Tokidoki

This place had some awesome stuff, is it really closed? Say it isn’t so…

went today to check out some new tokidoki line, and it’s closed! so sad that it wasn’t there. :(

um! store closed and it’s now a swim shop :(

This store is quite big, especially when given the fact that passing by, it seems quite the contrary. The white walls add to the illusion, and make everything look so «perfect», you really want to buy everything! The staff is friendly, and quite attractive, which never hurts! The only reason for my 4 stars is the fact that I simply looked around, didn’t buy, and so I’m not 100% sure what the customer service experience had been closer up!
Ohh… I must add, the artwork on the back wall towards the cashier, is AMAZING!

I used to be a totally obsessed with the tokidoki lifestyle until a sex crazed ego maniac that works there became obsessed with hitting on me. I was a frequent customer of both the store and online market until I ran into someone who claimed to be the owner. This man Arnold, harassed me for my number and when I would not give it to him, he contacted me through my online credit card info from their website. After my parents got involved he finally stopped calling me. I cannot say anymore without bringing tears to my eyes. Please stay away from this establishment and these predators.

Wow, this store is pretty big!
It was my first visit to this location, and to my VERY PLEASANT surprise there was a sale on the items I wanted!
30% off Fall/​Winter apparel which included the TKDK x Street Fighter and Marvel line. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
I got the super awesome Chun-​Li vs Sandy Tee for $ 17.50 (normally $ 25)

And a Captain America + Captain Kitty hoodie for $ 43 (normally $ 62)

Close up on the hoodie:
LOVE IT.
I had called the store to see if they had the Street Fighter shirt in my size, which they did, and the girl that worked there mentioned the 30% off sale, which definitely got me walking faster to the store. Woohoo!
I’m tempted to go to the Melrose location now to see what other stuff they have on sale. Still quite a drive from the OC though!
Tokidok fans will love this store. Get to it!

Good store. There are always cute things for sale.
I have been here a few times and have never been disappointed.

I like the Marvel Tokidoki gear. They’ll be rare now after Disney bought Marvel. Disney is a nazi with licensing so don’t expect anymore Marvel Tokidoki stuff.

I am a huge fan of the Tokidoki brand and am so happy that they have a store in LA. Yesterday at ComiCon I got the coolest Pantera (a tokidoki charachter not the band) mimobot usb and it’s the cutest darn thing I own. Ok, enough about ComiCon… The store is really well laid out and has so many cool things inside of it. From clothes to phone covers they’ve got it handled. If you are into Kawaii style artwork than you should seriously consider coming in to the store (or looking at the website if you have to). I’m a huge fan!

What a cute store! My daughter loves this place, and although it can be a bit pricey, the shirts and toys they have here are adorable. The ladies who worked at the store were very helpful, and we did not experience any of the rudeness that others reviewers mentioned. The store is well organized, very clean, and well stocked. We will be back for sure!

The first Tokidoki store that I’ve ever been to and I LOVED it! I came here on the 25^th of Jan (Wed) after a 7 hr drive (with traffic) from SF. Buying a new Tokidoki bag was one of the reasons why I wanted to take my birthday vacation to LA! I met w/​the manager, Matt and he was very patient w/​me because there was so much things to choose from. I ended up buying 2 satchels: 1 for $ 98 (last one), another one for $ 128, a keychain w/​the donut&unicorn on it, 2 unicorn necklaces & a poster from the Melrose store. I told Matt it was my 1^st road trip to LA and he said I should check out the Melrose location (it’s smaller than this one) and that they have more items over there. I ended up getting 3 – 4 stickers after each purchase I made. so cool! I had no idea they did that. Definately cannot wait to come back!

I’ve been to the SoHo & Melrose stores but now that they have one in Santa Monica, I go here most often. I can’t help but pop in to see what’s new or what I should buy next. Been a fan since forever! Simone is one talented artist and I am very happy that he has opened up these stores.

I’ve been to both this store and the one on Melrose, and I have to admit I prefer this one better. It’s bigger and in a location that’s more convenient (in my opinion) for many things (more shopping, parking, eating, etc.).
I recently took a day trip up here JUST to go to this store. A purse I had wanted since a few months ago was up for sale again, but sold out online. I called both this store and the one on Melrose to be pleasantly surprised they both still had the bag in stock. However, this store offered to hold one of the bags for me for a day without me even asking. (How nice!)
Oh Tokidoki. how I hate that I spend so much every time I visit, but I can’t help but LOVE your stuff. :)

Best. Tokidoki. Store. ever!!! Ok, haha, this is the ONLY Tokidoki store I’ve ever been to (I’m from HI, no Tokidoki store there… yet), but what a great visit I had. I just want to point out that, duh, the Tokidoki stuff is cute, fun, & perfect… but more importantly, I was won over by their workers. The two girls working the night I stopped by were SUPER nice and helpful. (Sorry I wish I got their names…) I picked up a few items and even got a complimentary Tokidoki bag that was being offered.
But I think the best part is that 1) they let us take a few photos (the wall is just gorgeous!!), 2) they told my anti-​Tokidoki bf the story of Tokidoki and how it’s a story of hope so now he has a greater appreciation, yes! (read the blog for the story) and 3) they were so nice they let me open my mystery unicorns right there just in case I didn’t like them… PLUS, I got a boatload of stickers. Nothing like more Tokidoki for this chic to keep me happy.
Again…if you love Tokidoki, STOP HERE!!!

They’ve added more inventory since I first started frequenting this store, which is pretty awesome. My first visit, it was all small tchotchkes: jewelry, key chains, thumbdrives, collectibles, wrist-​wallets, no apparel. It all looked sparse on the plain, bright backdrops. Friendly service then and now, though the staff roster’s expanded now too. Today, the space features full-​fledged Tokidoki inventory– Asian nerd haven at its best.

T– oo cute. I love this store!
O– outrageous designs and colors on their clothing
K– ind of odd location in the mall but easy to get to
I– think they should carry more items.
D– idn’t see any Hello Kitty for Tokidoki which is my favorite
O– rganized and well put together
K– ind and friendly staff
I– will definitely go back, it such a happy store!

This store is by far, my favorite TOKIDOKI store, that I’ve ever visited (which includes New York Soho and Melrose). It is more spacious and everything about it is super kawaii!!!
I remember the girls in NY were unfriendly and did not allow pictures to be taken unless they were outside of the store. Melrose girls, are the exact opposite. They were extremely nice, super helpful, and so sweet.
I told the sales associates that we came from out of town and she gave my friends and I 2 stickers each before we even made a purchase. I also asked if pictures were allowed to be taken in the store and the girls said, «oh yeah! go ahead!» :) She also told my friends and I that Simone dropped by just the other day. That’s why I told her that I went to the grand opening of the Melrose store.
Anyway, this Tokidoki store is awesome! They even have extra Frenzies out too. I was happy with the Skeletrino that I bought but I loved the option that if I opened something I didn’t want (but who wouldn’t want anything Tokidoki related) or had already, I can exchange it for something else.
I have yet to go back but I can’t wait!!! Unicornos, here I come! :)

Tokidoki sure has come along way since designing for Le Sport Sac bags! They have tons of product now and i’m a huge fan of their clothing.
I think this store fits perfectly for Santa Monica Place! I really love their Marvel theme stuff.
I saw a lot of things were not priced– more than i didn’t want to bother a salesperson– i was afraid to actually know, since most things are on the expensive side.

I attended the grand opening of the store in December, which allowed the first 100 people to get a free Tokidoki tote bag and bandana. The décor is extremely cute and colorful and the selection of Tokidoki items is great. The store has most, if not all, of the current clothing designs, bags, figures, plushes, Sephora make up, Onitsuka Tiger shoes, jewelry, and skate decks.
Prices are normally high for Tokidoki merchandise, and I think they may be a little higher here due to the location. Santa Monica Place is a very nice outdoor mall, and the area is close to the beach. Shoppers should expect to pay a little more here due to the area alone. I haven’t been back to the area since, but I’d gladly visit again to see what’s new.

Everywhere you look in this store, you’ll see something that will make you say awww, like the giant Ciao Ciao figurine in the window, the Tokidoki decorated Xmas tree, Karl Lagerfeld toy, the mural with Tokidoki characters, and all the Tokidoki merchandise: Hello Kitty/​Tokidoki items, t-​shirts, necklaces, watches, makeup line, shoes, bags, flash drives, vinyl and plush character toys ($ 15 and up), hats/​caps, pillowcases, hoodies, sunglasses, iPhone cases, baby clothes, skatedecks and more.
It’s about $ 30 for a Tokidoki t-​shirt and $ 36 for a necklace. The prices aren’t too bad when you get something so cute in return — e.g., Donutella with her doughnut ears, Mozzarella defender of milk money, and Adiós (the grim reaper). There aren’t too many small, low price trinkets, e.g., stickers, pencils, notepads. The zipper pulls ($ 5) are the lowest price item in the store.
With your purchase you get a choice of a nice Tokidoki character sticker and a nice signature shopping bag.
