Price History
Description
A classic print reworked as a rug, the Strawberry Thief design shows cheeky birds stealing strawberries against a beautifully created backdrop inspired by the beauty of nature. Hand-tufted and hand-carved from a wool-rich blend, this rug boasts an intricate, multi-dimensional look and feel underfoot. Originally a fabric designed by Morris and registered in 1883, Strawberry Thief was the first indigo discharge printed on cotton at Merton Abbey.
Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its vibrant yet versatile design, which can easily elevate both traditional and contemporary interiors. The strawberry thief pattern adds a charming touch of nature-inspired detail that works beautifully in cosy living rooms, bedrooms, or even a creative home office. For styling, consider pairing it with neutral furnishings to let the pattern stand out, or match with soft, natural textiles to enhance its organic feel. Practical tips include placing this rug under a seating area or alongside a bed to define the space without overwhelming it. Its muted colour palette also lends itself well to layered textures and subtle colour accents, making it a flexible addition that offers both style and practicality.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
