Description:

William Morris Strawberry Thief Cotton Floral Heavy Weight Fabric By The Half Metre

This licensed William Morris Pimpernel  design was first produced in 1883

William Morris was inspired to produce this design after watching the birds steal the strawberries from under the fruit nets at Kelmscott Manor.

The 100% cotton was printed in the UK.

William Morris Strawberry Thief has been printed onto 152 cm (60") wide cotton with a 2.5cm (1") salve edge on either side.

The pattern repeat is 14cm.

As with all natural fibres, cotton will contract so slight shrinkage should be allowed for.

If you order more than half a metre the fabric will be sent in one continuous piece.

The fabric is machine washable at 40 degrees.

Please Note: This fabric is sold in half metre lengths.

To purchase the length required, please enter the quantity above. For example to purchase 1 metre, enter a quantity of 2. To purchase 10 metres, enter 20.

About Us

Laura's Beau was founded in 1994 by Gill Kinnear with the help and guidance of her father, the late Ted Lacy. After 55 years in the household textile industry, Ted had been involved at the highest level in design development , manufacturing, buying and retailing.

Gill grew up in a textile-orientated household where there were always designs-in-development draped around the family home. Following the formation of Laura's Beau, Ted introduced Gill to his favourite suppliers and these supplier relationships continue to this day.

The fundamental principles of the business were laid down in 1994. The emphasis is on traditional quality. All products are made from 100% cotton, all products are printed, quilted, pvc-coated and manufactured in the UK. Ted's "old-school" principle of "good business with nice people" continues to underpin the business to this day.

The wholesale side of the business took a new direction In 2010, with a "state of the art" direct dispatch operation in place, Gill decide to sell directly to the public and the retail catalogue and online mail order business proved to be highly successful.

Laura's Beau continues to be founded upon the traditional principles of business integrity and quality Ted instilled in 1994, yet it harnesses the most up-to-date technological methods, which ensure our retail customers always receive quality goods in the fastest of dispatch time, with honest, courteous, service.
