2. The Famiglia re-release happened on July 31st in Hawaii and Guam, and did not include the Nuvola, Caramella or Corriere styles. Notte was re-released on August 1st, and did not include the Nuvola or Corriere styles. Thanks to Ku’uipo, Taylor, Trixie and Donna for letting me know. The Trasporto re-release will be next, and there are rumors that a Vacanze re-release may follow.

3. Italian website Luisaviaroma has some Ecomondo and Concerto Punk tokidoki bags available for pre-order already! Their pictures give us some sneak peeks at what each print looks like on the Amica, Carezza, Graziosa, and Sorriso styles. Thanks to Fede for the tip!

4. Available now in the tokidoki online shop: all of the new styles of 2008 tokidoki bags in the Carnival and Mezzanotte prints, PLUS a new Notte-like print called Carbone.

Plushies!
Trendy Stars just let me know that they added the tokidoki for Hello Kitty plush toys to their shop (and they ship internationally for those of you not in the USA!).

The Hawaii tokidoki Bag Print Re-Release Plot Thickens
Ku`uipo let me know that the SAs at the LeSportsac store in Ala Moana re-confirmed that Spiaggia re-release is later this month. They also said that Famiglia will be re-released in July in limited bag styles, and Trasporto will be re-released in August. (Take this info with a grain of salt, since there are so many conflicting rumors about the re-releases out there right now!) The Ala Moana SAs also said that they will NOT be carrying the new line of 2008 tokidoki bags.

More new tokidoki and tokidoki for Hello Kitty clothing filtered out to the shops while I was away – I found some darker colored options of existing t-shirt designs on Trendy Stars, along with the new Donutella and TKDK designs:

The Giant Peach has them too, along with four new items from the summer nautical collection:

And two new skate decks:

More new t-shirt color variations I found modeled on JapanLA:

tokidoki Bag Print Re-Release Updates

We now have a contact from the RHSC LeSportsac in Hawaii to keep us updated about what is going on with the upcoming print re-releases! I am therefore encouraging everyone to keep checking the tokidoki print re-releases category of this blog for the latest news rather than calling the poor folks at the Hawaii LeSportsac stores repeatedly.

The latest update: the re-release of Spiaggia in June is CONFIRMED. The final two re-releases are still unconfirmed, which accounts for the conflicting info floating around. The only confirmed info about them right now is that the final re-releases will take place in September and November and will be based on which prints sold the best in Hawaii.

ALSO: According to the Waikiki LeSportsac manager via Krisha, the May re-release of Pirata has been canceled.

Jessi also told me that the Waikiki LeSportsac in Hawaii still has a lot of Paradiso bags left, and that a sales guy there told her that he was expecting future shipments of tokidoki for LeSportsac bags in Inferno, Pirata, Famiglia, Tutti and Spiaggia. She thinks he might have also mentioned L’Amore. Has anyone heard anything else like this? The store is located at 2234 Kalakaua Ave. in Honolulu, HI and the store number is (808) 971-2905.

UPDATE: According to ihatetDfakes, the Inferno re-release is today!
