A WEBSITE in the US has sparked fury after they started selling clothes, pillows and even iPhone cases with Myra Hindley's face on.
Society6 is flogging the items adorned with the Moors murder's image with a portion of the cash from each payment going to the artist.
Fashion designer and illustrator Paul Nelson-Esch has previously designed works featuring singers Bjork, Johnny Cash, Freddie Mercury and Debbie Harry as well as tennis ace Roger Federer.
The child killer infamously lured five kids to their deaths in the 1960s with the help of Ian Brady and buried their bodies on Saddleworth Moor in the Pennines.
Hindley and Brady murdered Edward Evans, Lesley Ann Downey, John Kilbride, Pauline Reade and Keith between 1963 and 1965.
They were convicted in May 1966.
Mum-of-one Amelia Barker from Tameside, Greater Manchester was horrified to find the products online and posted details on social media.
The 23-year-old told the Manchester Evening News: "It's disgusting. I hope none of the family members of her victims see it.
"I'm originally from Hattersley and my great nanna knew Myra's mum.
It's still raw for the people who live there - that something so terrible happened on their doorstep."
Furious customers have been leaving their views on the seller's website, equally outraged by the design.
One says: "You would seriously sell a T-shirt with a child murderer on it? Really??"
Another adds: "This is abhorrent. And featuring a child murderer in your range alongside artists like Winehouse and Bjork shows such an extreme lack of humanity and awareness that it is almost comical. Almost. What it actually is, is thoroughly disgusting.
"I'm not arguing the ethics of art, it's a fine portrait and well rendered - I'm arguing the ethics of putting Myra Hindley on sale as something to wear to express your personality.
"Her victims' families are still alive, who in their right mind finds her aspirational enough to put on a T-shirt let alone buy and wear it around.
"If I were to see a person wearing this, I would have absolutely no hesitation in telling them to their face that they are a waste of atoms. Foul play."
The Sun has contacted Mr Nelson-Esch for a comment.
