TruffleShuffle.com Buyer's Look Of The Month - September
I get nostalgic pretty much every day working at the Truffle HQ, but can't help but go a little weak at the knees when new Care Bears merchandise comes in.
I collected the cards, had the cuddly toys, watched the cartoon, had the pencil case, all of it! If they there was tinned spaghetti in the shape of Care Bears (which I expect there most probably was), I'm sure I would have had that too!
So this month's look is centered around our super cute new vintage print Care Bears t shirt on the popular and uber flattering rolled sleeve boyfriend tee (which has proved a massive hit with you)! I am also loving the current trend for midi skirts (no embarrassing moments on blustery days - phew!) and simply teaming with some classic Converse All Star high tops, you simply can't go wrong!
And to when you are unwinding after all that shopping, why not take your tea in this super cute Retro Care Bears Mug! Ahhhh...

Our Amazing New Spongebob Squarepants Guitars Are Music To Our Ears
If you didn't know already, it's pretty much a crime not to love Spongebob!
Ever since he popped along back in 1999 (can you believe it!?) we've been addicted to this cheeky and oh-so innocent sponge from Bikini Bottom along with his pet snail, Gary and of course best friend Patrick Star....the starfish.
You never quite know what Spongebob and co will be up to next, but one thing's for sure, it won't be anything normal and they'll be doing their best to 'accidentally' annoy their neighbour Squidward! Love it!
With so much to love from this cult show, we're always on the hunt for new and exciting ways to show off our love and pick up some cool new Spongebob Merchandise which is what we've just done with our fab new range of Spongebob guitars and musical accessories!
Great gifts for budding musicians or a pretty cool way to jazz up your collection, take a look at our latest delivery below and get some more classic cartoon action in your lives....
Exclusive New She-Ra Clothing You'll Just Adora!
For the honor of Greyskull! Just when you thought our warehouse shelves couldn't possibly hold any more awesome retro designs, we've only gone and packed in even more leaving the rafters fit to burst with some exciting new designs!
This time we've been inspired by the amazing retro hero...She-Ra!
Lovingly known as He-Man's hot twin sister (maybe by the guys here at TruffleShuffle anyways), She-Ra has become one of the most iconic cartoon heroes of a generation. Not only was she possibly one of the most powerful women ever, she lead the Great Rebellion in the hope of freeing their homeworld of Etheria from the tyrannical rule of Hordak, Evil Horde, and later on Skeletor.
With such an all round amazing and classic character, we're gone all out with our latest designs.
Featuring the Princess herself, this also comes complete with a distressed gold foil embellished print for some extra vintage style and retro points for a great original tee feel like it was plucked straight out of the 80s.
Not wanting to leave anyone out the of action, we've put our design on a ladies rolled sleeve tshirt, a men's style t-shirt and of course a vest for the summer months. Take a peep....
Cowabunga! 10 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
In celebration of our fab new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-Shirts and in anticipation of the release of the brand new reboot film which hits our shores on 17th October we are dedicating this blog post to Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello. I am proud to present to you 10 things you (probably) didn't know about everyone's favourite ass-kicking reptiles.
1. The turtles started life as a brainstorming session between friends Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman in 1983, they found the idea of a slow, cold-blooded reptile with the speed and grace of a Japanese ninja very funny and the concept grew from there. Using money from a tax refund and borrowing from Kevin's uncle they formed Mirage Studios and self published the very first issue of the Turtles comic. From humble beginnings...
2. This original comic series was actually pretty adult, the turtles would slash and stab their enemies with their weapons and they even killed off Shredder in the first issue! They even liked to drink a spot of booze and throw around a swear word or two, but then don't we all! Shredder was brought back to life in 1987 when he became the Turtle's arch nemesis.
3. Shredder was inspired by Kevin Eastmen seeing a large cheese grater and inquiring "Can you imagine a character with weapons on his arms like this?"
