Lots of Updates

Friday, March 21st, 2008

I have a bunch of backed-up small updates that I am going to cram into this post:

  • The Giant Peach received their shipment of Women’s Spring II tokidoki clothing this week, including some new items that we haven’t seen anywhere else yet (on pages 2 & 3) – check it out & don’t forget to take advantage of the exclusive 20% off sale for Tokidoki Blog readers.
  • Lindsey from the Southhampton LeSportsac outlet posted a list of slight imperfections tokidoki bags that are on clearance there. The outlet contact info is in that linked post if you scroll up.
  • So that comments like the one I just linked to above don’t get overlooked in the future, I changed the setup of the sidebar at the right of this blog to include a Recent Comments list. Is this helpful? Is 7 recent comments a good number or too many/not enough?
  • I have received the unfortunate news that the European clothing imports that were supposed to have been available in the USA this fall have been canceled.
  • Photos of the tokidoki for Onitsuka Tiger sneakers have been released – thanks to Bridget for pointing this out! I think they’re cute – which apparently puts me in the “only tokidoki fans and children” category. :P
  • Happy Six in Los Angeles received a shipment of Citta and Citta Rosa (!!) tokidoki bags this week. They are going fast. Thanks to Tara d. for the tip.

New 2008 European tokidoki Clothing from Fornari

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Vicky from Chicki sent me some photos of the newest 2008 European tokidoki clothing available through Fornari for us to drool over.  She may be ordering the hoodies (they are my favorites!) but wants to get the bags in stock first.

2008 European tokidoki Bags

Friday, March 14th, 2008

As some of you may have noticed in the comments a couple posts below, Vicky from Chicki was nice enough to stop by and give us some info about the new line of tokidoki bags from Italy.

Here is a recap of what she shared:

“I have just had my first glimpse of the new tokidoki bag range from Italy. There are 3 prints but I would say the print which is on your shopper is by far the best. I think they are calling it the 80’s print. There is also an Adios print in black and white and a camouflage print. Altogether there is 8 new bags and 1 wallet. There is also a cute new grey and white shopper which will retail for about £15.

They will range from £40 – £100 so it’s about the same as the LeSportsac prices. They have just released a new shopper thats very good value. It will retail for about £15 and is just great for the more environmentally friendly shopper. It will fold up nicely and fit in your hand bag. ”

And here are some pictures:

Vicky also let me know that the bag with the girl on the front is a Spanish bag, which is very hard to find.

European tokidoki Gear is Coming to the USA this Fall!

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Remember some of the European tokidoki clothing that we have seen before on eBay and European websites that we either can’t read, can’t order from, or can’t afford the shipping costs from? As it turns out, many of these clothing items are coming to the USA this fall!  Like for instance…

I am excited – although my wallet continues to live in fear. :P I will post more details as they become available.

Also, speaking of items that are coming soon, the tokidoki Mimobots (which are designer flash drives) are due to be released in mid April 2008. They will hold 1GB of data and retail for $44.95. Thanks to Joyce for this info.

More Cool European tokidoki Clothing and Bags

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

There are some cool European-only tokidoki items up on eBay again now. There is this all-over print t-shirt (love it! I hope it gets released in the USA!):

This cute all-over print top – I really like the style:

And this silver sushi race bag, which is similar to the tokidoki bag from 2004 that Melanie owns:

More European tokidoki Bags + Valentine’s Day Qees

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Reader Tara d. recently let me know that she found some additional websites that sell European exclusive tokidoki bags, including the shiny metallic heart & crossbones bag that some of us were wondering about the authenticity of awhile back. Odd World in the UK sold blue and pink versions of the metallic tokidoki bag (which confirms its authenticity – although it is now sold out). Tara has one of the pink metallic bags listed on eBay. MilkSugar out of Germany has a larger selection of European tokidoki bags (many of which are on sale right now). I have also been getting a lot of e-mails about Chicki in the UK recently, so I will give them another mention since they have only been previously posted about in the comments.

Also, for those of you who enjoy collecting unique qees to add to your tokidoki bags (like me!), ambersdad let me know that Panik’s Toy Box just added a limited edition Valentine’s Day Sweetheart Bear qee twin pack that are really cute & just in time for V-day. I’m thinking about getting them for a L’Amore bag.

tokidoki x Hello Kitty Items Hit eBay

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

As many of you have already noticed, the first wave of tokidoki for Hello Kitty items have already started popping up on eBay. One of the sellers is on my Real tokidoki Sellers list, and the other is a Tokidoki Blog reader in Japan, so I am sure that they are the real thing. This should also mean that the collaboration will be released in the USA very soon – perhaps even sooner than we have been expecting.

Also, the Italian eBay seller who keeps listing European exclusive tokidoki clothing has a red tokidoki cammo hoodie for men and an open-backed LP record shirt for women listed. Italy gets some really cool designs!

Another European (Exclusive?) tokidoki Hoodie

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

This momo all-over print tokidoki hoodie just got listed on eBay by that Italian seller who also has the LP Record hoodies:

I think it’s really cute! I wonder if it is a preview for what is to come in the States, or if it will remain a European exclusive. I love the tokidoki all-over print hoodie designs – I hope there are many more to come.

Super-Rare tokidoki Bags from 2004

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Reader Melanie sent in some photos of some rare European tokidoki bags that she has in her collection. Melanie says that she has been a fan of tokidoki designs since 2002(!) when she discovered a tokidoki shirt on threadless.com. Then she was in Amsterdam the winter of 2004 and spotted a silver tokidoki Sushi bag and had to have it. Check it out:

Isn’t it adorable?! I want one!

While in Amsterdam, Melanie also saw a pink tokidoki bag but didn’t get it, which she ended up regretting later. So once she was back in the USA, she searched for the pink bag online and found it on a German website listed as “Pink Gothic Lolita Bag.” In the summer of 2005, she finally found the pink tokidoki bags on eBay. Here is her whole family of rare bags:

Photo of a Reader’s European tokidoki Tote (Plus a Rare Signed T-Shirt)

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Reader Tara from Hawaii just sent me a photo of her European tokidoki tote bag – which she had signed by Simone at the Ala Moana Center Singing Party in Hawaii in November. The bag is definitely real, and Simone even commented to her on it being a rare item.

Tara also sent in a photo of a rare Spring 2005 tokidoki t-shirt that she had signed by Simone. I love the extra sushi character that he added!

Still More European tokidoki Gear Uncovered

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Readers Lashonne and Jess discovered another Italian store that sells tokidoki items that are not available in the USA – and this shop does allow you to order online. Sadly though, the prices are pretty killer when you factor in the exchange rate. They sell another style of tokidoki underwear, the tokidoki flip-flops that I blogged about last spring, and more clothing items (including the all-over print hoodie from the post below!). Here are a few highlights:

tokidoki hoodie from Italy

tokidoki sweatshirt from Italy

tokidoki ski jacket from Italy

Lashonne also found this bag on an Italian site called Yoox:

I am wondering if it is the same style of tote bag that readers spotted Simone’s girlfriend carrying at the Simone signing party at Mobius last month.

More Italian tokidoki Goodies Discovered

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

Reader Jess somehow unearthed this slideshow by andrea.simpson, which features a bunch more tokidoki items that I am guessing are also exclusive to Italy (or Europe?) since the title is written in Italian. Check some of this stuff out – there are tokidoki JEANS! Plus a jacket and hoodie that I absolutely adore and wish I could get my hands on:

tokidoki jeans

tokidoki jacket

tokidoki hoodie

I hope that some of these items eventually find their way to the USA!
*drool*
