🎵 A crazy idea in my head...

I had always had this idea about getting The One Hersh to handwrite things, and I'm still a little blown away that she actually said yes. So this thing that started as a crazy idea in my head, finally came out into the world... and it really has been a beautiful thing.🖤

🎨 It actually happened!

In London on April 27th, 2024, The One Kristin Hersh actually wrote all the custom lyric shirts for people, and, because I don't like exceptionalism, in anything, I asked her to do some extra lyrics, that I could make into standard prints for everyone... and because I seriously can't be trusted to choose for people (First one I thought was "Street puke's not your fault"😅) I asked people, across my social media, what they wanted. So these are what the people asked for. This one is from the song "Spring" from the amazing Kristin Hersh album "Sky Motel". These handwritten "TM font" lyrics were written especially for us to bring you these shirts, they are only available from ElRat Designs.

Every Hersh purchase directly funds Kristin Hersh studio time, helping to keep her in the studio where she belongs.

📏 Music is for everyone, and merch should be too

At ElRat Designs, I want as many people as possible to be able to support the things they love. That's why we print every size up to 6XL - because every one deserves to wear their art.

Excellent work!

These shirts are really cool and I’m supporting the artist. I love. Hoping to buy more soon. Lots of extra perks with each package as well with cool prints and pins. Be the strange!

Thank you for your kindness! I'm pleased that you're happy with your shirt, I really hope you have fun at the Throwing Muses Show in NYC, Say hello to any other ElRat shirts you see for me! El

Another beautiful shirt

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

Awesome and unique tee

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

Top quality merch!

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
