Strawberry Thief
One of William Morris's most iconic and enduring textile designs, Strawberry Thief draws inspiration from thrushes stealing fruit in the kitchen garden of his Oxfordshire home, Kelmscott Manor. Created using the intricate indigo dye textile printingmethod, which Morris greatly admired, he first experimented with this technique in 1875. However, it wasn’t until 1881, after moving to his factory at Merton Abbey, near Wimbledon, that he perfected the process.
