JapanLA of Los Angeles, CA has their Vacanze bag shipment in – they are accepting walk-in or telephone orders for them, and have the following styles available: Ciao, Gioco, Buon Viaggio, Zucca, Avventura, Stellina, Dolce, Bambino, Bambinone, Campeggio, Denaro, Canguro, and Cucciolo. My partner in tokidoki shopping crime let me know that Virgin Megastore in Times Square, NYC has Vacanze Ciao Ciaos, Stellinas, and Giocos, as well as a few Trasporto bags left in stock. Reader Rachel also let me know that a store called Domy Books at 1709 Westheimer in Houston, TX has 4 Vacanze items in stock and a handful of tokidoki bags from past seasons as well.
If you have found tokidoki Vacanze bags in your city, post where you have seen them in the comments.
Just to make sure that everyone saw this: hoefler just left a comment that she called LeSportsac and was able to place a Vacanze bag order by phone – the Vacanze print was released today for pre-orders. Pre-orders will start shipping on Monday. Also, you can’t use the LeSportsac.com coupon code over the phone (she asked!). The woman that hoefler spoke to was not sure of the exact online release date.
Pulse received their shipment of tokidoki Vacanze print bags today, yaaay! If you pre-ordered from them, check for a phone or e-mail message from Casey if you haven’t received one already. If you didn’t pre-order, you can send them an e-mail to see which Vacanze bag styles they have left after filling their pre-orders. I know that they are sold out of Vacanze denaros.
Reader SJL just spoke to a representative at LeSportsac and was told that Vacanze print bags would be up on LeSportsac.com next week! I’m going to add the caveat that the info that LeSportsac reps give out is not always completely confirmed, but for what it’s worth, get ready.
Also, the luckybreaks6 25% off coupon code for LeSportsac.com expires on November 1st*. I’m *guessing* that means that the Vacanze bags will be up on November 2nd.
* UPDATE: The code doesn’t expire until December 3rd!

And here is a photo of their in store tokidoki display:

Thanks to reader Leah for letting me know about this shop!
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!
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.
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.
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. ♥
