Return to the Goblin City, our new Labyrinth collection!
Itâs 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. Itâs something weâve 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. Weâve been tweaking and perfecting this collection over the last few months so itâs been such a great feeling to finally unleash the tees to all you TruffleShufflers and we are so happy with the fantastic response theyâve 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 80âs 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 impressionâ¦) 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 belowâ¦.
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 âEllo!â
Although we knew you guys loved the worm as much as we did, even we were surprised by just how much â 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!
For All Your Bits And Bows Needs!
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.
Lovingly hand-crafted in England and inspired by nostalgic trinkets, charms, treats and childhood memories, Bits and Bows jewellery offers extra special and individual pieces sure to delight you as much as it did us Shufflers!
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?
Me love cookie (Cookie Monster that is!)
Although Sesame Street spawned a tonne of my favourite childhood characters, it was Cookie Monster who ruled my heart as a kid growing up!
Yes - Elmo was adorable and I was partial to a bit of learning to Count with The Count but for me, the connoisseur de crumbs was my absolute fave! With his deep, growly voice, and childlike chatter (Me want cookie!) even as a grown up, I can't seem to resist that bright blue fur and trademark googly eyes!
As his name implies, Cookie Monster just loves cookies (donât we all!) and can usually be found munching away on his favourite treats (OMM-nom-nom-nom...) but luckilly for me, he's also taken time out of his hectic shcedule to star on some of our official Sesame Street Tees!
The perfect way for us grown ups to pay tribute to the voracious monster, check out some of our exclusive designs below....

The day our all our Truffle Shuffle-ing dreams came true!
So for those of you who don't know, here at TruffleShuffle.com, we're named after the one and only TruffleShuffledance, as performed by the incomparable Chunk from The Goonies.......
Yes, our founder loved the iconic movie so much that when it came to coming up for a name for the site back in 2004, Chunk's classic belly shaking move was the only choice and hence TruffleShuffle.com was born.
With that in mind, you can imagine our absolute amazement to discover that none other than Jeff B Cohen AKA the man who played Chunk over 25 years ago is following us on twitter!
MENTAL!
We've even tweeted each other and were completely honoured to send him some of our official Goonies tees including this one of course....
Retro Toys And Tea-Time Treats From Punky Allsort
We were left positively drooling at these new arrivals from the super-sweet brand Punky Allsorts! Lovingly hand-made, just like mama's fairy-cakes, these utterly scrumptious delights are the perfect pick-me-up treat (and completely calorie free!)
And, just when we thought it couldn't get any better, these absolutely gorgeous and nostalgic goodies turned up! How we loved building castles from Lego and practicing our Care Bear stares back when we were little!
