Return to the Goblin City, our new Labyrinth collection!

It’s been an exciting week here at Truffle Towers, mainly thanks to the long awaited launch of our brand new, official and exclusive range of Labyrinth T-shirts. It’s something we’ve wanted to be able to represent on the site for what feels like years so getting the opportunity to work closely with the amazing Jim Henson Company to create our very own tribute range has been totally awesome in every way. We’ve been tweaking and perfecting this collection over the last few months so it’s been such a great feeling to finally unleash the tees to all you TruffleShufflers and we are so happy with the fantastic response they’ve all received!

As one of the designers of the range, it was a great experience to return to the fantastical world of the Goblin City and really get under the skin of one of the all-time ultimate 80’s classics! We started with David Bowie and his genius turn as the Goblin King Jareth and we were of course inspired by his outrageous fashion (those skin tight leggings made a particularly big impression…) and the ultra catchy song from the film (Dance Magic Dance!). After playing with lots of ideas, we plumped for a really cool flyer style design for what would clearly be the coolest club night in the world! Check it out below….

We also had to feature Ludo, the bumbling best friend we wish we all had, and of course that cute cheeky worm who was always around to say “Ello!”

Although we knew you guys loved the worm as much as we did, even we were surprised by just how much – this design pretty much sold out after 24 hours on the site and has even been snapped up by the fabulous Una Healy from The Saturdays who even tweeted a pic of her wearing it!

There is always great excitement when a new delivery arrives at Truffle Towers and this is especially the case when a new delivery of beautiful jewellery lands in our warehouse! This week saw the arrival of the oh so pretty, sparkly and cute range from new brand Bits and Bows.

The collection includes necklaces, bracelets, rings and hair clips so there is something for everyone. With some very realistic looking sweetie pieces you will have to careful someone doesn't try and take a bite when you are wearing the Flump, Milk Bottle and Shrimp Charm Bracelet!

If a sweet treat is not your style then perhaps something from the London's Calling collection would be a way to add a splash of colour to your outfit. You can choose to adorn your neck with a Black Cab, Red London Bus, Red Telephone Box or Red Postbox - which will it be?

Bert and Ernie will not marry!

While catching up on all the news this week TruffleShuffle spotted an amusing story about two of our favourite Sesame Street characters and just had to share it with you! Sesame Street makers have confirmed that Bert and Ernie, best friends forever will not be getting married as was hoped by fans.

The odd pair first appeared on our screens in 1969 with the intention of teaching children that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Despite numerous campaigns and petitions calling for the couple to get married the Sesame Street show makers have decided that the duo shall remain very good friends!

For now the quirky characters including other Sesame Street friends Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar The Grouch and The Count will continue to entertain 120 million viewers across 140 countries, pretty impressive we think.

With such a huge fan base we thought we would introduce our amazing new collaboration with Sesame Street! Exclusive to TruffleShuffle, each limited edition design has been inspired by old school music iconography for the ultimate in 'Street' fashion. Available in both men's and ladies sizes, which one spins your decks?

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street......?!

YOU EEDIOT!!

There was an air of happy happy joy joy when we heard Chunk were doing a range of Ren and Stimpy tees. To celebrate here’s a cocktail of moments to remind you of the intense, sometimes gross comedy of the psychotic Chihuahua Ren and his dim witted life partner Stimpy.

I can’t believe we got to watch this as kids, the twisted, disturbing and most of the time disgusting humor of Ren and Stimpy is firmly lodged in the nasal cavity of our generations subconscious mind!

If you remember any gross out Ren and Stimpy moments be sure to let us know and don’t forget to cast your grubby eyes over our new Chunk range of Ren and Stimpy tees including the especially for us, exclusive ladies designs!
