Product Description

Art and Craft Movement

The Arts and Crafts Movement was formed as a reaction against the effects of machine production – on the social conditions of factory workers and on the inferior quality of machine manufactured goods. Such was the impact of the industrial revolution on traditional skills that many artists and designers were concerned that the decorative arts were in danger of being lost forever.

The movement – which took its name from the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, a group founded in London in 1887, set about reviving traditional artisanship.

William Morris

William Morris is a name deeply linked with the Arts & Crafts movement. Born in Essex, he studied classics at Oxford, where he met Edward Burne-Jones, a fellow artist who shared his passion for the medieval period. Through Burne-Jones, Morris was introduced to Dante-Gabriel Rossetti, and they formed the company that became Morris & Co – the business synonymous with so many Arts and Crafts designs.

Morris looked to the past – particularly the medieval period, for inspiration and for simpler methods of production, arguing for the return to a system of manufacturing based around small-scale workshops.

Strawberry Thief in Blue Backdrop

Strawberry thief one of William Morris’s most popular repeating designs for textiles. It takes as its subject the thrush birds that Morris found stealing fruit in the kitchen garden of his countryside home Kelmscott Manor in Oxfordshire. The design was a triumph for Morris as it marked the perfecting of the indigo-discharge technique of printing at Merton Abbey. Inspired by this exciting design, Signare developed strawberry thief design in tapestry with a blue or a red backdrop.

The Art of Tapestry

Tapestry is an ancient art dating back over 2000 years. In the UK and Europe, tapestry art was most prominent during the middle-ages. Barons and knights would adorn their castle walls with them for both decoration and warmth. A tapestry is started by stretching plain warp threads on a loom to create a grid. The coloured weft threads are then weaved in and out of the warp threads, building up a complete tapestry. Our production method uses modern mechanical looms which greatly speeds up what used to take weeks or months by hand.

A special characteristic of each Signare bag is that each one is unique. Signare means ‘Signature’ in Latin and we wish every customer to possess their own individual signature bag.
