The Carnaby XL really is the little bag that does it all. Wear it as a crossbody, use it as a wallet, or carry it as a pouch, the removable, adjustable strap makes it easy to switch things up. Its one of those genius essentials you will wonder how you ever lived without! With three roomy compartments and plenty of pockets, everything has its place, from cards and cash to coins, keys, your phone, and even a small bottle. No more digging around at the bottom of your bag. Made from recycled materials, the Carnaby XL is lightweight, tough, and weather resistant, so it is always ready for whatever your day brings. Whether you are running errands, heading out for the evening, or pairing it with your favourite ROKA London backpack, this bag is stylish, practical, and the perfect everyday companion.
The outer and base materials are weather resistant recycled canvas (triple-coated) with a lining material made from recycled nylon. The hardware is made from galvanised, smoked, branded metal and the strap is cotton webbing with an adjustable length. Sturdy durable chunky zips allow easy glide and quick opening for all ages.
Roka London canvas bags are crafted from recycled plastic bottles. They use recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) for their canvas-like material to give new life to a plastic that would otherwise end up in a landfill or worse, our oceans. The recycled canvas has a textured look and matte feel, combining sustainability with a touch of elegance.
All materials are water-resistant and coated with C0 water-repellent. No PFOS or PFOA are used in the process and the coating is fully compliant with UK&EU Laws. Roka do not use any animal products and all Roka London bags and backpacks are vegan-friendly and arrive in cornstarch-based, biodegradable packaging.

For all of us sustainable means many things but we feel an important factor is the life of a product. As our Grandparents taught us if we take care of things then they should last! All our products are selected with that in mind; they are built to last. They may cost a little more but once bought then they should last for many years, if not a lifetime! A benefit to your pocket, but also the planet.
If you find anything you disagree with or want to know more about then, please, just ask, this is an ongoing work in progress! Call us on 01993 867075 or email [email protected]. We care!
Roka London, a family company, truly care about our world and its future. So much so they have been certified as a B Corporation (or B Corp). To get this accreditation exacting social and environmental standards have to be met which represent a companies commitment to goals outside of shareholder profit.
The B Corp certification has 5 key impact areas; Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. The certification process is extremely rigorous with applicants being required to provide evidence of socially and environmentally responsible practices relating to energy supplies, waste and water use, worker compensation, diversity and corporate transparency. It is also compulsory to legally embed their commitment to a purpose beyond profit in their company articles.
100 million single use plastic bottles are used worldwide every day with a massive 80% of those never being recycled ending up in our landfills, our countryside and our oceans. Roka have created a sustainable range of bags made out of recycled plastic bottles and waste specifically to address this challenge to help recycle waste and protect all land and marine life.
PET material (polyethylene terephthalate, a raw petroleum-based material) is widely used in plastic bottles and other food packaging all over the world. Roka use recycled PET (or rPET) in their nylon sustainable bags giving a brand new and purposeful life to a material thats not biodegradable and would otherwise end up in landfill or the ocean.
For their canvas range Roka use waste from fabric production that would otherwise be thrown out, such as offcuts, rejects, scraps and trimming, and spin it all into a new repurposed and usable material.
Roka have also dived deep into the manufacturing processes developing a new production method that uses a whopping 85% less energy, 80% less water with 65% fewer emissions than traditional methods.
They have also taken a closer look at their packaging completely redesigning that as well. The Roka Sustainable range that we stock at homeArama comes in corn starch-based, biodegradable packaging.
All in all Roka is committed to a sustainable operation caring for their customers, their people, their communities and, of course, our planet. We are proud to be stockists here at homeArama.
