I got my L’Amore bag! :)
Yaaaaay! I love it even more than I thought I would. I got a Buon Viaggio because I preferred the way the print looks against the black mesh on the side (it gives it some darker contrast - I know some people hate the black mesh but with this print, I love it!). There are still NO Tokidoki bags to be found in NYC or NJ stores… at least not that my friend and I could find… so I resorted to ebay. Miraculously, I won this bag for slightly under retail - and it has my ideal pattern placement! I agree with Mickey’s comment on an earlier post that the “doki” in “Tokidoki for LeSportsac” looks like a printing error, but fortunately I got pattern placement where it is barely noticeable on the front of the bag. Ok, on to the pictures!!

Cute, I think my mom is getting that one tomorrow ^__^ I got a Amore Gioco
April 7th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
OMG it’s sooo cute. I can’t wait till they come out in stores over here. I checked today, but no luck. :\

What’s the problem with the doki? I don’t see anything wrong with it on my Mamma Mia….I can’t wait until I get my Zucca too…I f**king love Amore!

Absolut funny & cute these bags!!!

dangggg, i just looked @ mine and i have a problem with my doki also lolz. my bf said it’s probably the ink ran through probably cuz the letters were close together. haha. eh, idk. they should have a recall! lol, kidding. it’s not a big deal.

i have not seen an amore bag where the doki isn’t bold. i’ve looked at everyone that i’ve come across (which is about 15-20 of them).
i’d also like to compliment you on your choice of bag (i got a buon viaggio too).
i like the fact that you get the entire print on each side.

I got my gioco amore print bag at Nordstrom’s yesterday in Cerritos, CA. I took the last gioco off the manican and am so happy with my purse! I purchased the purse even though i have notice the bold doki print. All the other styles had the misprints as well. maybe lesportsac doesn’t carry the amore because of the misprints? Anyway…Nordstroms do sell them! =)

S- I am so happy you love your bag! You did get great print placement. Also, the fact that you paid below retail is an added plus!
*to Irene & Leslie- i looked at quite a few bags (12-15) as well and they had the bolded “doki”. I don’t believe it is ink bleeding during printing but it def sticks out and just seemed a bit distracting to me- I still think it is a gorgeous bag.

sorry- I meant to reply to Jesseka and Irene-
April 8th, 2007 at 10:16 pm
haha ok
yeah, i just think it was made like that. my bf is the one who thinks it bled through…but if it did, it wouldn’t be consistent eh? idk.

I got my Gioco today and it is soooo cute. I love it.
April 9th, 2007 at 8:18 pm
Thanks everyone! I’m glad that a bunch of you have found your own Amore bags too!
April 9th, 2007 at 8:44 pm
Irene, at Los Cerritos Center’s Nordstrom? YES! I’m going there tomorrow for some spring break shopping with my mom. Yay I’ll get to see the Amore bags!
April 10th, 2007 at 11:21 am
So cute!!! Even though the Buon Viaggio isn’t the most popular style, I think it’s great. It gives you the most uninterrupted print!!
April 10th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Pretty! I’m not hating the black mesh like I thought I would, either. It looks nice with the black outlining of the characters.
April 11th, 2007 at 8:10 pm
Coming out of lurking to say great Buon Vaggio!! I got my Campeggio and Portatelefono at the Stonestown Nordstrom’s in San Francisco. I believe Bloomingdales in SF has some in stock too. I was wondering what was up with the print on the bag, but since other people have that problem as well, I won’t freak out!!
I have pictures posted here:

Super-cute Campeggio, rhay! That is one of my very favorite Tokidoki bag styles. And thanks to Eris & Maggie!

I just found out about this print when I was surfing Nordstrom.com! I totally flipped out because it’s the cutest print ever, but I’m scratching my head over the whole thing that they didn’t publicize it through the LeSportSac website. Any answer to that question? I really have to go to my Macy’s and see if they have any!
April 12th, 2007 at 9:40 pm
yay i finally got my Amore Zucca from pulse yesterday! it is the most beautiful thing i’ve EVER seen
and to top it off, i just got back from my local Macy’s and brought home an Amore Dolce for 20% off!! so if you have a Macys nearby that has Amore, make sure you buy it w/ your Macys card cuz you get 20% off!!

walked into a store on bay st. toronto not even planning on buying a bag and fell in love with the tokidoki amour print. I got the Ciao Ciao. the gold hardware is my favourite thing and my qee of course. the print is beyond adorable.
April 17th, 2007 at 10:57 am
Hi, nice placement!! Is it possible to know which ebay seller you bought from? Thanks.
April 17th, 2007 at 7:48 pm
Jenn - I don’t know what the reason was, but my local LeSportsac store staff and online LeSportsac customer service both told me LeSportsac stores & the website would not carry the print. Maybe department stores & boutiques wanted an exclusive? I’m not sure.
oxsumomoxo - thanks for the advice! I should do that - I am hoping my local Macy’s FINALLY gets the Amore print in this week. I want a matching Denaro for my bag!
julianna - I really like the super-shiny gold on the l’amore bags too! And I’m not even usually a fan of gold.
Veyonce - the ebay seller was “uniquethreads.”

Does anyone know if the Lesportsac store sells amore?
April 22nd, 2007 at 11:45 am
never mind

Hi, I just got myself a new Lamore I guess, from the picture here, but is this the latest collection. I can’t seem to see this design in the website. I bought the Trenino but Iam afraid it is the old collection.

Kiki - I made this post back in April, so the L’Amore print has been out for a long time. There have been 3 other prints released since it came out.

Haha I have this bag. It’s not a printing error, the text is just darker where the heart is.
Lolol late post.
