William Morris’s Strawberry Thief birds adorn this large, powder blue, embroidered velvet pouch. A useful and beautiful accessory, it makes a delightful gift for nature lovers.

Embellished with embroidered thrushes, strawberries and metallic gold detailing. The simple purse design has a vegan leather zip pull and water resistant, rose pink lining.

Measures W31 x H21 x D4.5cm. The perfect size for beauty essentials for a weekend away.

William Morris’s iconic Strawberry Thief design was inspired by the thrushes that used to steal the fruit from the artist’s garden at his home, Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire, England.

William Morris At Home is a partnership with the not-for-profit William Morris Gallery. Every purchase will help support the not-for-profit museum bring the life and work of the artist and environmental campaigner to future generations. Cruelty free and vegan friendly.

Perhaps William Morris’s most recognisable design, Strawberry Thief was inspired by the thrushes that crept under Morris’s strawberry nets in his garden at Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire.

The original pattern took several days to print using hand-carved woodblocks to build up the different colours, and ‘Strawberry Thief’ was consequently one of Morris’s firm’s most expensive cottons. Whilst waiting to see the first piece printed, Morris endured sleepless nights in his lodgings at Merton Abbey. Designed in 1883, Strawberry Thief remains one of William Morris’s most popular and iconic designs.

Measuring W31 x H21 x D4.5cm.
