A [not so] long time ago in a city [not so] far, far away…
Here at TruffleShuffle our range of officially licensed Star Wars T-Shirts & Gifts seems to be growing faster than the Millennium Falcon in hyperdrive. So what better time to give you a quick rundown on some of my favourite t-shirts.
Whether youâre an AT-AT addict, a sucker for a Stormtrooper or go delirious for Darth we have something youâll love! Our wide range of products owes thanks to some great brands creating even greater designs!! Chunk, Junkfood and Fabric Flavours have created some real gems. Chunk cleverly mix your favourite characters into modern day situations bringing a fun twist to some classic intergalactic stars. Junk Food boast some seriously retro artwork, these will definitely âflick the switchesâ for all the die-hard Star Wars fans. And donât think weâve forgotten about those up and coming Luke Skywalkers as Fabric Flavours has some brilliant t-shirts and babygrows.
With such an âout of this worldâ collection of brilliant officially licensed Star Wars t-shirts and gifts I thought Iâd better pick out some of my highlights.
First off, A surfing Wookie. I canât imagine paddling to catch that perfect wave when suddenly a wookie âdrops inâ on you and steals that perfect moment. Luckily, this probably isnât going to happen but that didnât stop Chunk creating this amazing design. Yours for just £27.99.
Continuing the sports theme, have you ever wondered what what Yodaâs right hook would feel like? Well, it turns out when heâs not busy being a Jedi master or a DJ for that matter he like nothing more than a few rounds in the ring. This t-shirt from Chunk is an absolute knock out at £27.99
What’s new Trufflecats?
March has been a very special month, with lots of new brands and collections being launched on the site. Just as the sun is starting to show it's face and coming out from behind the clouds, we sure are ready to boost our tee collections in preparation for the Summer months!
______________________________________________________________________________
If you consider yourself a bookish type, avert your eyes from your gripping read and peer over your sexy specs at this fabulous new collection. Out of Print celebrates the world's great stories through fashion. Their tees feature iconic and often out of print book covers. Some are classics, some are just curious enough to make great t-shirts, but all are striking works of art! Featuring cult titles such as Pride And Prejudice, Catch 22, The Great Gatsby, Moby Dick and Wuthering Heights. In addition to spreading the joy of reading on their fab tees, Out Of Print acknowledge that many parts of the world don't have access to books at all, so for each product sold, one book is donated to a community in need through their partner Books For Africa. Such and delightful and heart warming mission and stunning tees too!
My Top 5 Movie Tees
As you may imagine, when people find out I work at T-Shirt emporium TruffleShuffle.com, the first question I'm asked are which are my favourite designs.
Being a self confessed 80's movie buff, I have a particular soft spot for our 80's Movie T-Shirts so I couldn't resist running down my top 5 for you.
Enjoy!
1. Dark Crystal Movie T-Shirts
Inspired of course by one of the best Jim Henson films of my childhood, this awesome The Dark Crystal design is a great way to remember the legendary 80's fantasy flick that terrified and amazed in equal measures. One minute I'd be wide eyed in a world of beautiful fantasy and adventure and the next it would have me hiding behind my pillow from the Evil Skeksis, the bad guys of the film who looked like giant, skeletal crows who'd been dressed in rotting flesh. Imported especially from the US of A, not only do I love this because it pays homage to one of my childhood classics but also because it's one of our rarer designs, only available in limited numbers so you're unlikely to see anyone else walking down the street in the same tee as you. Always a bonus.
Why I can't help but be enchanted by Disney Couture Jewellery
We have a long love affair with Disney Couture Jewellery here at TruffleShuffle HQ and have seen many collections come (and often speedily) go over the years. Some pieces are so much adored that they have become part of a core collection and are certainly here to stay - we call these the Classics. Then we have all the exciting collaborations with of-the-moment fashion designers, the most recent being the premium Minnie Mawi Collection which not only we loved, but celebs were seen wearing the pieces left, right and centre! Finally, the latest Disney Couture launch, the Icon Collection, brought together all your favourite Disney fairytale characters on a range of intricately designed to the teeniest detail pieces.
The Classics
These best sellers have earned their place in the Classics collection. With ever-lasting love from our loyal customers, the press and a wealth of celebrity fans, it would be sacrilege to lose these beautiful pieces and so we will endeavour to keep them on the site for as long as we can.
Too much Junk Food is good for you!
As the new Junk Food t-shirts arrived this week there were many happy faces in the TruffleShuffle office! Straight away I purchased the Wonder Woman Off the Shoulder Pullover which has quickly become my favourite jumper (I finally gave my boyfriend his Superman Hoodie back, although I was sad to see it go!)
Hitting the shelves in the Men's Junk Food section include ranges such as Snoopy, Goofy, Villians of DC, Star Wars and Mickey Mouse. Check out our full range of Mens Junk Food t-shirts by clicking here.

From Romance to Bromance - TruffleShuffle's Got It Covered This Valentine's!
TruffleShuffle's one stop guide to movies on the box this Valentineâs day!
So if allâs gone to plan Casanova has swept you off your feet or Prince Charming has melted your heart to a cheesy fondue like substance! You may have received acres of roses, masses of heart shaped chocolates or you were lucky your bloke remembered and made that last minute dash to the petrol station and got you something meaningful and romantic like a rose scented magic tree for your car (hey I try!)
Or maybe you donât believe in Valentine's day at all and youâll ignore everything going on around you because itâs a scam made up by corporate fat cats and big wigs to get you to waste money on rubbish thatâs going to end up in the bin anyway. Whichever category you fall in to Iâll do my best for you if youâre spending Valentine's night in alone or with your partner.
Iâll start with the two most romantic movies on tonight.
First up a film Iâve not seen (it sounds a bit slushy!) âYouâve got mailâ ITV2 7.30pm - two rivals in a bookshop business fall in love over the internet, unaware they know and dislike each other in the real world. With Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Itâs most likely to be like âSleepless in Seattleâ but then Iâve never seen that either (most definitely slushy!) I can however quote Joey from Friends and say âMeg Ryan getâs mail and stuffâ.
