What does Barbie carry her lunch in? Not a paper bag that's for sure. Could it be, are they here? YES THEY ARE. The Doll-icious lunch bag range from Clippy London has arrived!!!

What's that pretty pink holder for? Oooooooo - Its a Coffee Cuff to add some Barbie glam to your Starbucks.
Maternity Styling Tips from TruffleShuffle.com
Here at TruffleShuffle.com, we get regular emails from yummy mummies-to-be wanting to know whether we have a range of maternity tees to accommodate their growing bumps.
While we don't have a specific range of maternity wear as yet - thanks to a baby boom here at Truffle Towers - we've realised that tonnes of our Tees and Clothing work brilliantly even when you are pregnant so we couldn't resist giving you a sneak peek into the TruffleShuffle teams maternity wardrobe to give you guys some tips on how to make the most of all our amazing retro gear when you're pregnant!
Our new range of fun and funky pullovers and sweaters are proving to be very popular maternity wear for the growing bumps in our offices. When it comes to shopping for maternity clothes, mums to be know that affordability, practicality and comfort are key and even at 6 months pregnant, I'm still finding my Jem pullover super comfy (it's composed of a super soft and stretchy cotton - ideal for wrapping around your sensitive tummy.)
I'm normally a UK size 10 so would usually buy a size small but by going for a size large, I reckon this will do me right through to the end of my pregnancy quite easily. They sit really nice and long on the body so there's lots of room to accommodate you as you grow and the best thing is - I know I'll still get loads of wear out of it when the baby is born because a girl can never have too many slouchy sweaters - in fact it will be perfect for layering when the winter months draw in!
With a huge range of fun prints on offer, shop our full range of retro pullovers here - all of which are available up to a UK size 20! Just remember - as you get further through your pregnancy you can always buy a size or two up from what you normally would to accommodate your growing bump!

British streetwear brand Addict launches at TruffleShuffle!
Addict (edikt'; for n. ad'ikt) vt. To give (oneself) up (to some strong habit).1. one addicted, esp.to a past time 2. a person devoted to something -addic'tion n. - addic'tive adj.
Starting life as a menswear label in 1996, Addict has developed a signature style of streetwear that blends classic casual wear with the performance, quality and functionality of high spec outerwear. The brand has over a decade's worth of heritage in the streetwear genre, its roots run deep in the design, music and board sports communities crossing over both to the underground and mainstream alike since birth. Long a favourite of the freesports fraternity, Addict is much more than your common or garden clothing range. Despite the rapid growth in popularity and distribution over the years, Addict has a tight, focused team of individuals who are intensely passionate about the brand and keep a tight reign over its development, producing all clothing, graphics and media for the mainline in-house, focusing on product development, letting the brand evolve naturally rather than bending to fit in with fashion.
Addict regularly work with and support a collection of independent highly sought after artists and illustrators on the more limited edition 'artist series' ranges. A reflection of their general company ethos, the artists and designers Addict work with are sourced mainly on a social basis. The limited edition artist series tees and related products have seen Addict working with a plethora of contemporary talent including long time collaborators She One, C-Law, Mitch and Swifty, Mode 2, Jimi Crayon, Ben Swift, Guy Featherstone, Shogunâ¢, Will Barras, Mr Jago, and Steff Pleatz to name but a few.
Launching this week of TruffleShuffle is our first drop of tees from their much anticipated instalment of Addict X Star Wars tees, featuring art from long time Addict collaborator Mitchy Bwoy. Staying true & accurate to the originalStar Wars designs from the Star Wars Trilogy, this collection of tees show Mitchâs unique, highly detailed, hand drawn vector style which he mixes with a keen colour sense and a healthy dose of ink and spray paint to lethal effect.
âBrought up in the Shires of the North of England, Mitchâs fascination with design and illustration was initiated by a love of comics and the Star Wars phenomenon. His first true influence was Ralph McQuarrie (Star Warsâ chief illustrator) and, much do the disapproval of various art teachers, he spent most of his early years in the realms of fantasy art and graffiti. Concentrating on what he calls âhip hop surrealismâ during his design degree, Mitch spent his final degree year working at Swiftyâs London studio. As Mitch was already a huge fan of Swiftyâs work for Mo Wax and Straight No Chaser magazine, this was a logical progression and served as a valuable apprenticeship. Working from his own London studio over the last 10 years, Mitch has carved his own niche not only in music cover design but also in illustration, fashion and more recently, video production. His work has become synonymous with new music and club culture, working alongside the most prominent musicians of the last decade, including; Amp Fiddler, Bugz in the Attic, Incognito, The Bees, Howie B and many others. In addition, Mitch has worked on many special projects, live paints and collaborations with other artists; 55 Roots for 55 DSL (live paint and group art show with Dragon and Shibuya from Japan), Bacardi brand development (with Mode 2) and Black Twang/We Love You album projects (with Banksy). His reputation has also led to his inclusion in numerous art shows, such as; the Art Basel/ Miami (alongside Doze Green, Swoon, Rostar), Candela Festival/Puerto Rico (with Swifty, Mode 2 and HVW8) and Board / London (with Jamie Hewlett and Pete Fowler).â His series of inter galactic Star Wars designs pay homage to the timeless quality of the original designs featured in the original films released over 30 years ago...

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.
