Spreading the Tokidoki Love across Asia-Pacific and the world!

Flipping through the local papers today, we saw that the really adorable tokidoki + Fujitsu laptop we spotted in August, has started retailing in Singapore! According to the press release on Fujitsu’s AP site, only 100 pieces of the laptop will be brought into Singapore and will go for SGD2,088.
Goodies are pouring in from all corners here in Asia! The latest tokidoki vinyl toy, Captain Coco of the tokidoki Cocomandos, is now available for preorder from EarthX!
Not only that, we spied that they also have the tokidoki Mirror Mints and a couple of tokidoki Skate Decks available for preorder too. The tokidoki Mirror Mints have been retailing in the USA for quite a while and this is probably the first time any of us here in Asia have seen it.
As for the tokidoki Skate Decks, I really like the version titled “24 Carat” as it looks really different with its two colour scheme (instead of the colourful illustrations we’re so familar with). Even though Christmas is two months away, it’s always good to start shopping early (for yourself!)

Weekends are a good time to go out shopping and over the past weekend we popped by Tangs (Orchard) here in Singapore to check out if they have any new tokidoki apparel in store. We weren’t to be disappointed because they do have the tokidoki Nautical series already (yes we’re really behind time here in Asia!).
I fell in love with this grey terry cloth halter featuring a really cute tokidoki pirate monkey! With a big tokidoki pirate star on the back too! Awwww…

This would be perfect for those outings at the beach where you lounge about in your bikini, do a bit of a swim with no need for a towel coz your tokidoki top is already made of it! The material is quite soft and not scratchy at all to wear.

Besides the material, the top is also embellished with a few tokidoki details. In front you have a tokidoki pirate monkey holding onto a yellow rope and making heart patterns along it. Along the back of the top, there’s a bigggg tokidoki word made out from the rope as well as a sparkling tokidoki pirate star stitched on as well (like a patch).
Can’t resist taking more photos of the tokidoki monkey!

Tempted? Well, if you want to get this gorgeous top, it will set you back SG$105! (*sobs*) Tangs Orchard also have 10-30% off a couple of past tokidoki apparel so you might want to check them out at the Playlab corner on Level 3.

tokidoki’s collaboration with Onitsuka Tiger continues in 2009! They recently did a preview in the US and the upcoming tokidoki + Onitsuka Tiger collection looks fad with a combination of sneakers and slip-ons for the gals. Here are some sneak peeks we managed to find whilst trawling through the Internet:

For the ladies slip-ons, they all have the cute ribbon detail on the back, rubbery sole with inlay printing as well as tokidoki graphics on the inside. But each design features a different theme - black/pink is more punk rocker whereas the pink one has a sweet floral theme.


As for the sneakers, this time round tokidoki has continued with the normal style sneaker (no hi-cut versions) in different colour combinations as well as material. I personally like the version that’s covered in greyish brown suede (with the white tokidoki + Onitsuka Tiger icon on the back!) followed very closely by the classic white with blue and red stripes version. From the design, it seems like tokidoki was very influenced by the recent Olympics - the side featured a tokidoki Tiger holding a torch and running.



After ogling at these photos, we can’t wait for the tokidoki + Onitsuka shoes to be released here in Asia next year!

Get your copy of the Computer Arts Projects Issue 116 when it comes out at the newstands as Simone Legno of tokidoki is one of the featured artists!

According to designer Alan Wardle (he did the layout for the pages!), the magazine will be released in the UK on 9 October so make sure you hop on down to the bookstores/newstands to check out the issue.
