MY BAD! how embarassing! :wtf:

I waaant the Citta Rosa Buon Viaggio (if it comes in that bag style).

I know the print is out of season, and the bags are going up in price since (I read in a girl's online blog) Fall '07 is Tokidoki's last set of bags.

It DOES come in Buon Viaggio, but your best bet is to try to find it on LJ or eBay (although ones that have been up recently went for above retail). There are some complicated joining procedures, but http://community.livejournal.com/shoptokidoki is a good place to find hard to find bags at a reasonable price.

* just throwing it out there again *

I know the fakes have many things wrong with them (hardware, "this of flower'spring" nonsense, colors too light or bright)... HOW do the fake makers get a hold of the print?!?!?!?!? It's so on point!

Oh thank you so much for telling me! Although, HOW complicated? :p

You just have to read through the joining instructions (it involves posting a secret code to an LJ post and waiting to be approved by the mods) thoroughly and be patient.

The Ciao Ciao bag often showcases the entire print swatch, so if you have a scanner and a factory in China you're good to go. :tdown:

and, (i've been reading this thread and learning), the hardware isn't a color and the chain is a cheap shot-bead chain.

The hardware is only colored (blue/green) on the first generation Original Tokidoki print and Original Black bags (with original print inside (NOT Citta inside) from the first season.

All other bags have various finishes on the hardware depending on the print. For instance, L'Amore has shiny gold, Tutti has shiny silver, Pirata has a burnished bronze color, Inferno has brushed silver, etc.

It can be confusing...and at first you think half the fake bags are real, and half the real bags are fake, and you end up looking like this :nuts: when browsing eBay.

We've all been there. LOL, welcome to the addiction. :yes:

ohhhhh?!?!? i would have assumed it was the latest print, but i had heard that the black and white fall '07 bags were the last of the tokidoki bags being made....?!?!?!

:cursing:

Tutti - the black and white is the third last print - second last is Trasporto and the last print will be Vacanze. And then it would be Ciao Cioa to new prints and Adios to past prints!!
