Hand-drawn, not templated: the Back To School Shirt is an original rat tee for anyone who knows the school year a little too well.
Who the Back To School Shirt is for
This one is aimed squarely at anyone who studied hard and retained nothing. It sits in the School part of the collection, alongside the other designs about the school year.
Wearing and using it
It's a premium unisex tee, so the fit is relaxed rather than fitted, and it layers under a flannel or jacket without bunching. Sizes run XS–5XL.
As a gift
As a gift it works because it's specific. A generic present says you needed to buy something; a design about the school year says you were paying attention.
From the listing
Back to school shirt for students, school supply lovers, and anyone starting the year with too many notebooks, pencils, papers, and chaotic plans. This funny rat graphic tee features a scruffy storybook rat carrying school supplies with nervous student energy.
This design is for the student who packs every notebook, every pencil, every folder, and somehow still feels like something important is missing. The rat looks overloaded, slightly confused, and painfully relatable — ready for school, but not emotionally prepared.
Perfect gift for students, classmates, college students, back-to-school shoppers, school friends, study buddies, stationery lovers, teachers with a sense of humor, and anyone who loves funny school-themed graphic tees.
The artwork keeps our chaotic storybook rat DNA: scruffy grey fur, oversized ears, pink nose, long tail, anxious eyes, messy whiskers, stacked notebooks, loose papers, colorful pencils, and an overpacked school bag. Not a cute mascot — a relatable little school rat trying to survive the first day.

It's made for the classroom, the dorm and the library. The humor is self-directed rather than aimed at anyone, which is why it works both as something you buy for yourself and as a gift.
What sizes does the Back To School Shirt come in?
Sizes XS–5XL. Every design in the collection runs the full range rather than stopping at XL, so there's no separate plus-size selection to hunt through.
What is it made from?
A premium unisex tee in Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, DTG printed so the artwork sits in the fabric rather than on top of it. Available in black or white.
How much is the Back To School Shirt?
From £17.50, depending on size. It's printed to order, and shipping is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address.
Is the artwork original?
Yes — every character starts as a hand-drawn sketch by ArtDesignByNora, in a vintage ink and watercolor style. Nothing in the shop uses templates, stock graphics or clip art.
