TruffleShuffle X Japan: Our Top Kawaii Clothing and Accessories!

If there's one thing we can say with certainty here at Truffle Towers, it's that Kawaii clothing and accessories have totally taken the site by storm and is shaping up to become a bigger deal than ever!

Over the last year, maybe even more, we've been slowly adding to our collection of Japanese Kawaii inspired designs including some exclusive Studio Ghibli clothing and super popular Polly Pocket bags and accessories. These have all quickly become some of our most-loved items and we're sure they will be around for a long while yet!

Not in the loop? Originating from Japan, Kawaii (translated as 'cute' in Japanese) is a style that follows strong themes from anime and manga and is typically styled as bright, pastel colours promoting innocence and being totally loveable. What's not to love about that?

Getting ourselves totally stuck into this cult sensation, we've created and collected some totally stunning Kawaii merchandise including some of our top picks below. Take a peep!

My "Gift ideas for 80s kids" list!

When it comes to finding that perfect gift for either friends, relatives or that someone special, one thing's for sure (well for me) it can be a bit of a challenge to get it right. I seem to find myself shopping for things that I know I like instead of what the 'giftee' would actually want, surely I'm not the only one!?

Well to make that sometimes daunting challenge just that little bit easier and way more fun than rushing from shop to shop on a quest (maybe just a guy thing) I've put together a shortlist of some of my top retro gifts for 80's kids! Enjoy.

Up first is one of the coolest iPhone cases we've ever seen! This retro Gameboy iPhone 4 case sends memories flooding back of 'well spent' hours of Gameboy action back in the day before we'd even heard of 3D, HD, LCD and everything else D! This is a real gamers gift that'll keep the memories alive every time they reach for their phone.Check out the full range of iPhone cases here.

Surely no self respecting kid in the 80s would have gone their whole life without owning at least one Casio watch?! The iconic symbol of retro, this trusty timepiece is one of the biggest must-have accessories for someone who lived in the 80s. I must admit, i wear this one every day and it's still a winner. Available in a variety of colours and styles, check out our complete Casio collection here.
