New 2009 tokidoki Bag Print: Leo

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Is everyone ready for the new 2009 line of tokidoki bag prints to begin? The first one, Leo, is here already! I received word from Pulse (plus many excited readers) that they have 6 styles of the bags available now.

For a limited time only, the tokidoki Leo print will be 15% off with free shipping at Pulse. Casey is ready to help with print placement. Make sure your online account is up to date and then e-mail toki@pulsestl.com or call 636-519-4022 to place your order. Use coupon code LEO15 to place an order online.

The Leo print is also in at A.Okay Official in Chicago (thanks Tofufar for the tip!) – the photos of the full line of Leo print bags, including the NEW bag styles, were snagged from their blog. As you will see, some of the 2008 bag styles are returning, some have been retired, and there are 5 new styles: Imagini, Magia, Marina, Melodia, and Ragazza.

Lawnship Sneakers Available for Pre-Order

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

The tokidoki for Onitsuka Tiger 2009 line of Lawnship sneakers are available for pre-order now in the tokidoki online store in 4 colorways. There are two styles that come in women’s sizes 5.5 – 11 and two “unisex” styles that come in men’s sizes 4-13. Personally I don’t see why all 4 styles can’t all be unisex if your feet fit into them and you like them. The retail price is $125 per pair.

tokidoki for MIMOBOT Flash Drives Take on Valentine’s Flavor

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

tokidoki Meletta MIMOBOT BOSTON, MA – 1/21/2009 – Simone Legno, creator of the iconic fashion brand tokidoki, has created a special limited-edition Valentine’s day collaboration with Mimoco arriving today. The most popular character from the tokidoki for MIMOBOT® series of designer USB flash drives, Meletta, is now available in a romantic-yet-hardcore pink and black colorway for fashion-tech-lovers everywhere.

The first tokidoki for MIMOBOT collection debuted in April 2008, and has since represented a crossover in the worlds of pop fashion and consumer electronics. The series consists of three characters, including a pirate, a demonic chef, and Meletta, the plucky young lass with a monkey on her head. Representing Mimoco’s first venture into the fashion world, the series has gained a loyal following from both the tokidoki and MIMOBOT camps alike.

Launching alongside the Meletta colorway is Mimoco’s new Spacesuit protoHoodie™ Keychain Accessory, a re-imagining of the Original protoHoodie™, now with a clear vinyl shield protecting the entire MIMOBOT from harsh Earth elements while providing a clever and secure method for transporting MIMOBOT flash drives on keychains, lanyards, backpacks , etc.

To purchase , visit the MIMOBOT online store or call 1.888.MIMO.BOT.
