I can't speak highly enough of El and her products. I purchased one of her t-shirts at a gig and then subsequently got in touch with her to query something after finding her website. El has been friendly, professional, and above all, helpful every step of the way. The products are of the highest quality and I can honestly say she has provided the best customer service I've ever experienced. El clearly cares about what she is doing and about her customers. Even the packaging was a pleasure - delivered quickly, carefully wrapped and with a couple of bonus items.
If you're in the market for any Throwing Muses/Kristin Hersh-related items, then please support El.
I have bought several t-shirts now. They are all great quality, the printing is excellent and they hold their shape after washing. ElRat Designs - always great to deal with and delivery is very prompt...
Rapid delivery,Quality soft black cotton,Stylish hand written Pearl designs front & back,impeccable customer care,Thankyou ElRat Designs !
Thank you, as always for your support. I really love how this one came out, the 'Black Pearl' in Pearl on Black is so perfectly agreeable, and I'm so happy that you like it. Thank you, El
I’m very happy with my purchase. It looks great and it’s very comfortable.
I am pleased you like it, yours is the only 1 in that colour in the world right now, apart from my own. Thank you so much for your support! EL
If you want unique Merch then look no further. I love that I get to choose every aspect of my tee. Combination of image, colour and placement are all available at the click of a button. I'm a size 5xl so it's not even an option with most artists' Merch who order in bulk and only sell tiny sizes. Kristin Hersh is one of a kind and I love that my tees are unique as well. The proof of the purchase is in where we put our money and I am a return customer (4th tee shirt and more planned). Consistently great quality and an excellent service. The best part is that by supporting a small business you know that this will also directly fund studio time for such an incredible artist.
Thank you, again for your support! I love seeing the colour/print choices you make, so many amazing combos I never would have thought of. They all looks fantastic. It makes me genuinely happy to make these things for people, and I am humbled to be able to help us all keep KH in the studio where she belongs.
With consultation, Elrat Designs can always guarantee to steer you in the right direction when it comes to choosing the best colours, sizes and designs. This is the case with this t-shirt. I love it. Thanks El.
Thank you! For being a part of the ElRat story, and helping keep KH in the studio where she belongs. I'm always grateful that people buy my things at all, and more than anything I want you to be happy. Hope to see you at a gig again in the future! El
Great price, super fast service and lots of unexpected extra goodies!
Great quality Tees as well ❤️
Thank you, for your kindness, and for helping support Kristin Hersh Studio time. I'm glad you liked your shirt, the little extras are a small thank you, for choosing to become a part of the ElRat Designs story. El
If like me, you want merch but are a size 6xl, you have probably given up. I know I had.
Imagine my joy when I realised El Rat offers a bespoke service at every size. You get to choose t shirt type (there are options!!!), design, colour placement and those are just the easy one click choices. If you need anything more specific (hard to imagine what more you could want, but hey ho) then El lives to make her customers happy. I've never had such a rewarding shopping experience. It made me feel central to the process, an individual, not just a number. The divine tee arrived really quickly, every stage communicated effectively, and boy oh boy what a delicious parcel. I don't do those cringe unboxing videos but I squeaked with delight, (quite embarrassing). Won't spoil the surprises for you, but it's over and above. Worth every penny. This is my third tee shirt, and my favourite. Would recommend to anyone and I will definitely be shopping again.
Thank you so much for your kindness. I am grateful that anyone chooses to buy from ElRat Designs, and I send packages that I hope will show people how much I appreciate it. Offering inclusive size options seems so necassary, and because I print to order, there's no reason that everyone can't have the same choices. Thank you, for being a part of the planet ElRat story, and for helping to keep kristin Hersh in the studio, making more of that music that we all need. El
Love the T-shirt ,nice quality.Returned and x-large for a large and the communication was very good 👍
Thank you for your kind review, I'm pleased the Large was a good fit, maybe I'll see it again at a KH gig one day.
Elrat's work is exceptional - I'd definitely recommend!

Pleased you like it, so grateful for your support, it really does mean a lot. El
Thank you very much, I really like the Kristin Hersh T-shirt from El Rat Designs. Very friendly customer service, and I highly recommend El.
Thank you, for your kind words, and for being one of us. It makes me very happy to send things to fellow Strange Angels, your support is very much appreciated!!! El
Love the design, colour and softness of the material. It's quickly become a favourite. Great to know it helps support Kristin too
Was great to meet you at the show, very pleased that you like it! Thank you for your support, it means a lot to me, and I know it means a lot to KH too! El
This time I chose a t-shirt with hand written lyrics by Kristin Hersh to her song "Your Ghost."
Again, a top quality, beautiful shirt reflecting the high standard and beauty of the music that inspired it. Words are in white on a gorgeous, soft, black and purple tie dye garment.
Thanks again, ElRat!
Thank you! I honestly feel honoured to be able to offer these handwritten shirts. I had the idea in my head for so long, and I took months to build up to ask her if she wanted to do it... but she didnt hesitate... said yes immediately, and really has been so generous with her time. We are lucky to have her on board, and I'm so happy that you like it, Thank *you* again! El
What can I say about ordering from Elrat her service and communication from start to finish was absolutely incredible from ordering to receiving my order also felt that I have a new friend to will definitely be ordering in the future
Thank you, for your kindness! It really means a lot to me! I want ElRat Designs to be more than a shop, I want it to feel like community, like those old indie record shops that I used to hang around in back in the 90s, where you could get a cuppa and talk with the regulars about life, the universe and everything. Thank you, for being one of us! El
Perfect. Exactly what I wanted.
That's what I like to hear! Thank you for choosing ElRat Designs. Your design really did look amazing! El
After getting a flyer at the Throwing Muses gig I took a look at tge website and found a brilliant array of gorgeous items but this tee really caught my eye so I had to make it mine. Great fit, looks good and made me smile.
Oh Wow, This made me smile too!! It's looks amazing on you! Thank you so much for taking my flyer, writing this kind review, and giving this shirt its perfect home. Your support really means a lot to me, and I know it does to KH too. Hopefully I'll see this again at a gig, next time she's on tour. El
We ordered a couple of t-shirts after seeing Throwing Muses in Liverpool and meeting the friendly merch people there. (We bought shirts and badges at the gig, too!)
The quality of these tie dye shirts is wonderful and does justice to the high standard of everything Kristin Hersh does!
We are impressed with the choice of sizes available, too (up to 6XL, I believe?!)
The material of all the shirts is lovely and soft.
I have to mention the packaging, too. The merch came neatly folded in colourful crepe paper with custom labels and special cards and flyers. Such a nice, personal touch!
I ordered a badge which I wished I'd bought at the gig and I'm glad I've got one now. It reads "Kristin F---in' Hersh" (but not censored!)
Too cool!
ElRat designs offers the best possible merch and service, appropriate for the great and inspirational talent of The One Hersh!
It's great that the proceeds go towards studio time, too!
Thank you so much for your kind review. I'm so happy that you like your shirts. It was great talking to you at the Liverpool gig, hopefully see you at another one soon. We try to be as inclusive as possible with our size options, up to 6XL, because music is for everyone, and merch should be too. Hersh people deserve good things, and so does The One Hersh. I always try to send packages I would like to receive, people work hard for their money, and it's the least I can do, to show my appreciation for the trust they place in me, and their contribution towards more studio time for KH and more music for us all. El
Feels that little bit more genuine buying from someone who supports Kristen’s philosophy on music and life in general. Great product , I’ll wear it with pride knowing the appreciation and authenticity that produced it.
Thank you so much for your kind review. The support of real Hersh Listeners means everything to me, and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to help people support her work. You are amazing! El
