Wow! New in: Punky Pins, The Beatles, Labyrinth and Retro Sunglasses
This month we have been very, very busy bees! Have a look at what's new...
Punky Pins invaded the independent fashion scene with a range of kitsch accessories in 2005. Produced and handmade in-house in their fast paced design studios, Punky Pins offers fresh, fun, cutting edge designs that can't be found on the high street. Our new collection consists of 11 individual and quirky pieces which have a nostalgic, retro feel. Click HERE to see the full range.
The TruffleShuffle My Little Pony!
There are a LOT of My Little Pony fans here at Truffle Towers so when one of our lovely customers who has her own business making custom Ponies got in touch with us, offering to make us our very own TruffleShuffle Pony - unsurprisingly, we leapt at the chance!
Victoria who runs Equine Vulgarity is a master of creating bespoke versions of the cartoon cuties we all grew up with so we asked her to come up with an 80's tastic Pony to become the Truffle Towers unofficial mascot!
Check out her masterpiece below...
Isn't she a beauty!
She comes complete with a neon mane, beaded accessories, bright leg warmers and her very own old school pink visor - a true 80's vision!
Now all that remains is to give her a name - what do you think guys? We'd love to hear your suggestions!
Minimalist Superheroes
There's nothing I like more than Trawling the internet for random pictures and videos. And every so often you find fresh artistic talent that just catches you eye, in this case made even better by its retro inspired theme. These Minimal Superhero Posters by art student Calvin Lin perfectly demonstrate my point.
The minimalist designs are great, from Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman to Green Lantern and others, every poster is also 100% clear, without ever showing too much.
I don't know about you, but I'd love these hung around my house!

The latest collection that we are expecting in the coming weeks is based on Snow White, Cinderella, Tinkerbell and Winnie The Pooh! I have a few pictures to share with you and thought you might like a sneaky peak so you know what to expect and perhaps add to your wishlists!

Amazing, Cult Movie Tees
There's nothing we like better than snuggling up on the sofa under a blanket with a huge bucket of salty popcorn watching old school movies when the rain is pounding down outside! Our love of all the cult classics, has fed our insatiable desire to buy as many amazing movie tees as possible. Here is a little glimpse of some of the highlights.
The 80's heralded the arrival of a group of teens who made a massive impact on the movies of the day. Stars such as Matthew Broderick, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy,Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson and Emilio Estevez acted out their angst in a series of coming of age films.
