Greetings!
This is my first posting, so bear with me...
I stumbled upon the world of Tokidoki while searching ebay for my other passion "Stila". There was an auction that included a Smashbox item of Tokidoki and I started searching Tokidoki which led me to LeSportsac and my new obsession. I checked styles and prints and decided to collect the bocce in all prints it came in. I initially chose the bocce for two reasons, price and availability. It's the smallest style bag so not a whole lot of people want them and therefore they are less expensive as well. But as I started purchasing them I discovered a new reason bocce is a perfect style to collect...the challenge of getting a good print placement. Bocce is so small it can only show a fraction of the print but because of this, you can really focus on the characters! I am really enjoying my Tokidoki collection and the only downside so far is that some prints do not come in that style. So what do you think? And remember, this is a collection...I probably won't be using them functionally.

Fun! I'd love to see pics of your collection so far!

pinkpeony · Sep 12th, 2007, 11:18 PM

Hiya!

Welcome to the forum. Bocce appeared in the season 3 - so you won't find any in OP and Camo/Playgound. I am not so sure about availability though since not many B&M or online stores carry them. For $88, I would really more inclined to collect Caramellas instead but hey, that's just me.

Wishing you all the best in your endeavor! I know collecting send your adrenalin rushing whenever you find the piece you wanted. And yeah, as gabes_mommy pointed out, pics pls!!

tehlilone · Sep 12th, 2007, 11:19 PM

hehe that's why I'm collecting dolces only popularity isn't on my side

so many people want dolces. I debated bocces but they're not practical for me

venaca · Sep 12th, 2007, 11:20 PM

Well, you can get 2nd generation OP bocce

lbfury3 · Sep 12th, 2007, 11:23 PM

I'm trying to post pics, but it's only letting post 5 at a time!

tehlilone · Sep 12th, 2007, 11:24 PM

aww purdiness. I really love your placements. You're right that you need to find just the right one. What would be your perfect placements in the other prints btw?

OOHHH and yeah there's a limit on each post... so you can only have like 5 attachments in each thingi. If you link outside you can have 8 pictures which is what I normally do since I use so many smilies

gabes_mommy · Sep 12th, 2007, 11:28 PM

Your Foresta (love the Tiger!) and Inferno are my favorites - so cute!

lbfury3 · Sep 12th, 2007, 11:29 PM

Well, I still need an OP 2nd gen. but I don't really have fav's on that one. I need L'Amore...does that come in the bocce? I think that's it for prints...the others are the Fumo,Bianco and Arcania.

I

your collection of bocces! What a fun and unique way to collect these great bags. I collect campeggios (I have one of each print) because that's the one I use the most. But it does get expensive and eventually they will wear out! Good luck finding the rest! Post more photos as you add more...

pinkpeony · Sep 12th, 2007, 11:36 PM

They're really so pretty - good luck with your other finds!

I know where I can possibly find an Arancia. It was the first Bocce I ever saw in person, and I'll bet it's still sitting on the shelf in the store I found it at! I remember thinking, "wow, that's really expensive for a bag that has no practical purpose." Or maybe the Bocce does serve a practical purpose that I'm not aware of-- Ladies, enlighten me!
I also think collecting Bocces is a very adorable hobby.

lbfury3 · Sep 12th, 2007, 11:42 PM

My computer is so slooow! Thanks for all the responses! I'm posting the rest now...some are of the other side. I have two of the adios print bocces.
