Handmade Leather Shoulder Bag 'The Strawberry Thieves'

Carrying your bag shouldn't mean sacrificing your hands. This shoulder bag solves that. Printed with William Morris's iconic Strawberry Thief design, it sits comfortably under your arm, giving you all-day wear without bulk or slipping. Built from 100% real Nappa leather and hand-stitched by expert makers in London, it’s not just made to last — it’s made to be used.

Available in smooth or textured leather, each piece is ethically printed and hand-painted in-house. That includes the zip pulls, base tabs, and handle edges — all done by a real person, not a machine. The faux suede interior gives your belongings a soft place to land, while two interior pockets stop everything from ending up in a pile.

It’s a practical carry option that actually looks good, with just the right amount of space for your everyday gear. Less fuss. More use.

About the Print
First created in 1883, the Art Nouveau The Strawberry Thieves is one of William Morris’s most beloved patterns. Inspired by thrushes pinching fruit from his Oxfordshire garden, the design captures the energy of everyday nature through intricate, repeating detail. It’s floral, a little mischievous, and instantly recognisable — a quiet nod to the Arts & Crafts movement and its belief in beauty as a daily right.

Always test an offcut or sample prior to working the leather with tools, adhesives or heat. To ensure the leather print on your product is as durable as possible, we’ve worked hard refining our printing process and craftsmanship. Repeated turning or working may affect the digital print, always test your processes on a sample first. As leather is a natural material you may notice small differences in surface and texture, as well as wrinkles, which is common to products made from natural leather. All leathers age naturally according to the usage, and this can cause the print to wrinkle or fade slightly over time. It is possible the base colour may show through the leather as it ages with wear. When not in use we recommend storing your product in a protective dust bag or box to keep your product looking its best. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, sunlight, water, and chemical cleaners to maintain a bright and long-lasting print. Avoid contact with light coloured fabrics or upholstery as the colour may transfer. Whilst a light rain shower is unlikely to harm, we recommend protecting from rain. Should your product get wet, allow to dry naturally away from direct heat. To clean surface wipe only with a damp lint free cotton cloth.

  • Wipe with a lint free cloth
  • Do Not Wash
  • Avoid high temperatures
  • Avoid direct sunlight
  • Avoid chemical cleaners
  • Avoid rain and water
