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

@Jins you could try selling it on fb/ebay - I think it would go quickly

I had a look on Vinted @comewhinewith and there weren’t any neon pink ones but I just want it gone and get Roka out of my head.

I’d sell my others but they are black and not very popular. They can live in my wardrobe for now.

Now - off to look at Kipling again 😆

@Jins I've just seen one go quickly on the Facebook group, so it might be worth trying. I also have a lot of black bags, so will hang onto them for now until the excitement has died down a bit.

There seem to be a few neon pink Chelseas turning up. I’ll see if CS reply by the end of the day and if not it’ll go to charity.

Yay, just got my last 2 LDs! No black, no gloves, no socks, no scarf, so pretty pleased.

Kennington blue stripes
Jubilee sparkling cosmo - bright pink!
Paddington cranberry
Chelsea saffron

Canfield punch (or prawn!)
(Another) Paddington burnt orange

Nothing that made me go urghh, at least. Just have to decide on what I really need (like) and what will make good gifts for my nearest and dearest. Not sure I'll do LD again next time, too much stress with CS/communication from Roka.

CS have redeemed themselves somewhat in a phone call and the vile neon pink monstrosity is winging its way back to them.

I’m done with lucky dips, should have stopped with one.

@comewhinewith - your order was identical to mine, except I got a small Bantry (again😹), instead of a Canfield. I think the Canfield minis are better than the Bantry, so you did pretty well.

Check those gloves carefully, (mine were faulty).

Oh dear @Jins - such a shame you didn’t like the bag, but at least you finally got hold of CS. Did they offer you an alternative?

Re: Small Chelsea - I am using mine for the gym, but it’s so small and flat that I can also wear it underneath my coat, (which is quite handy for keeping things safe in less salubrious areas).

I'm going to keep my Canfield, marine Paddington & gloves (as long as they're not damaged).

Will be selling/swapping the bantry, trafalgar, Kennington & black Paddington.

I got a Chelsea last year and used it to keep my passport and phone in on my holiday flight - it was really handy for that.

I was hoping for a Chelsea for exactly the reasons mentioned. I have a small passport holder already but it’s too small for my phone as well. The neon pink wasn’t exactly great for disguising valuables 😆

I could have tried selling it but I just wanted it gone. If I was sure it would have sold quickly I’d have listed it but the market is pretty swamped at the moment and it would have ended up in the charity collection at some point. Better just to get my money back then I can buy a Chelsea in a colour that suits me in my own time.

I have just sold one of my little bags on eBay - it only took 24 hours to find a buyer. I sold it for what I paid - the Mini LD price - as it was one I bought without any discount. I’m sad to see it go in a way, but I didn’t need three!

Debating whether to put one of the Bantry bags on - I don’t need two of those, either.

I think the brighter colours are more popular-but the Custard colour is sort of growing on me.

Royal Mail have just (yes just after 7pm) delivered my one and only order. I ordered 2 lucky dip maxis and socks to make it up to over £60 to get the free midi and free mini lucky dips

I received
Mini - all black chelsea with purple zips
Midi- paddington B in cranberry
Maxi - Bantry B small neon pink
Maxi - Canfield B medium black with airforce zips

Quite pleased for my first Roka purchase. Not entirely sure about the paddington although it is is bigger than I thought. Also Neon pink isn't normally me but do quite like it

@Justhereforthechristmasthreads - I am really jealous of that order!

You also avoided the gloves!

@IlovePond there was a lot of gloves posted on the FB page today so I was thinking I'd get some but definitely got lucky

I didn't think I'd end up keeping them all when I ordered but I think I am definitely keeping 3 of the 4 and undecided on the Paddington

I love that we all love different things. I just swapped my spare Chelsea for a second pair of gloves - I love the gloves!

I have, however, reduced my expanding collection of small backpacks. No one needs 3 small bantry and a small canfield!
I have kept 2 Trafalgars and 2 Moorgates so I feel very pleased with my new work rotation.
And our son is the happy recipient of 2 backpacks that he didn't even realise he needed!

All in all an excellent LD season and I am very grateful for the FB swap page because I did try to list a backpack on Vinted but my new account application was rejected and I was barred because they thought I was dodgy. I am a 53 year old accountant trying to sell a small bantry, I mean....!

Anyway, Roka should bar me next year just because I clearly can't control my bag addiction.

I’m going to try really hard next year not to LD and just buy the bags I like from others selling them.

Watch me fail with that intention though!! 😂

@Loverofbags, inspired by your little flannel pea-coloured bag I've been on the hunt for one. Roka hasn't stocked them for a year or two but I finally it, as new, on Vinted. It's fab and I'm thrilled.

. . . finally found it

Just received my final lucky dip. Is anyone interested in a Paddington B in cranberry for £23 including postage or a small bantry in punch for £33 including postage? Just looking to cover the lucky dip price and postage. Also got a very nice green Trafalgar but I'm keeping that I'm afraid :)

10% off, (including gift cards) and free shipping at ROKA today only.

I've loved this thread. I didn't get a lucky dip in the end because I got myself a small Bantry B on FB for the bargain price of £10 on the back of it. I love it. See you all again next year.

I have just seen the new range of pastels.....

So pretty.

Aren't they lovely! My bank card is staying firmly in its wallet where it belongs as I spent too much on the LD and a couple of other bags I bought (oops) but I'd definitely have been tempted otherwise.

I live overseas and didn't take part in the LD this time, but sure as shit I am going to next time for one (or two) of these 😂

I’m finding the pastels very easy to resist 🤣

I think they're lovely. I went for 2 Lucky Dips and both were very muted colours so I am very tempted to get something with a little pop of colour.
The Denim Rain or the Indigo Tonal are starting to draw me in...the Mixed Hickory is also nice but it might be a bit too 'in your face' if you get me, the stripes are very startling to me.

I particularly like the Bond style of bag and the Willesden style...oh...what to do????
