always amazed at how much I can fit in!!

How vexing. There has been complete disparity between their responses to people. Have they got some sort of secret tier system for their customers?

How long was it between emailing and getting a response?

In response to my email about receiving a small bantry, they offered to send me out a medium backpack and a mini dip as a goodwill gesture.

I haven't seen anyone given anything close to that option, your email just have been incredibly compelling. 😮

I have been offered a medium backpack, but not a mini as well.

Amazing! Great outcome! I've always found them to be a kind and helpful team.
