The First tokidoki Vacanze Print Bag Has Arrived on eBay

Friday, October 5th, 2007

I just found a tokidoki Vacanze Mamma Mia bag on eBay, and you know what that means - it won’t be much longer before the Vacanze print starts showing up in stores.  I can’t wait!

Catching Up Again

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

I’m back again for a few days and catching up on tokidoki news, comments, and e-mails (check my Infrequent Posting Alert if you haven’t seen it yet). Here is a run-down of updates:

1. The tokidoki for LeSportsac Web site has finally been updated, and they have both Tutti and Trasporto bags for sale online now! It appears that the official spelling of the Trasporto print does not include an “N” after all. The inventory that they have shows that the Bella, Braccialetto, Bocce and Corriere styles are no longer available. Caramella and Mamma Mia style bags will only be available in Hawaii and Guam for the last 3 prints. There is also one new bag style - the Avventura. I tried the Avventura on at Macy’s, and it is HUGE. Readers have also spotted Trasporto bags on eBay and at A. Okay Official in Chicago, and JapanLA reported that they have their shipment of Trasporto bags in now too.

2. The Southampton LeSportsac outlet is having a Labor Day Sale: 40% off all tokidoki bags for ONE day only, which is TODAY (Monday, September 3rd)!

3. The upcoming tokidoki for Onitsuka Tiger colaboration that I first posted about in this SDCC post and this SDCC post has been confirmed on both the tokidoki and Onitsuka Tiger Web sites, and we can expect two collections of sneaker designs per year for the next two years, beginning in May 2008.

4. Reader Leigh reported that a Macy’s store near Atlantic City, NJ has Pirata and Bianco print tokidoki bags on sale for 50% off in an unmarked sale, so check your local Macy’s to see if they are offering the same deal.

5. The Fall 2007 line of tokidoki clothing is out at all of the stores now. Karmaloop has 5 new pieces of tokidoki clothing up now, and they are 20% off if you use Karmaloop coupon code SR426 in the Rep Code field at checkout. I’m kicking myself for not waiting to get the lattes and moofia all-over print tee from them!

6. Photos of a Vacanze Avventura and a Vacanze Zucca have been found on Giant Peach News.

Vacanze Print Preview Released on LeSportsac Japan Web Site

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

I know I’m a little late with this, but since I’m back online again (hi everyone! *waves*), here it is - the latest small-and-kind-of-blurry print preview from the LeSportsac Japan Web site is up, the much-anticipated Vacanze print:

And since that’s up now, I guess it’s also safe to post this full print swatch as well:

[ edit on 8/22/07: or not. :P Swatch removed per tokidoki’s request. ]

And now I’m off to start trying to catch up on responding to comments and e-mails from the past week. :)

Full Picture of the tokidoki Tutti Print

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

For those of you who haven’t seen a full swatch of the Tutti print, here it is! Thanks to Brie for sending this in - and reminding me that I hadn’t posted it yet!

Also, a note about the Vacanze print since readers keep e-mailing me the swatch of it, sometimes as often as twice a day - I do have this swatch already, but am intentionally not posting it until the print is officially released by LeSportsac, per the tokidoki company’s request. Thanks for understanding. ♥

New and Discontinued Tokidoki for LeSportsac Bag Styles

Friday, June 8th, 2007

It looks like we are going to have a smaller selection of bags styles than usual for the last two Tokidoki for Lesportsac bag prints, Trasporto and Vacanze. The Mamma Mia, Trenino, Bella, and Braccialetto styles will all be discontinued when these prints come out. The good news is though that there will be at least one new bag style called Avventura, which will be a larger Buon Viaggio styled bag.

Descriptions of the Tokidoki Transporto and Vacanze Prints

Monday, June 4th, 2007

Transporto - this print is on a light grey background with many Tokidoki characters that are all showcasing a different form of transportation. Each character is spaced apart from the others and not interacting with anyone else (so the layout is more like the original Tokidoki Print than like one of the “scene” prints like Foresta). Some featured characters are Adios & Ciao Ciao on roller skates, Sandy riding a pink elephant, the blue Latte riding a skateboard, and a bus full of Tokidoki characters (including some Moofia and a devil from the Inferno print). There are all many new characters that haven’t appeared on other prints yet.

Vacanze - this print is a very busy scene packed tight with many characters in a winter holiday scene. The background is white and light blue snow with a dark blue sky. There are a bunch of smiling pine trees with small floating decoration-like characters in front of them (nana & adios stars, rainbows, chili pepper, bullet, a couple Christmas tree bulbs, etc), characters on a ski lift, a gingerbread house, snowflakes, cute animals and characters in hats and scarves, a caroling Moofia character, toys, penguins, and more. There is also a small word bubble that says Happy Holidays on this print. I like this print more of the two - it is super-cute!

More Info on the Vacanze Print from Casey at Pulse

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Casey from Pulse has a little bit more info on what the final Tokidoki Vacanze print will look like for us:

“It is wintry themed. The background is dark blue with snow and pine trees. There is a gingerbread house and a lot of the characters are skiing.”

I am excited, it sounds really cute.

Final Tokidoki for LeSportsac Print to be Released in October 2007

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

LeSportSac is ending their much-loved line of Tokidoki bags with a winter-themed print called Vacanze. The Mamma Mia and Bella bag styles will also be discontinued when the Vacanze print is released, so we will have a few less styles to pick from. The Vacanze print will supposedly have Christmas trees and collection of cute characters on it, but I haven’t seen a picture of it yet.

I’m sad… but my wallet is happy.
