Roka Lucky dip 2025 thread 2

[NoOneKnowsWhoYouAre]

Thought I'd start a follow on thread as I'm not about till tomorrow and I'm loving see all the LD arrivals, definitely doing some more next week.

1st thread here: www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5237738-roka-lucky-dip

Two Roka-ettes on the FB group received the exact same order as me today!

It's not looking hopefully for anything other paddingtons or small backpacks!

Agree. I think they sent out those stripy CW Canfields to lure us all back for more… but intending to give most of us the usual stuff!

@MinstrelGirl Have you received your last order yet?

Nope, ordered Sunday. Have you?

@MinstrelGirl No I ordered Sunday too .... I am hoping they move on from the boxes of marine Paddingtons before they select mine. I have had 3 blue paddingtons this month, in varying shades!

Yep. Already sold one Marine Paddington lol! I’m really hoping I don’t get another purple Trafalgar either. Lots appearing on Vinted!

Banking on it arriving tomorrow! Ordered purposely so it would arrive when Husband at work!! 🤣🫣😭🤦🏼‍♀️

@MinstrelGirl Sounds familiar. I thought it would arrive today while husband was out but alas it's going to be tomorrow or the weekend. I just came up with the most feeble excuse to wfh tomorrow.... so I can answer the door and sneak it away.
There are so many bags appearing on FB now. I think everyone will wait until their final orders are in, then decide which bags to keep, then the resale sites will be flooded with spare bags. I just hope I like what they send!

I'm following the FB swap group and some people are listing 4 or 5 at once, that must be their whole order so either addicted the the thrill of it or ordering loads hoping for one in particular. I totally understand tbh, I've still got 5 on my basket.

If anyone gets a medium/large backpack or a Kennington in Seaport and wants a swap or sell I'm here waiting!

Really wish I had contacted them to swap socks for Mini earlier in the week, but too late now. I’m away atm so if my order arrives tomorrow I won’t know what’s in it until Saturday. I really must not order again 🙈🙈

I had this exact order! I really like the Paddington and I think I’m going to either keep or gift the Canfield but I really don’t like the Trafalgar at all. It’s just the colour. It’s too, well purple! And with nylon it somehow looks even more purple. I don’t know, not for me (if anyone here is interested in a swap or buying?).

To add - I’m in the group but I didn’t post my order. So make that another one to the count!

@StormyPotatoes - as the proud owner of a lilac - aka purple Trafalgar - I feel your pain! It has grown on me a bit and it’s a very useful and comfortable tote.

My order was this as well, I plan on returning mine in full and have placed one final order of 2 maxis and a midi and then the free midi and mini.

@MrsBnow12 Do you know how long it takes them to process the refund, by any chance? I returned a parcel last Sunday and they confirmed receipt on Tuesday but the email said the refund would take up to 5 days. I was going to use the gift card credit to do a final dip tomorrow (exchanges don't count as new orders do they?!) but I don't think it will be processed in time? Thx

@manpan1 Unfortunately not as never returned anything to them before.
Hopefully someone else will come along who can help you? I also expect timeframes are longer due to the LD and influx of orders

Just received my order from Saturday (2x Maxis and free Midi) and got:

Small Creative Waste Graphite/Burnt Orange Bantry B Nylon

Medium Creative Waste Canfield All Black Purple Capsule Nylon

Small Carbon Paddington B Canvas

Can't say I'm enthralled with any of them, but surprisingly I do actually like the Bantry- just need to think if I will use it. The Paddington could be useful, but the colour is a bit boring.

I thought I would like the Canfield as a work bag, but I currently use an Osprey backpack and the Roka just doesn't feel as nice. Although, it might be a nicer bag when I'm going to my closer office, as opposed to my longer journeys to London (as it has padded straps).

I also have a Medium Mountain Green Finchley from my last LD.... I much prefer the colour of that one but I already have a sage green coat and I think it's just too much green!

Gah. I don't need all these bags. Why did I dip again?!

I’ve a marine Paddington B if you fancied swapping for a different colour?

@ElatedReader Thanks for the offer, but I'm not too fussed with swapping it. After sleeping on it, dark grey/black is probably a more practical colour for me!

I think I've decided I will just sell on my Finchley and Canfield. Realistically I just can't see myself using them- unless I replace my large Finchley with the medium but that just feels a bit silly. Oddly enough I really wanted a CW backpack and got the purple I wanted, I just wish it was the CW where the whole top was purple instead as the all black is just too much for me.

Ironically after worrying about getting a Bantry from all the earlier mess, I actually do like mine! So will be keeping that one and the Paddington (as it was free).

Free postage is back.
I told myself if they did free postage on the last day I would order a maxi. It's like they read my mind!

@Thingsthatgo I think if my Sunday order doesn't arrive today I may be tempted to order another 2 maxis, just to hedge my bets. I won't order one maxi because I don't want another small backpack and I think they are more likely to add a larger one if I order more than one.... oh the rubbish logic behind ordering so many!!

Guess what... I got a small black Bantry as my maxi LD!! Paddington B in marine as a midi and a Paddington D as my mini in grey. Also got some hideous gloves as a mini.

Bit of a shit LD but they are the risks I suppose. I'll gift them to people throughout the year.

Another bit of temptation to resist 😮

No - I said I was done and I’m done. Much though I’d love a small cranberry bantry I’m not going again.

@NoOneKnowsWhoYouAre I am really tempted to order again now... just in case I get that haul!! Did that arrive today? I ordered Sunday so not sure when mine will be here

I ordered on Saturday and they arrived yesterday. Good luck!!
