{ Tokidoki for LeSportsac }

All toy/hyped graphic designers seem to go in the same direction: sneakers. Being a girl not too fond of sneakers, I am glad Tokidoki went in a different direction and teamed up not with Nike, not with Adidas, not with another sport brand but with LeSportsac to design some bags. Definitely girlie (this season the colour is nothing else but pink), the graphic mark of Tokidoki is definitely recognizable in the pattern of a futuristic city (with a space needle: Kyoto Tower?) and its skies, inhabited by some of his trademarks characters and new entries as well, all : flying death, spiky creatures, smily airplanes, even a green helicopter and a pink zeppelin ... all so in line with the traditionally cute Japanese aesthetic it's hard to believe they were invented by an Italian (even if a Vespa does appear in the pattern!).

For Qee collectors, each bag comes with a special (beautifully girlie as well) Tokidoki Qee keychain, not distributed on the market and only available with one of the bags, which, while not cheap, are definitely worth a monetary effort: too cute not to have one!
