Tokidoki Blog

Thank you to Leah for pointing out that tokidoki just posted pictures from the Pool Trade show to their blog - including sneak peeks at some new t-shirt designs (I see popcorn guy!!), hats, toys (including the Sandy and Mozzarella plush dolls once again, and if you bump your screen resolution up to 800×600 and look closely you’ll also see a black Skeletrino and a purple Skeletrina), sneaker-boots, jewelry, and BAGS. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see at least three different prints (Carnival and Concerto Punk, I believe, plus the new solid black) and a few different bag styles. One photo also shows the new Adios keychain design.

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:

Karmaloop just added their Spring 2008 tokidoki clothing, including the raincoat and all-over print hoodie in all sizes.  As usual, all of their gear is 20% off with rep code SR426 at checkout.  I am still debating on getting the stripey dress - it looks really cute on their model.

Many thanks to Saki for sending me a link to an interview with Simone at JoshSpear.com that includes all sorts of exciting info, including confirmation that there definitely will be a new line of bags branded only as tokidoki - “but made by same people behind LeSportsac; same team, same factories.”

Me: w00t!
Wallet: *FEAR*

Other exciting news, all lifted from the interview: the next cactus friends toy released will be the cactus punk character!  That will be a must have for me.  Also coming soon are “tokidoki denim in Europe; the two cats of adios and ciao ciao called Skeletrino and Skeletrina; a new line of New Era hats; mimobots; plushes; new lines of watches, jewelry, and other cool stuff.”

ANNNDD - there are plans to open a tokidoki store in the USA in 2009.  Simone is “looking for a location.”

CAN’T WAIT!!!

Cory just pointed out that Tobi added some new Spring 2008 tokidoki clothing items, including the limited edition raincoat. They will be adding more spring items soon too. In case anyone missed it, there is an exclusive sale for Tokidoki Blog readers at Tobi for the entire month of February.

Also, for those of you have been looking for the first-ever all-over print tokidoki hoodie, I thought I would also point out that I found a Power Seller selling one in size Large on eBay. It’s paired with a cute momo tank from a few seasons back too.

One more random sale update: Karmaloop has a bunch of tokidoki clothing marked down 10% - 35% off, which you can take an extra 20% off at checkout with rep code SR426.

That was quick - the Mummy tee for women is out already! As Jennifer pointed out in the comments in my last post, it is up now on Trendy Stars (3rd page) in grey and pink. (And, Krisha also found the women’s grey mummy tee on eBay!) So now I am debating if I should get the women’s grey version, or the men’s red… or both.

Readers Marisa and Tracy also let me know that they have found tokidoki bags and clothes on super-sale at Macy’s in CA (Stoneridge Mall, Pleasanton) and NY (Smith Haven Mall, Lake Grove). Some markdowns are as much as 60% off! Reader Valeria also let me know that Metropark stores nationwide have select styles of Vacanze bags on sale for 40% off (in store only, not online).

And finally - since I have gotten a bunch of tokidoki tattoo photos this week & more people are interested in sending their photos in, I just added a new page to this blog called tokidoki tattoos & artwork.

I love this little mummy character - I am so excited that he has made it onto a t-shirt!

*WANT*

Trendy Stars just added the two tees above, plus a bunch more Spring 2008 t-shirts for men.  I also hear that the mummy t-shirts will be coming out in a women’s version soon - can’t wait!

It’s time for another sale, just for us! Everyone reading this post gets access to an exclusive sale for Tokidoki Blog readers at Tobi! (Guys, be sure to click the “Men” link at the upper left corner of the page to see their tokidoki gear for men.)

This sale lasts for the entire month of February. All of Tobi’s full-priced tokidoki items are 10% off now through February 29th when you use coupon code TDBLOG10 at checkout. This code may not be reposted elsewhere.

UPDATE: Tobi also just put all of their Vacanze print bags on sale for 30% off!

Tobi doesn’t have their Spring ‘08 tokidoki items up yet, but they let me know that they will be posting them as soon as possible (definitely during this exclusive sale period). They will also be getting the limited edition tokidoki raincoats in stock, for those of you who are still looking for them.

Trendy Stars just posted their selection of Spring II 2008 clothing for men, including a new t-shirt design that we haven’t seen anywhere else yet.

They also have the record hoodie in all sizes, so hurry and get it while you can!

Plus, those of us girls who liked the first batch of Spring 2008 t-shirt designs for guys are in luck - Trendy Stars also added women’s versions of each of those designs, some in multiple color choices, plus one new record t-shirt design. Here are a few highlights:

Reader Krisha just got the men’s Spring II record hoodie in a size Small, and was nice enough to take photos of how it looks on her to share with us. Personally I love the fit, and now I totally want one too!

CUUUUUUUTE!

While I am on the topic, I will add that The Giant Peach just added this record hoodie (along with 3 other new hoodies from the men’s Spring II collection). The exclusive sale at The Giant Peach for Tokidoki Blog readers ends on Thursday - so if you have been thinking about taking advantage of it, don’t forget!

One last thing - if at any time anyone else has any photos of themselves wearing items from the current season of tokidoki clothing that they would like to share with everyone so that we can see what the fit looks like on a real person, please feel free to e-mail them to me (along with what size you are wearing).

JapanLA just let me know that they got their shipment of Spring II tokidoki 2008 clothing for men in - they added 4 new hoodies and 5 new t-shirts to their online shop. The new hoodies include an all-over LP record print that is similar to, but not exactly the same as, the one that Simone has been wearing recently:

[ *curses for missing the Italian version on eBay* ]

And here are a few highlights of the other items - I think that the designs and colors are quite different from what we would usually expect from tokidoki.

I sense some possible Bape & Ice Cream influence - what do you all think?

The tokidoki.it website just posted a new collaboration page for tokidoki for Ride Snowboards. The collaboration photos show an assortment of snowboard designs, matching jackets & pants for men and women, gloves, boots, and bindings. There is no info posted yet about when this collaboration will be out. For more information and leads on where to buy, I suggest staying tuned to the Ride Snowboards website.

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.

I just spotted the tokidoki LP record all-over print hoodie that Simone has been seen wearing lately on eBay! The seller is located in Italy and the print, tags and details all look legit, so I am sure it is real… ah, the temptation!

Trendy Stars just posted their shipment of tokidoki spring 2008 t-shirts. There are a few men’s versions of designs that have been released for women in the batch, one of which features Adios & Ciao Ciao. There are also some designs that are brand new (and extremely cute!), like these:

I love the little skull pizza that is on the back of the second shirt - I added an image of it as an inset.
