Fancy winning a £50 gift voucher to spend at TruffleShuffle?
It's that time again! With the end of the month approaching - we are giving one lucky customer a £50 gift voucher to spend at TruffleShuffle.
'What do I have to do?' WELL! It couldn't be easier! We need awesome reviews of awesome t-shirts, by awesome people (That's where you come in!)
If you head over to TruffleShuffle and choose the latest cool t-shirts that you have purchased - and leave a review, we will then choose our favourite review on the 1st of September.
Last months winner, amused us with his outstanding review of our Ramones t-shirt.
''so? being a middle age old punk, Ramones T-Shirts are required by law for us.but since the evil rulers off the world at primark have cottoned on to this we find ourselves in a ethically difficult position and ill fitting Ramones jumpers, along with some berk called Steve with a wonky eye who thought "HEY HO LETS GO" was larry graysons catch phrase. ....until truffle shuffle.. not only did the thing arrive in about the time billy butter fingers here could press the "confirm payment button" button but the quality was excellent. the design its self is a rare find too(important when your down the front, in a mass of old bald blokes all wearing the same t-shirt!) the cruel irony about getting older is as your hair gets thinner,the rest of you gets thicker and it was unfortunately a bit snug,my fault entirely,not truffles. after a quick begging letter Amy was soon in contact,she didn't swear at me once and sorted out a larger size for me straight away with no hassles... if Amy is like her customer service skills in real life? then i suspect shes a heart breaker! ;) replacement fits perfectly and arrived as fast as the first and already my best mate has called me some choice names cos he doesn't have one! great company,great service (a rare find), great T-shirt! thank you muchly. ps, nearly forgot!....SWEETS!...there were sweets in the bag! i kid you not, didn't ask for any but got em anyway! Jesus its worth it just for the sweets!....SWEETS MAN!...whats not to like?''

Girls on Bikes....
UK artist / designer INSA's infamous âGirls on Bikesâ art project has become fashion thanks to Addict t-shirts.
The âGirls on Bikesâ photo series has appeared all over fashion, lifestyle and cycling blogs already, but now you can actually own a little part of it thanks to Addict and the release of this biketastic tshirt series.
If like me, you love graffiti / street art, bikes and beautiful ladies you will love these t-shirts. There are three designs available in total - Layla, Emily and Vicky. They feature color matched collars and sleeve stitching alongside a soft touch water based photo print and co Addict x Insa branding on each sleeve.
'See No Evil' Bristol Street Art Event 2012
Loving a good piece of design (typically on a humble t-shirt) and always looking for any excuse to get out and about in the sun, last weekend saw this TruffleShuffler exploring the Bristol's latest See No Evil street art event on Nelson street and what a treat it was!
Bringing together some of the most loved and well respected artists from around the globe, this annual event gives them the chance to really do their thing and bring the once bog standard street to life with some stunning pieces.
A total of 40 urban artists, including Mr Jago, Flying Fortress, Nychos and Mark Bode, have used 3,500 spray cans to create their masterpieces on the streets. The event is said to be largest street project in the UK and last year projectors were brought in to help artists create graffiti on buildings up to a neck craning 10 storeys high!
The four day long event featured a New York style bloc party with music and dancers as well as many live performances through the days which really had the city buzzing with life.
Take a look at some of the snaps we took of the event...
TruffleShuffle - putting the 'Tee' in VinTage!
TruffleShuffle has definitely become the most popular hot spot for Vintage T-shirts, so we've put together some of our favourite styles for you.
Our exclusive range takes all of your favourite cartoons, films, bands, games and icons - and creates a garment which is brand new with a retro feel.
Our TruffleShuffle t-shirts and sweaters usually have a slightly distressed image which gives your t-shirts the 'straight out of the 80's feel'.
Some of our favourites are below!
Next up are is Chaser L.A - providing a range of licensed music t-shirts, which look like they've been rescued from the 80's and given a touch a glam! Some of our Chaser L.A t-shirts come with intentionally destroyed fabric - for that perfect rock chick look!
