Look who's headlining this week at TruffleShuffle!
If you're not already familiar with the brand Chaser LA - let us fill you in on their awesomeness when it comes to band t-shirts. Founded in 1988, the boutique brand Chaser LA perfectly embodies the cutting-edge, rock star style of Los Angeles. With great music at its soul, it takes amazing quality t-shirts which have been treated to custom vintage washes and tops them off with iconic band and music imagery. If you don't want to take our word for it - check out the TruffleShuffle celebrity gallery where you'll see a whole range of celebrities rocking out to the tune of Chaser LA!
We've had a few exciting additions to our existing collection of rock t-shirts...so definitely had to share them with you!
We simply adore this new Megadeth slouch tee from Chaser LA. With the cool loose fit and shirt tail styling at the hem, this top is bang on trend - like we'd expect anything less?

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!
So, what's new...
We like to keep you all on your toes, launching exciting new brands and products every week and so I am blogging today about some of the fabulous NEW additions to our site so you can stay in the loop.
Fans of The Hills will appreciate this fabulous celeb spot of Whitney Port in our gorgeous Journey Hits boxy tee from premium US brand Chaser LA. This is a great shape for any dedicated followers of fashion with it's over-sized, shorter fit and vintage distressed print. It is also a fab find for any appreciators of 80's rock and the cult anthem 'Don't Stop Believing'.
Another great range to shout about is the brand new Junk Food Muppets tees! These US made tees come in luxurious jersey blends, with aged prints and washes to give them an authentic vintage look and feel. Here are a few of our favourites but you can check out all Muppets tees here.
Bread and Butter January 2012 - The Buyer Experience
We love Bread and Butter! Every year after Christmas when everyone else is feeling gloomy, Claire and I get all excited about the trip to Berlin where we see new and existing fashion brands showcased at the wonderful Bread And Butter trade show. It's a great opportunity to catch up with familiar faces and meet tons of new ones too and this time we had the added bonus of our lovely colleague James' company!
It's an early start, heading off from Bristol, Heathrow bound, at the un-godly hour of 3am. A couple of bleary eyed hours later, we found ourselves seated ready for some top nosh breakfast at Gordon Ramsey's Plane Food restaurant at terminal 5 (the best terminal by far). This always deserves a mention, my Eggs Florentine was a vision to behold and tasted pretty good too.
Then it was off to Bread and Butter which is housed in the magnificent (now de-funct) Templehof Airport. With all the original signs, luggage conveyor belts and check in desks intact, it really is a breathtaking venue.
Frantically weaving our way through the crowds, we got to drop by Chunk, Coloud and Worn By 's stands (as well as many more) where we got a sneak preview of the up-coming lines for 2012. And we can tell you, there is a lot to look forward to! We also spotted some exciting new brands here which we can't wait to start working with this year.
Minnie Mawi Looking Fabulous At London Fashion Week!
Claire and I were very lucky darlings indeed last Friday when we crossed the West-East divide, teetering our way over to London hot on the heels of the fash pack on route to London Fashion Week. After a quick stop off at the Chaser LA showrooms, where we saw some pretty amazing new collections due over the coming months and new year (keep your eyes peeled) we headed over to the Strand and Somerset House. We have been drooling over the Minnie Mawi collection for Disney Couture over the past couple of weeks here at Truffle Towers so it was very exciting to go and see all the stunning up and coming pieces at the Fashion Week exhibition. We were met by the lovely Sandra and Lisette, who looked very at home in the uber fashionable surroundings. I managed to get a few snaps whilst I was there...
After taking a tour around, seeing some stunning new brands showcasing their latest collections, stopping for coffees and people watching, I scampered off, Hoxton-bound for some fun times and slightly dodgy 90's rave dancing flaunting my new favourite thing, my Ivory Pearl Minnie Mawi Bib Necklace!
Buyers, Breakfast, Berlin and Bread & Butter - An Inspired Trip
Last Thursday, alarm clocks set at 3am (yes, that's right) us TruffleShuffle buyers, hazily awoke from our slumbers and prepared ourselves for a long day of trade show fun. The destination, Bread & Butter in Berlin. This is where we head for a bi-annual buying trip, a place to meet up with existing suppliers for a chin-wag and view of the new collections for 2011. It's also a fab opportunity to source new ranges and expand our current supplier base as we are always super keen to introduce new exciting brands and product to the site.
Upon arriving at Heathrow, the first thing on our minds was BREKKIE! We needed some serious fuel for the day ahead and some kind of a feast to keep us awake and perky! After checking in, we swiftly made our way to Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food restaurant and one Eggs Norwegian, one full English, one Pancakes with banana, two apple juices and two coffees later we were ready to go!
Taking off at 7.05am, we flew high above the clouds and took in the most stunning sun rise; some more coffees and a little nap later, we had arrived! Set in the amazing old Tempelhof airport, Bread & Butter attracts buyers from all over the world and is a showcase for major brands such as Replay and Superdry as well as smaller up and coming brands.
