I just talked to the sales clerk at the Lesportsac Ala Moana and what he said is that there contract with tokidoki has expired and they have 8 months only to do any type of re release of the tokidoki prints so after that anyone who has one is a very lucky gal. I want a pirata diaper bag but 200 plus on ebay is too much for the fact that I am soo afraid of buying a fake. you can find fakes every where here in Hawaii, sigh real life pirates messing with my pirata print.

I’ve been wanting a Foresta Avventura…but of course, not living in the US makes the news flow to us much slower…so I’ve missed out…

If anyone does have one…PLEASE let me know. I’m totally in love with the Foresta.

So it’s true that Le Sportsac will be re-releasing a style in the spring time in the mainland or is the only re-release going to be the foresta in hawaii.

Hawaii is considered “international” therefore our prices are a bit higher than what it would cost on the mainland as the cost of shipping is factored into the Hawaii retail cost - not to mention the sales tax that has gone up this past year :(.

In order for us to purchase Lesportsac close to what it retails for on the mainland we have to wait until it goes to the outlet and even waiting for that the styles are VERY VERY VERY limited.

I’ve noticed Coach and Lesportsac retail is set higher because of Hawaii’s international status.

Yeah, it is a shame that the prices are high. But really how else are us main-landers supposed to get a Foresta other than on eBay? The only way is by someone buying and reselling. And they’re not selling them for any more than the original Forestas are going for. If there weren’t resellers, only Hawaii girls would get to have the bags. That hardly seems fair either.
