William Morris Blue Strawberry Thief Tapestry Cosmetic Bag for Women

Art and Craft Movement Product Description

The Arts and Crafts Movement originated as a response to the negative impact of industrialization on both the social conditions of factory workers and the subpar quality of machine-made goods. Concerned that traditional skills were in danger of disappearing, many artists and designers sought to revive traditional craftsmanship.

Named after the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, founded in London in 1887, the movement aimed to bring back traditional artisanship. A key figure in this movement was William Morris, whose passion for the medieval period led him to advocate for simpler methods of production based on small-scale workshops.

One of Morris's most famous designs, the Strawberry Thief, was inspired by the thrush birds he observed stealing fruit in his countryside home. This design marked a breakthrough for Morris as it showcased the indigo-discharge printing technique. Signare has developed the Strawberry Thief design in tapestry with both blue and red backdrops.
