The Spiaggia Print Re-Release is June 20th!
Reader Ku`uipo just let me know that she received a call telling her that the tokidoki Spiaggia print re-release is happening tomorrow! Doors open at 9:30am at the Ala Moana LeSportsac store. As with the other tokidoki bag print re-releases, the Spiaggia print re-release is happening at LeSportsac stores in Hawaii and Guam only.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:06 am
WOW, thank God i already have a Spiagga bag hahahaha….lucky to pick up a L’amore Luna while i was in Hawaii! wahoooo…
June 20th, 2008 at 2:52 am
Thank you for posting this. I also received a phone message, and was told that for mail orders they won’t be able to send anything out for a few days because of the popularity of the bags. At this time they are just taking information.
I do hope there is enough for people who want them so they don’t have to buy from the secondary market (that includes me)
June 20th, 2008 at 3:47 am
HMMM not too keen on spiaggia. Will check it out… tho I think the first time around I got a Ciao Ciao and the matching wallet. Gah, I love the color inside, it excites me.
June 20th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Called the store back as requested, seems all mail orders have to wait three days and if there is anything left in the store then can try and get.
Doesn’t sound very good.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
I got my perfect placement MM with Sandy on both sides, HOORAY!
June 20th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
o_O I’m glad I got my Spiaggie too. Gawd knows how much they want now…
June 20th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Julie H - I seriously wouldn’t worry about them running out by Monday - L’amore was released last month and you can still find some styles in the some of the stores.
If you have a favorite character or want a specific print placement that might be a problem.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
ihatetdfakes:
is l’amore available in some stores?? are u talking about the HI lesportsac stores right? i’m a first timer to tokidoki and dont know much about ordering tokidoki out of ebay. Do the lesportsac stores charge for shipping? about how much is a cucciolo? i’m dying for a cucciolo in vacanze or trasporto even maybe a l’amore (if i get that desperate)…so any help is appreciated.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
originalone - lss ala moana only has the l’amore gioco left (i think that’s all i saw there this morning). i’m not sure about the other lss stores in waikiki. there is no vacanze left at ala moana. trasporto will be re-released in august. i just bought a cucciolo spiaggia this morning because they the SA said there wasn’t that many that came in with their shipment. they don’t know how many were at the other stores.
& can i just say it was nice meeting some people who are on the blog. it was nice to put user names with faces! see you at the famiglia re-release!!!!
June 21st, 2008 at 12:47 am
originalone- I’ve been to the three Waikiki locations and they still have a pretty good stock of L’amore left, although the popular styles (Mamma Mia, BV, Stellina etc.) are sold out already. The Ala Moana LSS would probably sell out the fastest since it’s in one of our biggest malls on Oahu. Waikiki normally sells out last because it is a pain (and expensive if you forget to get validated) to find parking!
From what I read - YES LSS charges for shipping. The Cucciolo is $239 plus tax.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:10 am
IhateTDfakes - does waikiki still have l’amore denaro?
June 21st, 2008 at 3:21 am
YEP they did
I dunno how many tho but I did notice one on the accessories display at the Kalakaua one. You might want to check out the LSS at Hyatt too.
June 21st, 2008 at 8:47 am
thank you ku’uipo and ihatetdfakes (love your username!)
and, congratulations on your cucciolo, ku’uipo!! i’m sure you are enjoying it.
and the diaper bag is an added eye-candy bonus. if i ever get a cucciolo, maybe i’d hang the diaper bag in the wall just to stare at the cuteness. lol
oh one question, what is the length of the zipper opening of the cucciolo when zipped up? what bothered me about the campeggio is that the zipper opening isnt the same as the length of the bag (have to insert my books diagonally to make it all fit in the bag)…that’s why i’m moving up to cucciolo. any suggestions besides cucciolo?
ladies, ok, in the future: if i am in the mainland and want to order a cucciolo from the HI LSS stores, will they let order in the day or release? what’s been the trend on that? will they let me pick pattern placement (im not that picky). i was wondering what you would suggest so that in the future if there is a re-release that i like, i can get my paws on a cucciolo.
thank you again, ladies.
June 21st, 2008 at 1:02 pm
originalone - you should look at an avventura - those are HUGE and open WAY wider than a cucciolo or campeggio.
From what I understand….and i could be wrong cause I do not work at LSS or have I ever had to mail order anything but from what I’ve heard from the past release. You cannot make your order on the day of the release - you have to wait 3 days. Payment has to be made via money order only (they do not take CC numbers over the phone). It would probably depend on the SA your talking to regarding pattern placement…IF you are looking for a scene normally they are really good about accomodating you if it is available.
BUT from what I hear there’s not too many of the larger bags available during the re-release. Ku’uipo, like myself, was probably one of the first people at the store yesterday LOL.
June 21st, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Hi,
I was just wondering how I can contact the store for a mail order?
I have been wanting and waiting for a spiaggia gioco and refuse to pay ebay prices for one! haha.

originalone - the length of the zipper is about 14 1/2 inches zipped up.
yes, i have been looking at my bag & am very happy with it. but then i read what IhateTDfakes wrote & i completely forgot about the avventura!!!! when i was there friday morning, none of the bags were out (shipment just got there about 9:10am). i stood there for the longest time trying to remember all the styles and staring at the cucciolo & the buon viaggio that the sa had given me. i think i am going to return my cucciolo if they have the avventura. i will be checking out the waikiki stores today…
June 21st, 2008 at 4:16 pm
come to royal hawaiian~ they have a lot!
June 21st, 2008 at 4:32 pm
lss - does the royal hawaiian still have any inferno items?
June 21st, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Wait, nevermind. lol I thinking about the hilton. Has anyone been there (the hilton) recently and noticed if anything in inferno was still available?
June 21st, 2008 at 8:23 pm
I’m glad I still have my Spiagga Stelina. -_- Some of the re-print prices are ridiculous.
I wish I lived in an area where I could find the bags in stores. ;_; all mail-order for me.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Hi, so I was just wondering how the whole buying process works. I’m from the mainland so I have to use money orders, correct? Does that mean I just send a store a money order, wait until they contact me, pick a bag, and they’ll send it to me? Thanks for any replies! =]
June 21st, 2008 at 10:31 pm
sunnybunny - First I think you should make contact with a LSS - they should be able to walk you through the process. I’m assuming you could probably just tell them what your looking for, desired print placement etc….they take your information down - they’ll tell you how much (with shipping & tax) and where to send the money order - and I’m assuming once they receive your payment than they ship out your bag.
But yes, I believe they only accept money orders/cashier’s checks. Just some advice (in my opinion) - the Ala Moana LSS is probably not the best place to call since its ALWAYS busy.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:44 pm
thanks ihatetdfakes and kuuipo for your very kind help and advice. i really appreciate it!!!
:D
kuuipo, awww sorry to hear u might be returning your cucciolo. sigh, cucciolo, why arent you in my hands? lol. i think bigger bags do look good with the spiaggia print. let us know if you find the avventura. thanks for the cucciolo zipper measurement! wow, 14.5″ sounds just right to throw books and a sweater in.
i was wondering about the avventura and buon viaggio. does it hold onto its squarish rectangle shape or does the sides flatten up easily making it look like a trapezoid shape while you are carrying it? i saw a pic of a gal wearing a avventura at purse forum, and it is massive! dont get me wrong, i do love big bags, but i’m 5′2 and think avventura might overwhelm me. just thinking of other options out there besides cucciolo because seems like cucciolo is a popular style that sells out easily, right?
thank you again!!!
June 21st, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Originalone - both the avventura and bv holds it shape for me….probably because I put alot of stuff in it LOL.
But yes…it is HUGE…
Yes - the bigger bags (cucciolo, bv and avventura etc.) do seem to be the ones to sell out the fastest but I think it’s mainly because they don’t bring in many of them to begin with.
June 21st, 2008 at 11:37 pm
IhateTDfakes- Thanks for ur fast response. And thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely try calling them
June 22nd, 2008 at 6:28 am
hey everyone, I had someone from LSS call me to tell me that when they get the trasporto in august, they will only have the small ones like the dolce, bella and bambinone, and that pretty much all the stores will only have those. Anyone else hear this? I am so bummed! I was hoping to get a ciao ciao or the cucciolo…I guess I have to look to ebay for it? Anyone got info about this?
So sad……
June 22nd, 2008 at 11:28 am
Jay-I haven’t heard that…I would take it with a grain of salt…unless the person you spoke with is the manager.
June 22nd, 2008 at 3:02 pm
IhateTDfakes–oh goodie! I still have hope! I don’t think she was the manager…she sounded really young. Thank you!
June 23rd, 2008 at 2:39 am
howzit, everyone. i was at lss ala moana this afternoon. i went to check out to see what they had left & my daughter was blowing her birthday $. i got the last avventura & it was perfect!!!!! i’m so glad that i went back. they knew exactly what i wanted (surfing monkey in the middle). (there is still the one on display.) also, the staff spent the time with my daughter as she really wanted a denaro with the jellyfish in the middle. the staff was so kind, patient as they went thru all the wallets with her until she found the perfect one for her. i just cannot say enough about the staff at lss ala moana.
also, as a side note: i found out that ala moana will be getting more spiaggia in wednesday. not sure what styles, but if you still looking for the perfect one for you, you may want to check then. i’ll be going back on wednesday to return my cucciolo & to see what other things they got.
June 23rd, 2008 at 8:09 pm
hey Jay, considering that the rhsc lss is the flagship store…
June 23rd, 2008 at 8:29 pm
jay - call ala moana store. when i asked them about what kind of bags they were going to carry for the famiglia re-release next month, they opened up a binder that listed the styles they were getting in. they were able to confirm that i could get my buon viaggio for famiglia.
June 23rd, 2008 at 8:47 pm
originalone - did you want to buy my cucciolo? let me know before this week friday. that’s when i am going to return it. i purchased an avventura instead. i have pics of the cucciolo here: http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm152/kuuipo66/tokidoki%2 0Spiaggia%20Cucciolo/
you can have it for what i paid. let me know. i feel bad for people who have to pay those sky high prices on ebay… i also have a matching denaro with a surfing adios on both sides that i was going to return because i found one with the surfing monkey!!!! (i love that surfing monkey…)
as for the avventura holding its shape. i don’t know. maybe when it is full it holds its shape than when it is empty? i just got the bag yesterday & have not put it to use yet. when i do, i will let you know. maybe someone else will answer your question.
June 23rd, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Thank you ku’uipo! I will call them to confirm! Also, out of curiosity, how much was your cucciolo? Thanks!
June 23rd, 2008 at 9:17 pm
One more thing…how fast do they sell out? I have a little one and I live super far from Ala moana. I worry that I will not be there in time when the trasporto comes in. I’m hoping to get a ciao ciao or the cucciolo
I know that is like in august but still that would be so so sad if I missed out. I know they call you like that day to tell you it’s in, right? boo hoo.
June 23rd, 2008 at 9:48 pm
can anybody tell me how much it cost for avventura??
June 23rd, 2008 at 9:52 pm
the cucciolo was $251 (that’s including tax).
as for how fast they sell out, i’m not sure. i guess it would be how high the demand is. i was lucky to get a bambione trasporto for my little one (she carries her moofia toys in it) the first time around. and if they are bringing in limited styles, it may be faster. as august approaches, you should try and get someone to go for you. i might have to do that b/c i have a sneaky feeling i’ll probably have to work that day…
June 23rd, 2008 at 10:13 pm
That is a very good idea ku’uipo. I’ll see if I can get someone to go for me. You think your boss will let you have a “tokidoki personal day” to go get your bag? hee hee. They should–don’t they realize how important these are?!
June 23rd, 2008 at 10:27 pm
i don’t know… i’ll let you know though. i always tell myself that i’m just gonna go look at the bags, but i walk away with stuff! i’m such an addict!!!!!!
June 24th, 2008 at 12:48 am
Hey if all else fails…day before release *cough* *cough* I’m sick. LOL
June 24th, 2008 at 2:31 am
I agree. I got sucked in and don’t even know how it happened. Now, my husband gets worried when I “just want to take a look…”– yeah right!
June 24th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Was wondering if anyone got called back from the mail order list? I haven’t and seeing all the new Spiaggia bags on Ebay is just disappointing. I am going to try calling again (long distance charges not good), but this is rather frustrating since I just wanted a purse for myself. I wish they weren’t selling them this way, makes me have a bad impression.
June 24th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Never mind, I called Ala Moana again and they did have the Campeggio, Portatelfono and Denero still, so yeah for that. I did get the impression they don’t have everything now, but did not ask about getting more in tomorrow.
June 24th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
julie h - what are you looking for? i am going down tomorrow. i can look for something if you want.
June 24th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Has anyone seen a L’amore Zucca or Gioco left anywhere??
June 24th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
lss ala moana had a l’amore gioco on sunday.
June 24th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Ku`uipo Thanks, I was able to put the Campeggio and Portatelfono on hold for mail order.
June 24th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
@ ku’uipo - i have a friend that is going to try to find me my perfect spiaggia denaro but just in case she doesn’t, do you mind helping me as well?
- please email me at tokibabe@gmail.com to discuss further. also, i learned from my nordies sa that they will be carrying the new toki line so in addition to MP, you might wanna ask the nordies sa at alas 
June 24th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
tokibabe - i will definitely ask nordies. thanks for the info!
i also sent you an email!
June 25th, 2008 at 12:06 am
ku’uip. Can you let me know when you find out if nordies will carry the new bags? Thanks!
June 25th, 2008 at 3:52 am
Just wanted to make a comment to Ku’uipo.. you are so sweet!! You helped me at Ala Moana LSS, i wanted the nuvola backpack and was so disappointed that it didn’t come in that style. But you helped me and now I have the stellina. And now just reading the blog, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your help.
You are so kind and your passion for tokidoki…love it. 
take care and hopefully see you at lss at the next re-release!
June 25th, 2008 at 4:51 am
thanks rkt! i had fun looking at all the bags with you. i thought i was in heaven with all those boxes surrounding us!!!! how are you enjoying your stellina? isn’t that an awesome style bag? i have an inferno in the stellina. in fact it was my first tokidoki bag!
remember to call lss ala moana tomorrow. when i was there on sunday, the girls told me that they should be getting more stuff in. they may have your nuvola yet! if i see one there, i’ll ask them to hold it for you. just let me know what you were looking for (print wise).
June 25th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Ku`uipo-do you still have that bag or denario for sale? if the other person doesnt want it I might be interested.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
hey all, I went to Lss today at ala moana. They new shipment has just come in. Looks like they had lots! I soooooooooo wanted to get something but had to be “good” to my word about “just looking”
That and hubby said “no” when I asked him. (hee hee). SO, for all of you in hawaii–get down there SOON! 
:)
June 25th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Ku’uipo,
oh my gosh. i’m so sorry for having replied late….this is my first visit since i last posted. i’m starting a new job and am going through a long frustrating orientation period while trying to finish moving into the new apartment.
i’m going to pass on the spiagga for now, Ku’uipo. so sorry for that. The reason being is that with the moving in combined with very limited budget now, i have to be a bit more picky on the designs I really want. Right now, i’m pretty set on the trasporto.
thank you so so so very very very much for your very very sweet and kind offer.
:) In August, maybe i’ll take you up on your kind offer to help me out with a cucciolo you dont mind. 
we can talk about it if you want, pls. email me at atypical.one@gmail.com.
June 26th, 2008 at 1:17 am
HI Ku’uipo- thanks so much. I just called the LSS and it didn’t come in nuvola again. I think I’ve given up on getting that bag. I’m really happy with the stellina though. Took it on a field trip on Monday with my daughter and I loved it! So thanks again for everything…
June 26th, 2008 at 1:47 am
rkt– do you wear the stellina like a messenger? is it really bulky and does it stick out? I was thinking of getting either that or the ciao ciao….hmm…
June 26th, 2008 at 2:43 am
Jay- I do wear it as a messenger.. it isn’t bulky at all. I was pleasantly surprised that I could fit my big Canon camera in it and it didn’t stick out that much! Hope this helps… I’m really happy with the stellina.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:31 am
Karen, yes i still have it & i have pics of another wallet i purchased up on photobucket as well. it has surfing adios on both sides. my middle child has decided she would like the surfing monkey (though i do not think it matches to well with her l’amore ciao).
rkt - i told you that the stellina is awesome. phone on the outside pocket, roomy inside… love it!!!
jay - so they had lots more, huh? i will be there tomorrow… so will my wallet…
June 26th, 2008 at 10:09 am
Ku`uipo is is possible to get your email to get more information and where to look for the pictures?
June 26th, 2008 at 12:02 pm

karen - my address is myty@hawaii.rr.com
if you scroll up this discussion, i put the link in one of my posts. please let me know soon b/c i have one more week to return it, but i hate doing multiple trips since gas prices are so HIGH!
June 26th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Ku’uipo, I’m pretty sure they had everything in stock. WHen I got there, they were still bringing things out! By the way, did anyone buy your cucciolo from you??
June 26th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
rkt–thanks for your input
do you use the stellina just for your camera or for everything else too like a purse? Decision, decisions….. 
June 26th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Jay - no i still have it in the closet… in the bag… if no one wants it, it is either going back to lss or possibly on eBay. i was thinking on doing a combo auction for the cucciolo & the denaro. i HATE returning, but love buying!!!! i still can’t believe that the avventura was more expensive than the cucciolo!
and can i just say something about the stellina? i think that for a smaller bag, i think it holds a lot. i had my wallet, my receipt wallet, a card wallet, and misc little things in the main compartment. i carried my phone & more stuff in the outside pockets. my only complaint is that the main zipper is a tad bit smaller than i would like it. i have a long wallet & sometimes i have to maneuver to put it in.
June 26th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Ku’uipo—ooh, you still have it. hmm. that is very tempting. Do you think you will return it if no one buys it or wait and see? wow! The avventura was MORE than the cucciolo? whoa.
Yes! Thank you for your input on the stellina!! I am thinking about it. Between that and the ciao ciao. In a way the ciao ciao is too long for me. I went to LSS to try one on for the first time to get a feel for it. But, I remember trying the stellina and like you said, it seem narrow to get into. Like, I noticed the campeggio compared to the cucciolo? They are only a little different from each other in size but the cucciolo is easier to get into, where the zipper does not fold. Does that make sense? Which print do you have the stellina in? Dangerous I tell you! I did not think I wanted the spiaggia but now it is calling my name I tell you!!
June 26th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
ku’uipo…oh! Forgot to mention. Would love to buy the cucciolo from you but do not have the funds right now (waaaaaa) so that was why I was asking how long you thought you’d have it
Also, how many bags do you have so far? I have 4 and I swear it started at 1…. the rest is a blur I tell you! 
:)
June 26th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Spoke TO JEWEL in Hawaii, one of the LSS manager… she still have a lot of SPiaggia Zucca Left…
June 26th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Ku`uipo - I doubt that you have worry about returning any Tokidoki items within two weeks. LSS makes exceptions for the Tokidoki stuff. I remember when the lamore print was first released and someone had returned a foresta ciao. lol
June 26th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
ok, just came from ala moana. the shipment of spiaggia yesterday was the last of it. so all they got now, is all they have left.
they had the best gioco on display, but i held back (believe it or not).
so, everyone better get a move on or pay eBay prices later…
tokibabe - check your email
jay - nordstrom’s said no they are not going to carry the new tokidoki bags (i am waiting on manager confirmation on this)
June 26th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Thank’s ku’uipo! Did they have any more cucciolo’s???
June 26th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
jay - i know they had one on display so i’m sure they do, but i don’t know how many.
June 26th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
also, i got confirmation from metropark manager today, they will be carrying the new line of tokidoki bags. yay!!!
they also have tokidoki hk plush, skeletrino/a, and various tokidoki hk items.
June 26th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
ku’uipo–do you know when they will get them? or when they come out? oooh…..
June 27th, 2008 at 1:13 am
jay - no… he wasn’t even sure. that’s ok. i try to go twice a month to check out their stuff.
June 27th, 2008 at 1:22 am
hmmmmmm, i just asked a SA at nordstrom’s the other day if they were going to carry the new line of bags.. of course she didn’t know but she said the manager for handbags happened to be there, so she walked on over and asked for me.. i didn’t follow, which maybe i should have.. but she came right back to me, and just said ‘maybe’.. so ‘maybe’ the ‘might’ carry it, it all depends on the ‘maker’ of the bags.. but maybe someone might want to go and ask also.. and as for metropark.. wow, maybe i need to start visiting their store also so i don’t miss out on anything!
btw, ku’uipo, don’t know if u remember me, but we were like one of the earliest ones on the re-release day.. i’m the one with the kids..
well, i finally left a first comment here. ^_-
June 27th, 2008 at 1:29 am
Mei Lee- after the 14 days return they usually just offer a merchandise credit.. or just a receipt actually.. i bought a l’amore zucca at the re-release and returned it after the 14-days was up and i was only given a reciept that stated my refund.. now that i was pretty scared of losing the reciept, esp since it was the amount for the price of the zucca purchased! instead of waiting so long for the spiaggia re-release, i went and purchased some other bags in fear i’d lose the receipt and would be without all that money i had already spent! so, that would be the only reason why u’d want to return by the 14-days.. and even if u purchase with that return credit, on the new receipt they will stamp it, so that they know u didn’t purchase it with regular money.. so it’s a bummer on that part!
June 27th, 2008 at 2:03 am
eyez - oh i see. i was just VERY surprised to see a foresta for the first time in person and that LSS in general accepted returns that were way past the 14 day mark. i didn’t ask if the customer received a refund in their original payment, but store credit sounds more reasonable than getting nothing at all. i’m kinda curious as to why people would return tokidoki stuff, since they are getting rarer as the months go by. lol i happened to peek in the ala moana location once and someone had just returned a paradiso campeggio with a nice placement.
June 27th, 2008 at 2:24 am
wow, i didn’t know their return policy is that lenient.. maybe i should try to return my inferno dolce.. lol! i didn’t even use it yet, and don’t know when i ever will because i already have an inferno mm that i use more.. haha!! j/k
i guess that just gives u a reason why u should always step into a LSS….because u never know when something no matter how rare the bag could be, it might just be there. *ya right*! i’m getting sad, that it’ll be over for the Lesportsac bags… i wish i could have collected from the beginning.. i hope the ‘newer’ bags can be as nice also, even tho i’ve already gotten somewhat a peek at them already.. i’m unsure.

LOL I’m already sad that I failed to notice how cute the Tokidoki bags are. I only began to notice them when I saw the re-release for the paradiso print in the window and was shocked that LSS was selling them in february/march of this year. I .
June 27th, 2008 at 3:35 am
Does anyone know which prints (if any) may still be available in the Scuola backpack style at the LSSs in Hawaii? I was hoping for L’Amore, but, fear it is too late.
Does anyone know if there are a selection of prints still available in the denaros (other than spiaggia) at the LSSs in Hawaii as well?
I too wish I could walk into a store to pick pattern placement, but, I will be trying to place a mail order over the phone. Thanks to everyone for all the valuable info.
June 27th, 2008 at 3:48 am
sielle - not too sure about the Scuola - it wasn’t something that I was looking for
you might want to call any one of the stores and inquire.
As far as the Denaros in Waikiki - I saw Paradiso and Spiaggia - Amore was sold out already.
If you call the LSS (especially the ones in Waikiki) you can request what you want and they’ll try and get what your looking for if they have it.
Just my advice…the Ala Moana store is the busiest store so if you are particular on print I wouldn’t call them…try the Waikiki stores first.
June 27th, 2008 at 4:02 am
hateTDfakes - ala moana busy? everytime i go there (except for re-release days), there is like only 3 other people in there. wow!
sielle - lss ala moana had a few more scuolas in spiaggia. as for the denaros, ala moana only has about 30 left. i just picked up another one (UGH! i did it again! but it had the surfing hula girl & bruttino on it.) my 10 year old looked thru them ALL! the staff again was so nice. they were so patient while she looked thru every single one! (i was there for a half hour.) they had some really nice ciaociaos left. i just snagged one with perfect placement for someone. call them!
June 27th, 2008 at 4:17 am
Ku’uipo - Sorry I should elaborate… Ala Moana, IMO, is the busiest store of the LSS stores on Oahu. Not to say that Ala Moana has hoards of crowds in there…just that the store picks up for them more than Waikiki being that they are in one of our major malls.
June 27th, 2008 at 4:18 am
And I agree…the staff at Ala Moana are really nice.
June 27th, 2008 at 5:10 am
i too, believe that ala moana is the busiest store.. whenever i’m in the waikiki stores it usually is ‘dead’ in there.. well they say at night is when it gets busy for waikiki.. and at ala moana they tend to sell out on their merchandise faster than waikiki.. so i think that goes to show that they r waay busier.. IMO. and yes, ala moana SA’s r the best.. at waikiki, umm maybe there r just a few who r nice too [like Jewel!
], but i have met some that like to pretend u aren’t even there.
June 27th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
eyez658 - nice too see you finally posting on the blog! yes, i remember you! so have you been down to the store since last week? buy anything new (like me?)
IhateTDfakes - i honestly didn’t know that ala moana was the busiest. i have never been to any of the waikiki stores so i don’t know how slow they are. & like i said, everythime me & the kids go to ala moana lss, there isn’t that many people in there. the busiest i ever saw it was re-release day.
so if waikiki isn’t that busy, is there more tokidoki stuff left over? (like inferno, paradiso, etc)?
June 27th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
AWSOME CAN SOMEONE SEND ME A PIC!
June 27th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Ku`uipo- In paradiso - bambino, bella, canguro, denaro and caramella is still left. In inferno - bambino and ciao is left.
Yes Waikiki is a pain to find reasonable parking which is why those stores tend to be slower.
June 27th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
since my friend lives in waikiki, and i’m usually visiting her every week [free parking!
], i tend to walk into one of the stores more than ala moana.. the store that Jewel works in is where i usually see most of the bags.. when i thought ala moana was out of paradiso, i walked into Jewel’s store and saw lots of paradiso left, of course that was a couple months back already, and those r already gone.. and when all the popular inferno pieces were gone at ala moana, at waikiki they still had stock.. so u can probably say that it takes twice longer for them to get their merchandise to sell.. the last time i stepped into Jewel’s store, which was this past monday, they probably only had an inferno ciao ciao left and i believe a bambino? i didn’t look too closely at them, *so don’t take my word*.. but right behind the register, they still had l’amore, not the popular bv’s and mm, but most of the other styles.. but i think since it’s summertime, waikiki does seem a bit busier i’ve noticed..
Ku’uipo.. since ala moana on the first day, i’ve been to the waikiki stores twice, tryna do CPs for others.. the last time i was there was probably on the 2nd shipment on wednesday, i bought a cucciolo for a CP at the ala moana location.. and then i went to the RHSC to get an avventura for another CP.. i only bought myself a BV on the first day.. the denaros i sold to my friend.. i was never lucky this time in finding a ‘perfect placement’ for a unicorn centered on a denaro.. yes, u should never trust the SA’s.. just tell them u want to see all the denaros.. i think i’ll be stopping by again next week to just look again!
i can never get enough.. but i think i’m done with Spiaggia for myself.. the next i’m interested in is Trasporto..
June 27th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
eyez658 - what? you won’t be there next month for famiglia??? who am i going to wait with????
June 27th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
lol.. i’ll be there for the famiglia.. i think i gotta do a CP again. so u’ll see me..
even tho i thought i didn’t care for the print, everytime i’m looking at it i seem to like it more and more.. so who knows?! lol…. 
i might end up buying one for myself.. haha, u know how that goes!!
June 27th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
does any one know whne is the trasporto re-release date? will it come in the luna or cucciolo style?
June 27th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
keroppi - trasporto is sometime in august. i’m pretty sure all styles are supposed to be available, but you never know for sure. they brought in all styles for spiaggia except the nuvola.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Ku’uipo, hi, i’m still waiting for your email ….
she did pick out my perfect ciaociao Spiaggia …. i hate to call it mine coz it’s not physically in my hands yet ……….but I am super excited !!!
It’s really very nice of you to do this for me … thank you again and again !
June 27th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Ku’uuipo - thanks for the august heads-up.
i was reading through the blog and got a little confused. can anyone provide a summary of what has been re-released this year and what prints will be coming and when? or is this information not publicly available in advance?
thanks.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
marhem - i emailed earlier. i just resent it. and you are very welcome. i am just glad that i was able to get it for you. (& thanks to the ala moana staff)
keroppi - so earlier this year was inferno, paradiso, l’amore (last month), spiaggia (last week), famiglia (next month), and finally trasporto (august). then no more… we have to wait for the new bags.
June 28th, 2008 at 12:12 am
re-releases so far, in this order:
Foresta
Citta Rosa (Hawaii airport/Waikiki DFS only)
Paradiso
Inferno
L’Amore
Spiaggia
And besides the nuvola, the Spiaggia print did not come out in caramella.
I also did not see any trenino this time around.
For this re-release I only got my daughter a Mamma Mia.
Out of 85 toki, its her first Mamma Mia.
June 28th, 2008 at 12:21 am
There is still the following available at Waikiki LSS since the last time I went (earlier this week)….
Paradiso - Bella, Bambino, Denaro, Caramella and Canguro
Inferno - Bambino, Ciao
Quite a few styles still available in L’amore but no MM, BV, Cucciolo, Dolce
and of course Spiaggia….I noticed that they didn’t have any Caramella’s though.
June 28th, 2008 at 1:38 am
boohoo.
i was hoping to pick up a Paradiso Cucciolo. the prices on ebay are too much!! i guess i’ll try to catch it with the transporto re-release.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:22 am
IhateTDfakes and Ku`uipo:
Thank you so much for the info. I am going to call the stores this morning (once they are open) to see what I can find. Wish me luck
June 28th, 2008 at 11:49 am
does the duty free shop in waikiki carry the re-release?
June 29th, 2008 at 5:36 am
IhateTDfakes - which waikiki location did you see the inferno ciao at? did you notice if spiaggia came in that style? i didn’t notice any at ala moana. thx in advance
June 29th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Mei Lee - I went to the one in Waikiki Business Plaza. Yep they also have Spiaggia Ciaos.
The LSS at Royal only has Spiaggia and very little L’amore.
ambersdad - I don’t think that DFS follows the re-release schedule because actually they had some paradiso and inferno WAY before like in December of last year. I think they get their own stock allocated exclusively for DFS (i.e. the Citta Rosa).
June 30th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
sorry to post here, but i’m trying to find marhem.
marhem - i will hold the l’amore mamma mia & spiaggia ciaociao for you until tuesday (7/1/08). please let me know if you still want them.
June 30th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Ku uipo,
if marhem does not get your mamma mia, can i possibly buy it from you? i am looking for this for the longgesttt time. pls pls!!
June 30th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
has anybody seen a L’amore Ciao anywhere here in hawaii?? also, what are ciao’s currently retailing for here…
and is it true that they don’t sell zuccas at retail stores in hawaii?
thanks you guys!!
July 1st, 2008 at 12:01 am
LeSunny - you might want to call around for the Ciao…being that the L’amore release was well over a month ago…the availability changes daily.
Zuccas - no that’s not true - I’m pretty sure there are still zuccas available in Spiaggia and maybe L’amore. If you scroll up there is the store info of all the LSS in Hawaii.
July 1st, 2008 at 3:14 am
LeSunny - there was a zucca on dispaly at lss ala moana today…
i don’t know about the l’amore ciaos. the lss staff told my daughter today that she could sell her l’amore ciao for big bucks on ebay. she is debating on selling it now. (my 10 year old is an entrepruener.)
July 1st, 2008 at 10:10 am
i bought spiaggia zucca at ala moana. they have very few though
July 1st, 2008 at 12:21 pm
makalea - how can i contact you?
July 1st, 2008 at 3:10 pm
hi Ku’uipo!
Please email me: hazelnutfrappe@yahoo.com
THANKS!!!!!
July 1st, 2008 at 3:45 pm
makalea - i just emailed you
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:45 pm
does anyone know if ala moana LSS or the others bring in nuvola’s when the do the re-releases? Do you know how much they go for? Am I better off just getting one from ebay? does anyone have one so they can tell me how they like it? thanks in advance!
July 3rd, 2008 at 11:10 pm
Jay are you asking about Spiaggia specifically because from what I know Nuvola in Spiaggia (as well as Caramella) was not one of the styles that were re-released.
For future re-releases you may want to call the stores direct and ask them if they are expecting any.
July 4th, 2008 at 12:34 am
I will call them! Thanks!
July 4th, 2008 at 12:35 am
Hi Jay - during the lamore release LSS had the nuvolas. i think the prices were equivalent to the scuola… or roughly around $220 (with tax). it’s a cute style though ^^
it sucks that the spiaggia didn’t come in the caramella -__-
July 4th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Mei Lee–ooh, that is so good to know! They must go fast! I have never seen them sold at LSS then again, I have never gone the first day. Whoa, $220, they are pretty steep, huh? Thanks again for the tip!
July 4th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
also, does anyone ANYONE anyONe have a pic of them or someone else wearing the nuvola?? Just wondering if I can pull this look off!
July 6th, 2008 at 8:11 am
i love this blog it is awesome~:) -simone
July 6th, 2008 at 8:14 am
i think there are fake tokidoki bags in chinatown (ny) :(:(:(:(:(:( but i am japanese and live in japan and i buy my bags from the us because in japan it is so expensive
July 6th, 2008 at 8:16 am
oh and that simone above me is my cousin who lives in italy because he likes all the food and surounds and he also loves japan well of course he is japanese
July 6th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
jay - i have a picture of my 4 year old wearing the nuvola. it’s cute but i don’t know if it will give you the reference for it. let me know if you want to see it anyways.
July 6th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Ku’uipo–yes, can I see the pic! I am dying to see anyone wearing it!
Do you also use the nuvola or is it just how for your 4 year old? How cute 
Would you say it’s pretty comparable to a small backpack? That is what I carry now but would love to have a TD one instead –any excuse for one 
Can you email it to me at pegboy@hawaii.rr.com
Thank you!!!
July 6th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
jay - I sent it to you!
July 6th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
got it thank you!!!
That helps me make my decision….hmmm… I think! 
July 8th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
I guess my comment was deleted? Please don’t delete this, I am trying very hard to let kuuipo know the package was received but their e-mail isn’t working. Thank you

July 8th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Thank you, I appreciate that.
And just to let anyone know that may be trying to get ahold of kuuipo, the e-mail address they were using isn’t working any more.
July 19th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
wow, I’m so jealous. You guys are so lucky to have re-prints available to you. I wish they had that here in the mainland.
I’m sad, I only found out about this site a day or two ago. I would have definately snag a spiaggia ciao ciao if I could, or a foresta ciao ciao or luna.
I’m not familiar with re-releases, how are they differently priced? Is it more expensive?
July 19th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
minuet - Re-releases are in Hawaii and Guam only. Our prices are different than in the mainland because we are overseas therefore we are considered international so shipping fees are incorporated into the final price of each item.
For accessories it is normally about $20 above Mainland retail and for bags it can run from $30-40 above mainland retail.
You actually aren’t too late as alot of the Hawaii stores still have Ciao Ciao’s in stock…if you read above there is a listing of the numbers for the Hawaii stores. They do ship to the mainland however you would need to make your purchase via money order.
Good luck!
July 20th, 2008 at 12:48 am
Thank you so much for the info IhateTDfakes =)
Hahaha, I might try calling the stores, but I’m afraid the long distance call would cost more than the bag. It’s definately worth a try.
Thank you again ^^
