New Years Day

New Years Day appears in Style Boutique once again, however the holiday is not as celebrated as it was in Fashion Forward. There are no longer any New Years Day themed events with NPC's to encounter. The only aspect of the game that celebrates New Years Day is the greetings from the brand representatives at the Exhibition Hall.

Once January 1st comes along in the game, head over to the Exhibition Hall and talk to each brand representative. They will greet you with a special new year message and thank you for your custom over the past year. They will ask you to continue shopping at their brand during the new year. No other New Years Day greetings appear in the game from other NPC's.

Amiibo - Ribbon Tote Bag & Style Boutique Emblem

Style Boutique 3 has amiibo compatibility and unlocks special designs for your character to wear. In this game, amiibos unlock emblems and design items that are unique to the amiibo character. Certain amiibo figures unlock certain content and this guide will look at the Ribbon Tote Bag and the Style Boutique Emblem which can be unlocked with any Nintendo amiibo that is not associated with the character/series specific amiibo designs.

Example of the Ribbon Tote Bag - Polka Dot Ribbon design coloured

To scan an amiibo into the game, open the phone menu and select the amiibo app. Make sure that you have the internet/online switched on. You will need either a New Nintendo 3DS/2DS with the built in NFC reader or a separate NFC Reader from Nintendo. Turn the NFC reader on if you are using the stand-alone one. Place the amiibo on the 3DS or NFC reader and the game will ask to scan it in. Once you have successfully scanned the amiibo into the game, you can either close the amiibo app or scan in more amiibos. Go to your apartment and select the Design option to access the content unlocked by the amiibo.

The Ribbon Tote bag and Style Boutique emblem will unlock if you scan any Nintendo amiibo that is not associated with the character/series specific amiibo designs. For example, the Mario series amiibos unlock the Mario content. This means the Mario amiibos will only unlock those designs and emblems. If you scan in a Pikachu or Zero Suit Samus amiibo, they will unlock the Ribbon Tote Bag and emblem as they are not linked to a character specific item. This means that all amiibos from Nintendo are compatible with the game. Scanning the amiibo will unlock the Style Boutique emblem which features the famous shoe logo from the game series. You can add this emblem to various design items or to shopping bags.


Style Boutique Shoe Emblem

The Ribbon Tote Bag features three designs: Simple Ribbon, Lace Ribbon and Polka Dot Ribbon. Select the bag option from the design menu and you will see the base Ribbon Tote bag. Select this and the three options for the bag design will appear. You can recolour the bag and emblem designs to any colour using the design feature.
