Meet the Minds Behind Rat-Ryder
At the heart of Rat-Ryder is a powerhouse duo: Emmylou and Smurf—partners in creativity, chaos, and all things wonderfully weird.
Emmylou, the design wizard and chaos conductor, is the mastermind behind every stitch, print, and pixel. Her creative spark fuels Rat-Ryder’s unique, edgy designs, with each piece crafted from a love of the eccentric (and a solid dose of caffeine).
Right alongside her is Smurf, the meme maestro and logistics guru. Whether managing operations, brainstorming the next big idea, or keeping the wheels turning (sometimes literally—sidecar life!), Smurf’s resourcefulness and humor make him an essential part of the magic.
But Rat-Ryder isn’t just about creating awesome merch for their website (although they’ve mastered that, too). They’re also the sole worldwide distributor for AwoL merch—a badge of honor that reflects their reputation for quality and style.
And it doesn’t stop there! Rat-Ryder has proudly designed custom merch for:
- Isolation Chopperz
- Scotland’s Numb Bum and Sere Erse Challenge
- Various pubs, businesses, and bike clubs across the UK
Together, Emmylou and Smurf have built Rat-Ryder into something much bigger than a brand—it’s a creative community powered by passion, humor, and a shared love of all things bold and bizarre.
So whether you’re rocking an original Rat-Ryder design or repping AwoL, know that every piece has been crafted with heart, a dash of madness, and a whole lot of love.
Stay wild, stay weird, and ride on! 🐀
