I got my Famiglia bag today (!) and wanted to report back. The background is definitely tan, not gray at all like it appeared in the ebay picture. However, the dots ARE larger than we all seemed to expect based on the first preview pic. I’d say they are about the size of a fifty cent piece, certainly bigger than a quarter. I got a Stellina as I’d planned and am really happy with it.

For those in Chicago: I got it at A. Okay Official at Clark/Aldine. They’ve received only part of their order. I remember also seeing a bambinone, a couple campeggios, a zucca, a diaper bag and another stellina. There may have been, I’m not sure.

I think the bag is fake too, especially after seeing the China pictures.

The bag retails for about $200 yet she’s selling a print that hasn’t been released yet for around $50.

The pictures are questionable and I’m especially suspicious of the one pic with the Quee on its side instead of full front so we can see the star on the arm (if it has one). I would think by now legit dealers would know what we’re looking for when we’re looking at Tokidoki bags.

Also, the bag looks wayyyy different from the preview pic posted here a while ago. I wouldn’t touch that auction with a ten foot pole.

i emailed her too and asked where she found the bag, she said “Its been awhile since I’ve had any Lesportsac handbags so I’m not up to date as to whats new prints and whats not but over the weekend I was at the right place at the right time. I’ve always been very lucky when it came to finding items to list. Thanks very much for the info.” thats an exact quote. so i dunno bout this one…. too fishy!

I emailed the seller. I told her I was interested in the bag but concerned about it’s authenticity. If she only got ONE to sell on eBay why is it not one of the more popular styles?

Her reply is that she lives near the tokidoki distribution facility in Kentucky (or was it Tennessee) and she gets her stuff from there. (I’m guessing she actually WORKS there). If you check out her other auctions the stuff all looks real but it’s unusual prints/styles. A Bianco Zucca, a Notte Gioco, not the stuff that is really really popular. If you are gonna fake stuff you fake the popular stuff that will sell..

just to comment on the EBay seller who listed the first “famiglia” print…i do not believe it to be authentic. my first hesitation would be that this print has yet to be released in the U.S and this person is selling it WAY bellow cost. also, if you go and see this persons other auctions (and there are soooooo many) you will notice that most if not ALL other tokidoki items were sold BELOW market value.
I think the photos are “intentionally” blurry.
where does this person get his/her merchandise from???
“somewhere” in the United States….i would rather wait and buy from a reputable location….also, i will wait till it reaches an outlet as i am not crazy for this print and will not pay full price….

All tokidoki bags have riri on the underside of the zipper if the seller does not want to send a picture of this SHOP WITH CAUTION. (All my tokidoki purses have this)

I love the new print will have to buy a buon viaggio and caramella.
