TOKIDOKI AND LESPORTSAC REUNITE THIS FALL
Tokidoki fans, mark your calendars! A special meet-and-greet/in-store signing event with artist Simone Legno takes place at LeSportsac in Ala Moana Center Aug. 16 from 2 to 6 p.m.
Legno’s cute and imaginative world of tokidoki returns to LeSportsac this fall for another playful and eye-catching collection launching globally this month. The new tokidoki for LeSportsac collection picks up right where the still-sought-after 2006 partnership left off, and is guaranteed to delight fans of both brands throughout the world.
In celebration of LeSportsac’s 40th anniversary, the 19-piece tokidoki for LeSportsac collection debuts new styles and fabrications for LeSportsac, showcased by two tokidoki prints created for the collection and a quilted solid black offering. Also meet Palette, a never-before-seen character created by Legno that is exclusively debuting in this collection.
In addition to all LeSportsac Boutiques, the tokidoki for LeSportsac collection can be found at the tokidoki flagship store in Los Angeles, online at tokidoki.it, and select Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s and Nordstrom locations.
