We love TruffleShuffle tees just as much as you do!
Working for the biggest online retailer of cool t-shirts, we see our fair share of amazing tees hit the shelves...! But which ones have stuck out? Do we have a favourite..and why do we love them so much? I've grabbed 10 minutes with a few of my favourite TruffleShufflers and asked them about their fashion tee-ndencies while they've worked here, and what generally makes them tick when it comes to the world of retro! Enjoy!
First up is James, the designer for TruffleShuffle (he's the one responsible for all the cool t-shirts - so we should probably take 5 minutes to applaud his geniusness!)
Favourite t-shirt ever produced? - Old Skool Gamer T-Shirt. I've been a massive computer game fan since I was about 10, so to get the opportunity to design a T-Shirt featuring all my favourite consoles and controllers was a bit of a treat.
Favourite range you've ever designed? - Sesame Street is always really fun to work with, they've got such a versatile range of characters and we're always allowed to do quite weird and wonderful things with them. Whether we've got Elmo and the gang crossing Abbey Road, joining a rock group or even recreating the Trainspotting movie poster they always make it look cool!
What was your first t-shirt ever purchased from TruffleShuffle? - My first T-Shirt from TruffleShuffle was one featuring Pac-Man and one of the Ghosts taking over Tokyo, it managed to look retro and modern at the same time and is still one of the favourite items in my wardrobe! It came from Chunk clothing who are always experts in doing weird mash ups with their characters.

Gromit Unleashed Hits Bristol!
Are you as big a fan of the troublesome, adventurers Wallace and Gromit as we are?? Then this could be right up your street....literally!
Yes an amazing 80 creatively decorated, 5ft tall statues of one of our all-time favourite TV dogs Gromit have been carefully placed all around our hometown of Bristol as part of a fund raising effort. These have all been carefully designed by some pretty big names including the likes of Sir Quentin Blake, Cath Kidston, One Direction's Zayn Malik, The Beano and TV's Harry Hill!
Gromit Unleashed, which has been organised by Aardman Animations and the Bristol Children's Hospital charity - Wallace & Gromit's Grant Appeal - will run for just 10 weeks. These amazing sculptures have been sponsored by many local businesses and will be auctioned off after the event on October 3rd to raise money for the Children's Hospital. Much like the gorilla statues in 2011 which raised about £500,000 for charity, we really hope to see even more interest and are so pleased to see the cheeky chappies around the city every day.
I even get to walk past this amazing one every day at Temple Meads train station. Always makes me smile...
Nick Park, creator of the Oscar-winning animated characters said: "To see him this massive is incredible. I always thought Gromit would make it big, but not like this,""I was quite worried, because I'm quite fussy about Gromit, and I didn't know if he would make a very good blank canvas for the artists to work on. But I think I am more just honoured that he is being used."
Enjoy a day of jokes and pranks at the new Beanotown exhibition!
It's time to join the party with Dennis the Menace, Gnasher, Minnie the Minx, the Bash St Kids and many more as they celebrate a staggering 75 years of the nations favourite comic, The Beano! We've always loved the iconic comic and the adventures of it's many troublesome characters and you guys obviously agree after the popularity of our classic range of Beano T-Shirts!
The perfect place to celebrate this birthday is at Beanotown, a recreation of the fictional home of Dennis and the gang featuring a whole host of fun activities to see and do.

Exclusive New She-Ra & He-Man T-Shirts Now In!
WE HAVE TEE POWERRRRR!!
Every woman wants him, every man wants to be him...yep uber ripped, washboard abs hero He-Man is back in action once again on some amazing new exclusive and 100% official T-Shirts!
Fight against evil and become the most powerful being in the universe simply by donning this amazing new He-Man T-Shirt and saying those magic words we'd all love to shout as kids (and sometimes even now but shhhh). This design is printed onto a premium vintage tee which features scuffed ribbing around the neck, arms and hem. This is an intentional feature which adds to the aged look and feel of the tee and makes this just that little extra special.
But wait there's more!
Probably the coolest cartoon babe ever to exist, He-Man's twin sister She-Ra (how ridiculous are their genes huh?) is just as much of a butt whooping action packed heorine as her sibling, but she does bring her own twist to things with a much more strategic method about it. Ever so loyal and looking to do the right thing every step of the way, She-Ra is a dream of a woman and we will proudly rock her image on our tees any day!
