Tokidoki Blog

I posted the last update too fast, because apparently Trendy Stars is still at it adding even new tokidoki stuff today. Reader cupcakes just pointed out that they also now has a restock of both the tokidoki x Fornarina sneakers in every single colorway and the pink version of the tokidoki x Fornarina Deva pumps available. I think that is the first time I have ever seen the royal blue Fornarina sneakers for sale anywhere.

While checking the shoes out, I also found a new Trendy Stars coupon code (I added it to their coupon code page too for easy reference):

Promotion: 10% off all tokidoki hoodies and sweaters, and 10% off all newly released tokidoki watches
Coupon code: WTKHD1131
Expires: November 30, 2007

Reader Elizabeth was nice enough to share that she was in Bloomingdale’s in NY today and bought a pair of the pink and grey tokidoki x fornarina sneakers for $66. Bloomingdale’s is having a 4th of July sale, so they were 40% off. If you are still looking for these shoes, that is an awesome price, go get them!

Bloomingdale’s on 59th Street in New York City has the Tokidoki x Fornarina sneakers on sale for 30% off. They have the black & white and the pink & grey (”grey rosy” below) styles available.

Reader Maria from Italy just bought a pair of the black Deva pumps that she bought - cost in Italy is 100€, and they are sold at Fornarina stores and WEB in Pisa, Italy. They come with an anklet that is color-coordinated with the shoes, and a box that is covered in Tokidoki illustrations! Here is a pic of Maria’s shoes, anklet & box:

And here is a pic of her Deva pumps along with a really cool pair of Tokidoki flip-flops that she also owns:

I’m not really sure how helpful this is - but Fornarina sent me this, so I am passing it on… has anyone seen the heels in stores, or just the sneakers?

Here is a great closeup pic of the turquoise & white Tokidoki x Fornarina sneakers - courtesy of reader Elisabetta, who sent the pic in so that we could all get a better look at them!

This just in from Couture Girl - reprinted with their OK:

“We are expecting the Tokidoki Line of Fornarina sneakers this week. I believe we are receiving the Black/White with the characters on the sides and also this version in the Turquoise/White. These shoes retail for $110. If you live in New York, I’m sorry but that location is closed from 3/01-4/20 for renovations, the NJ location will open at the end of April, and London is currently open. We have had a lot of requests about this line, and have already been placing orders for these shoes. If you would like, we can place an order for you online and have it shipped to you for convenience. Please include your valid email address, items your interested in, color and sizing and we can send you an invoice. ”

The Fornarina store at 8000 Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, CA has the Tokidoki x Fornarina shoes in stock now, and will start selling them in the store next week for around $100 per pair.

Commenter Bonnie just posted this Fonarina shoes update in this post:

“Just got a reply from Fornarnia…this was their response…

Dear Bonnie,
thanks a lot for your interest in our brand!
As far as stores selling Tokidoki, we confirm you that for the season SS 07, there is no store distributing them in Usa.
Our office in Usa let us know that you’ll be our client for the season FW 0708.
Welcome in the Fornarina world!

Best regards,

Fornarina Customer Service”

My translation of Fornarina’s message: no stores in the USA are going to carry the spring/summer line of shoes. They will, however, be available in the USA for the Fall/Winter season of shoes coming out later this year.

Do any Tokidoki fans in Italy want to help us out?

Since Zappos carries Fornarina shoes, I tried contacting customer service to see if they would be getting the Tokidoki Ten and Deva shoes in, and received this cryptic reply:

“Thank you for shopping at Zappos.com. I am very sorry, but we are not currently carrying those particular brands. Please check back on our site as we are continually updating and adding new selections. I also do not have a specific date of when they will be available on our website if they ever do become available. We currently do carry the Tokidoki line of watches.”

Also, check out these fun pictures from JapanLA’s Tokidoki Pirate Party.  I wish I lived close enough to go, it looks like it was a great time!  I think I would have had a hard time not buying everything in the store.

Fornarina has released their Spring Summer 2007 Collection, including two lines of Tokidoki for Fornarina shoes - the Ten line of sneakers, and the Deva line of pumps.

Ten is an 80s retro-style tennis sneaker made of a combination of leather and patent leather. Tokidoki characters form a camouflage effect on the Ten sneaker, which also have reflective details.

The Deva line of high-heeled shoes feature printed nappa leather soles with Tokidoki graphics, and patent leather uppers that match the heel color. Each Deva pump is buckled with a metal Tokidoki heart and crossbones logo. Special gifts of Tokidoki anklets will also be available with purchases of the Deva shoes.
