I've never been much for brands -as I have barely any knowledge of brands as is- (as a matter of fact I dislike them quite a lot too), and this was no exception when I first laid eyes on the tokidoki products. The colors seemed too vibrant, and it always looked like so much chaos happening that- well... I just stared. It kept me wondering how people can spend so much on one item when that money could be saved up for school, buying a car, or a house.
I guess you can say curiosity drew me into it all. It actually wasn't until I was looking through some of the old print releases a month and a half ago that I saw the Inferno print.
I almost drooled.
It was so cute! ;_; Kind of like love at first sight (since I decided on the Cucciolo). I searched everywhere for it, while being introduced and seeing tokidoki in a new light. I ended up trying to convince myself that I didn't need it, nor did I want it, but because the collection was no longer available, it made me want it more. I finally found the print on a Japanese site, and got my friend to order it for me. I'm sure most of you know that in Japan, something like tokidoki is extremely expensive. I'm paying nearly double the price it was originally sold for (bag+shipping and handling= $310 CAD).
But I love it (just got it 2 days ago). The print placement doesn't exactly show the little guy with the watermelon... so that's the only thing a tad disappointing, but overall I love the bag almost too much to not use it. *laughs*
But yeah, have any of you gone through something similar concerning tokidoki (since I see that quite a few of you are on a ban). What's your epic tale like, care to share? : D
