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

I’m too lazy to check but I actually think my original small bantry is emerald and my medium Finchley is forest green.

Sod it. Have just got a midi LD too. How long are the delivery times?

I ordered v late Saturday I think and delivered today

I’m tempted to have another go! Love bags 😂

I was delighted with my medium Bantry that I've gone back again...glutton for punishment (or just like living on the edge a teeny tiny bit with this lucky dip)!

Unfortunately the code for free P&P has stopped working but I was able to get 10% off with another code so at least that's something.

Gone for another Maxi dip so I'll report back what I get when it arrives

Hey guys! I was just wondering what havs you been getting in your mini dips the last few days? X

I received my second bag - creative waste Canfield in black and olive green! I love both the bags I received and probably would have chosen these ones if I were picking myself!

Well my FOMO got the better of me and although I didn't get a LD I did search FB and ebay for a small Bantry B. Picked one up today for £15 and I luffs it. It's more of a practical grab/day bag than my Finchley A which is more of a day trip bag. Not that much difference in size really but smaller enough to be more practical and the nylon cover is less rigid than the Finchley. It's also a lush ginger/black. I'm a happy polar bear 😄

Is anyone still waiting on bags? I love the surprise element, tempted to go another round tbh.

If you're using it what do you think?

My med finchley is now my work bag, it's perfect. Larger than I need but not too roomy.

I've been using the Paddington as my day bag. I was surprised at the size once I tried to get all my stuff in. It's fine for my standard bits but no good if I need to stuff in any extras like my tiny brolly or some food or an extra base layer which I can usually just about ram into my usual small bag.

So this has made me look at the medium Kennington I recieved. I don't like it because its black but its a great size and I think would be perfect for those days when I carry a bit more. Trying to decide whether to use it or get one in a different colour.

I also bought a trafalgar from vinted which I'm still waiting for and a Paddington hip bag for dog and horse treats which is absolutely perfect.

I'm after a bit of advice on people who have had the same scenario if I can.. I ordered three midis on Monday all in the same order and have just had a Roka delivery arrive with only 1 midi item. Did anyone else have this and did the other just follow in a separate package or did you have to chase for the remaining items?

I've had 2 orders and all came together.

I contacted roka via the customer service email in the order email and they got back to me within hours so I'd do that if you're concerned.

I will not order this year , I will not order this year , I will not order this year .
Oops just had a case of FOMO and ordered .
Maxi on its way .

@GreyBlackBay thank you for the reply. I sent them a message via the website with a polite query and they have already apologised and I have the two midi bags on the way (and I could see what they chose). Great service and quicker than I expected to respond.

This was me at the start of the last thread. Now I own a new cranberry bayswater. I've decided Roka think I love red as I ended up with 2 red bags last year.

On the upside, at least I can easily camouflage it among the other bags and reduce questions such as "why do you need ANOTHER rucksack??" from DH.

I'm still dithering, I'd love for eg a cranberry Bayswater or a Canfield but a small Bantry would be a big disappointment and not something I'd use. Did someone have the theory that they're sending the bags out in batches?

I've also seen the Waterhouse irl (John Lewis) and really liked it. They probably won't be in the dips?

I was debating which new bag to get for work and went for a Maxi Lucky dip.

It arrived today and I got a medium Canfield Creative waste in Black/Seaport.

So far I really like it! If I’d have chosen I would probably have gone for all one colour, but just pleased not to have got a tote bag or a small backpack.

@JulesJules - lots of people seem to think that ROKA are opening ‘boxes’ of a style at a time. Certainly, I got a small Bantry B at the tail end of when ‘everyone’ was getting them. But it’s also equally possible that they were the size/style ROKA most wanted to shift, perhaps due to surplus stock. Ditto the Paddington D bags in the Mini, (these don’t seem to be for individual sale on the website), which lots of people were getting last week.

I got a c/body Chelsea in my Mini, (which is great for the gym).

You can see on Vinted that they are sending out batches of certain bags because multiples keep popping up at the same time.

On here, someone got a cranberry Bayswater the same day I did, and I definitely saw black Trafalgars and bantrys going up when I received mine.

I said the same and then went for a maxi, and was so happy I did - I got a large Finchley in Pacific which is perfect and exactly what I would I would have chosen myself and a total bargain for £29.99 :)

A quick straw poll.......what do we all think of the Moorgate? Would you buy it/use it?

@ForTheLoveOfJackDaniels mmm, interesting question. I now like my Trafalgar for work, (despite the horrid colour), but I am not sure about those outside pockets on the Moorgate. Having said that, it looks great for work if you need to take in a laptop.

I think some colours make those outer pockets less obtrusive than others. Midnight would be my preferred colour.

Hopefully they continue til the end of month, might have antoher maxi and mini go.

Or are people have with the midis?

Thanks for coming back. I'm not sure either! I've ended up with one in Taupe and trying to decide if I should send it back, as I'm trying to find a use for it, rather than really like and need it.....

@ForTheLoveOfJackDaniels I just got one in purple and love it. I will use it for work ... laptop, junk etc. Outside pockets are great for separating the things I need in a hurry like car keys, office keys, driving glasses. They are being sent in the maxi dip currently. Lots on fb for sale/swap at dip price

I just caved and ordered a maxi!
