William Morris Strawberry Thief Apron

Treat yourself – or someone you love – to a new apron this Christmas. Super-smart for bustling in and out of the kitchen on Christmas Day, this William Morris Strawberry Thief Apron has an adjustable neck strap, long ties at the back and a really useful loop at waist level so you can carry a tea towel or cloth to wipe sticky hands on (and keep the apron pristine).

And there’s a matching double oven glove available too, if you’d like to look really coordinated as you rustle up the festive feast.

William Morris Strawberry Thief design

Perhaps the most famous design from the whole Arts & Crafts movement, the Strawberry Thief was inspired by the thrushes that William saw stealing fruit from the kitchen garden of his country house, Kelmscott Manor in Oxfordshire.

Made from machine-washable cotton, it’s easy to keep this apron looking smart.
