📜 The Story Behind the Print: 'Strawberry Thief'

First registered in 1883, Strawberry Thief remains one of the most beloved British fabric designs in the world. William Morris famously created this pattern after watching cheeky thrushes steal ripe strawberries from his kitchen garden at his beloved countryside home, Kelmscott Manor, in Oxfordshire. The flattened profiles of the birds and the intricate stylisation of the foliage also highlight Morris's deep appreciation for traditional Islamic art and pattern-making.
