Every William Morris lovers best friend needs one of our beautiful dog bandanas. This Strawberry Thief red bandana adds a pop of colour to your pooch, making them the most stylish of dogs to be the envy of every walk.
Our bandanas are handmade in Yorkshire and slip right onto the dogs collar. Bertie in photos is modelling the Large/ XL size.
Strawberry Thief was first produced in 1883. It marked a triumph for Morris as it was produced as he perfected the indigo-discharge technique of printing at Merton Abbey. We also have Strawberry Thief Blue within our collection.
The design was inspired by William Morris's observation of the thrushes under the strawberry nets at Kelmscott Manor. May Morris conjured up this scene when speaking of the design, "You can imagine my Father going out in the early morning and watching the rascally thrushes at work on the fruit beds and telling the fanned who growls ‘I'd like to wring their necks!' that no bird in the garden must be touched. There were certainly more birds than strawberries in spite of attempts at protection. And the walls of the little dining-room are hung with this note of the June garden and the little lords of it." What a lovely insight into the Morris family life!
Today, we print and manufacture all our products in the United Kingdom. Back when Morris was producing his designs, it was a long process taking three days to prepare. It had to be really accurate.
The Large/ XL size measures: 30cm wide x 24cm The collar width to thread the bandana onto is 6cm
Just like all our designs, our Strawberry Thief dog bandana is printed and manufactured in the United Kingdom. All our William Morris designs are licensed designs, printed both size and colour wise to our own specification to best suit our products.
