Rumor Confirmed: There WILL Be a New Line of tokidoki Bags Coming Soon
Many thanks to Saki for sending me a link to an interview with Simone at JoshSpear.com that includes all sorts of exciting info, including confirmation that there definitely will be a new line of bags branded only as tokidoki - “but made by same people behind LeSportsac; same team, same factories.”
Me: w00t!
Wallet: *FEAR*
Other exciting news, all lifted from the interview: the next cactus friends toy released will be the cactus punk character! That will be a must have for me. Also coming soon are “tokidoki denim in Europe; the two cats of adios and ciao ciao called Skeletrino and Skeletrina; a new line of New Era hats; mimobots; plushes; new lines of watches, jewelry, and other cool stuff.”
ANNNDD - there are plans to open a tokidoki store in the USA in 2009. Simone is “looking for a location.”
CAN’T WAIT!!!

OMGG AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF GOOOD NEWSS!!!
I WANT IT ALLLLLLL!!!
^______^!!
I hope he comes to MOA
(I don’t want to start a war again about fashion capitals and whatever.. just wishful thinking T_T cause we all wish he was everywhere XD)

Realistically I am thinking the store might be in LA, because that is where Simone lives - it would just make the most sense. But I certainly wouldn’t complain if it wound up in NYC.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
I wouldn’t complain if it was NYC either or even CA.. haha I visit those places for the summer so it’s good 8]
Also I agree with you Stephanie on the punk rock cactus! I got the shirt and I ADORE IT so it would be awesome to get the toy. And jeans.. cannot wait~ I always see the RnR jeans around the tokidoki area and it makes me wish there were some td jeans!
February 11th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
OMG exciting news!! I hope the store opens up on the West coast. If it’s California then I can drive there from AZ in just a few hours.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
And I thought I was going to be able to save most of the money from my tax return. I’m afraid and excited at the same time.
*hopes that her economic stimulus rebate check is $600*
February 11th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Wow, you’ve been busy today, Stephanie!
I’m super juiced about a new tokidoki purse line, AND a U.S. based store! I’m hoping for L.A. - though my wallet won’t be too happy about that. AHHH!
February 11th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Forgot to ad,
I’m riding my bet on Los Angeles for the USA Tokidoki store too. It makes the most sense. Where ever it opens, I think we should have and official Tokidoki meet up when we get more information!
February 11th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
skepticism, I’m down! That would totally worth the trip to wherever!
February 11th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Hello! The website is not working for me, but does it say anything about what kind of bags there will be or the price range? I really want one of those European tote bags so I can carry my school books around, and out of my 8 tokidoki bags, none of them fit binders, so it would be amazing if I they’re going to make something on the bigger side that’s actually cute, because i’m not really a fan of the mesh that they’ve been using.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
No, the interview doesn’t give any details other than what I quoted. I am guessing they will be similar in look and price to the tokidoki for LeSportsac line though since LeSportsac is still manufacturing the bags.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Alright, thank you! I can’t wait!
February 11th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
I can *definitely* see a Tokidoki store opening in LA. It’s not SF, but the 5-6 hr drive will definitely be worth it
February 11th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
MORE bags? … a dream come TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like the others above, I think the store will be in L.A. Note to self: must get rid of fear of flying before 2009.
February 11th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Oh man, this is exciting news!!
I can’t wait!! Hope that store opens in CA! :3
February 11th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
cool beans!
February 11th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
I couldn’t stop smiling when I was reading the info. Yay!! I’m looking forward to more vinyls, and hopefully slightly cheaper tokidoki bags. I can’t wait to see the patterns.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
great news!!
February 11th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
ahh great news to hear after a so-so day
like everyone above, i would think the store will be in LA as well. i mean he lives there anyway and could drop in and such. i think the second place he may put it is in NYC *fingers crossed* because of all of the shopping and hussle-&-bussle.
finally the plushies are coming out! (if they came out when we originally thought they were, our wallets would have less of a hard time in the near future)
since they are coming out with the demin, i hope they come out with that European black hooded jacket (black cammo-ish) as well *drools*
oh and, NEW BAGS (still with LeSportsac great quality)?!!
*does cartwheels*
February 11th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
wow just when I read all that exciting news my wallet started to make a run for it xP! I always thought there was a tokidoki store in LA >_
February 11th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Oh man, this year is definitely going to be a super SWEET year!!! ^___^
February 11th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
This is exciting!! It’s sad for my wallet though…
February 12th, 2008 at 12:12 am
Wow!!! Some exciting news!! I cannot wait for that location to be opened here in the states and I’m hoping for it to be close (NYC). I emailed him about this before. Haha - he heard my prayers. Anyhoo, that cactus punk character is a must have for me too!!!!
February 12th, 2008 at 12:41 am
Omg cactus punk! And with Mad Barbarians toooooo wwowowow!
February 12th, 2008 at 1:13 am
Ommmmgggggooossshh!! I’m so excited I can’t wait! I guess my tokidoki obsession won’t be dying out anytime soon xDD
February 12th, 2008 at 1:36 am
weee!!! I didn’t catch on to tokidoki until a lot of the older prints were extinct (dang I let that wonderful Playground print pass me by)! Bring on the new tokidoki bags please!
A store in LA would be awesome! I’d gladly make the trip from Norcal just to visit it!
February 12th, 2008 at 2:23 am
I think tokidoki should have a chain of stores across the U.S.
More jewelry and bags, yay!
February 12th, 2008 at 3:31 am
awww, my poor wallet! just when i thought it was over…
but i’m excited to see what the new line looks like! i hope it’s cheaper.
February 12th, 2008 at 4:11 am
yay…I can’t wait for the new stuff, really looking forward to the new Onitsuka Tiger collab too =D Hope the store will be opened in LA, so excited with this awesome news XD
February 12th, 2008 at 6:01 am
WOOOO!! Can’t wait to hear where it is…. I’m muy excited!!
February 12th, 2008 at 10:08 am
I think the store will be in LA, close to home for Simone. And when that store is a huge success, he’ll open a second store in NYC (hope so)
February 12th, 2008 at 11:39 am
Ahh I hope the store will be in NY!! or maybe not … that will just make me spend even more … hmm a double edged sword …
Also, I’m happy that there will be a new line of bags and toys and stuff but I’m gonna be so broke >__
February 12th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
>__
February 12th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I hope the store is in L.A.- that way I can visit it everytime new goodies come out =)
February 12th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
I think it will be in LA. YES! new bags! I was only able to start buying tokidoki bags until last year, now i can form a bigger collection ~_~
February 12th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
that is soo exciting! i can’t wait!
and skeletrina - i can’t wait to see what she looks like! skeletrino is one of my favorites.
February 12th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
New bags!!!! Im happy yet scared!…..I dont know what to do, I wish we had a month or at least a season’s notice, so I (and my wallet) can be prepared!!!
February 12th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Los Angeles, por favor!
February 12th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
haha man someone else beat me to posting the interview, i had seen it before this got posted
February 12th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Wow, I am happy to hear there are more bags coming, but jeez this is going to kill my wallet .

there is a pic of skeletrina and skeletrino
February 13th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Jackie, are you sure that the all-black kitty is Skeletrina?
March 10th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Haha I guess there’s no rest for the Denaros…..
March 14th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
There should be a Tokidoki store in Houston but I highly doubt it. =[
