Reader Heather just let me know that she received a call telling her that the tokidoki L’Amore print re-release is today! It should be starting about 4-5 hours after the time of this posting. As with the other tokidoki bag print re-releases, the L’Amore print re-release is happening at LeSportsac stores in Hawaii and Guam only.
ALSO: According to the Waikiki LeSportsac manager via Krisha, the May re-release of Pirata has been canceled.
I just received confirmation from a Hawaii LeSportsac employee that after the re-release of the L’Amore print in April, Pirata will be re-released in May and Spiaggia will be re-released in June - for a total of SIX print re-releases! (Or eight, if you count the 2007 Euro-exclusive original tokidoki print re-release and the DFS Citta Rosa re-release.) These print re-releases will continue to happen in Hawaii and Guam only.

Yaaaaay! I love it even more than I thought I would. I got a Buon Viaggio because I preferred the way the print looks against the black mesh on the side (it gives it some darker contrast - I know some people hate the black mesh but with this print, I love it!). There are still NO Tokidoki bags to be found in NYC or NJ stores… at least not that my friend and I could find… so I resorted to ebay. Miraculously, I won this bag for slightly under retail - and it has my ideal pattern placement! I agree with Mickey’s comment on an earlier post that the “doki” in “Tokidoki for LeSportsac” looks like a printing error, but fortunately I got pattern placement where it is barely noticeable on the front of the bag. Ok, on to the pictures!!
I heard that L’Amore print bags had started showing up at Macy’s, so I checked Macy’s Herald Square in NYC today for them, but they aren’t there yet. They still had a ton of Pirata and Adios star bags in stock though at full price. Has anyone found L’Amore bags in your city yet?
JapanLA just got the new LeSportsac L’Amore print in - they only got a small number of them though, so they can’t do mailorders. If you live in Los Angeles, go get one in person this weekend (and send me pics)! Jamie reports that the bag is hot pink inside, and the straps are tan, and the buckles are gold.
Just another 2 or 3 weeks until the L’Amore print is out in stores - I can’t wait! Thanks to Bubblesung for finding some more L’Amore bag photos that show the print nicely!
Pulsestl is taking pre-orders for the L’Amore print bags - call them at 636.519.4022 to place your pre-order. I’m still weighing the risk of not getting the print placement that I want vs. not finding the bag style that I want in stores, since LeSportsac stores won’t be carrying L’Amore.
The schedule for when some of the upcoming 2007 Tokidoki bag prints will start shipping to stores has been released:
April 10th - L’Amore, Bianco, Notte
May 10th - Spiaggia, Bianco, Notte, Fumo
July 10th - Famiglia, Bianco, Notte, Fumo
The beautiful photo below was taken by reader Mickey Clarke of Los Angeles, CA - she was at a tokidoki signing yesterday at Nordstrom’s in Woodland Hills, California. Simone’s girlfriend was already sporting a new L’Amore bag, so Mickey was nice enough to take a photo of it and send it in for us to all drool over. 
I can’t wait until this print is out in stores! Here is her photo:
