Roka London

ROKA London is an accessory brand founded in 2016 by Brett Katz and Emma Rosenberg. The name blends their surnames ROsenberg and KAtz, reflecting values of trust, integrity, and positivity. ROKA was born when Brett moved from sunnier climes to London and all his belongings got soaked during a typical British downpour, inspiring weather-resistant bags in bright colours. Their first product, the Bantry backpack, has since been sold worldwide in thousands of stores. All bags are made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET), giving new life to plastic that would otherwise end up in landfill. In 2020, ROKA expanded to the US as ORI London, named after their first child. They've collaborated with the Natural History Museum and launched a digital secondhand marketplace.
