About the artwork

"Strawberry Thief" was designed in 1883 and became one of Morris & Co.'s most popular fabrics. The pattern shows birds reaching for strawberries among flowers and leaves, all arranged in a symmetrical repeat. Morris used an indigo discharge printing method that was difficult and time-consuming but produced uniquely rich colors. The pattern has stayed in production ever since -- proof of how something playful can also be timeless.

Details

Thrushes stealing strawberries from the garden -- Morris spotted this scene from his kitchen window at Kelmscott Manor and turned it into one of the most famous textile patterns ever made. This tote bag carries that playful design on cotton canvas built for everyday use.
