The History Behind the Print: 'Strawberry Thief'
Designed in 1883, Strawberry Thief remains one of the most iconic and beloved British textile designs in history. William Morris was inspired to create the pattern after watching thrushes cheekily steal strawberries from the kitchen garden of his countryside home, Kelmscott Manor in Oxfordshire. The flattened profile of the birds and the beautiful stylisation of the foliage highlight Morris's deep appreciation and brilliant adaptation of historical Islamic tile designs.
