[For immediate release]

To celebrate the launch of Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmegeddon, TruffleShuffle have ‘spiced up’ the 90’s mini-backpack.

BRISTOL, November 4, 2019 - In the 90’s amongst a backdrop of mini-backpacks, patches and scrunchies, Aardman’s Shaun the Sheep bag became prominent when Spice Girl Emma Bunton was snapped with her very own. The cute wooly backpack instantly became a must-have accessory and a 90s fashion gem. So, to celebrate the release of the new Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon, Aardman and retro brand TruffleShuffle have faithfully recreated a limited edition run of the iconic bag and it’s looking baaaaarilliant!

About The Shaun The Sheep Backpack

One of Aardman’s best-loved characters, Shaun first appeared in the Wallace and Gromit film ‘A Close Shave’ back in 1995 and has been a family favourite ever since.

No strangers to rediscovering nostalgic fashion trends Truffleshuffle were behind the relaunch of Mattel’s cult Polly Pocket Bag. Aardman told us “Truffleshuffle are an official licensee for Wallace and Gromit and have a strong Instagram presence, so when they approached Aardman about re-creating the original Shaun The Sheep backpack, we knew they would be a great partner for the product”.

If you were ever part of the nineties craze or just fans of the popular animated character, this wonderfully nostalgic Shaun The Sheep backpack will have your whole family bleating with joy!
