The first tokidoki bags…

Thursday, May 29, 2008

(We’ve moved to a permanent spot in the Internet! Visit us at our new home www.tokidokizens.com as we continue to update you on the latest news on our favourite designer, tokidoki! See you there! )

milksugar is an online European store that sells tokidoki bags! They are not the same bags that we have seen from LeSportsac or even the new tokidoki EU collection though. The bag designs are a little bit more emo/punk rock somewhat (like a mix between Emily the Strange and Ruby Gloom). Nonetheless, you can still see a little tokidoki style in it.

According to milksugar, this is their story on tokidoki:

A few years ago the young Italian designer Simone Legno created figures in the Japanese Manga style. Provocative and graphically extremely good. Tokidoki was born.

At that time Simone was just as unknown as his figures were. Until Vadobag – the largest manufacturer of licensed comic bags in Europe – created several collections of gorgeous bags according to Simone’s models. We call these first, authentic designs Tokidoki Classics.

Ultimately in 2004 Tokidoki’s worldwide story of success began.

mlksugar+ a leading online shop for trendy bags began marketing Tokidoki on the internet. The success was mind-boggling. In a few weeks we made Tokidoki to an established brand name.

Nobody worldwide has sold more bags from the Classics-collection than milksugar+.

Unfortunately the cooperation between Simone Legno and Vadobag was not continued after the gorgeous and successful collections. Today no more Tokidoki are being manufactured in Europe by Vadobag. In the meantime there is a line of very expensive bags in the USA which however in our opinion do not achieve the same level of fun as Tokidoki Classics.

When the European project failed milksugar+ bought up all available Tokidoki on time. That is why today, milksugar+ is the only shop worldwide which can still deliver a large selection of Tokidoki. Original, authentic and at bargain prices!

We have the unique Tokidoki. Most of the models only available here.

You can still get these bags from them on their online store which is going at about 20 – 50 euros each, plus, they provide international shipping! Hurray for people here in Asia.

tokidoki meets good ol’ denim jeans

OMG!! Was trolling the web for tokidoki (as usual) and to my surprise I found tokidoki jeans!!! *I can hear my wallet whimpering*

These jeans which are available from the Europe collection, is simply divine and oozing coolness.

Check out the leather label (cool-factor +10)! Also, I like how each back pocket is different; featuring a close crop of the tokidoki logo, as well as one of his more notable Asian lady characters.

This washed-out black denim together with the black leather label is simply Fierce – with a capital F! Check out the black patent/leather logo print on the back pocket. It’s all these attention to detail and the mix of materials used that gives the Europe collection the +10 GLAM factor. We so love the small details in every single pair!

They even have a cotton drawstring pants edition with Adios and Ciao Ciao on the bum pockets. Kawaii!!

Don’t worry, they haven’t forgotten all the blokes out there! For the boys, there are 3 different denim versions:

The one above and below has different back pockets; one with white Adios star and the other with blue Adios star stitchings. As you can see, the detailing on the right bum pocket is also different; one with black embroidered stitchings and the other blue. Check out the prints on the inside of the jeans (end of the leg)!! *drools*

These jeans are definitely on our to-buy lists, while we continue to squirrel money into our tokidoki-fund piggy banks. In the mean time, any lucky ones out there who already has one in their wardrobe? Send us some shots of you in them jeans! =D

tokidoki apparel from Europe

I must say that the apparel from Europe is really much much more interesting and eye catching. Take a look at these MUST haves! They carry the “vinyl records” print designs:

This is one of my favourites!

This halter top is just awesome! *mental note to self: Priority in tokidoki-to-buy list*

This wide neck top has this retro flair to it that’s actually quite sexy. Include a bright yellow high waisted-belt and you get a mini dress! ;)

Look out for our tokidoki GSS (Great Singapore Shopping) specials later this week as we bring to you the great finds we saw at Queen’s Couture!
