Why We Love It
The Red colorway of Strawberry Thief offers an opulent, warm-toned interpretation of William Morris's signature pattern! The saturated madder-red background provides authentic Victorian depth, making the cream floral petals, feathered birds, and sage leaves stand out with striking definition.
