William Morris Tea Towel

When class robbery is abolished every man will reap the fruits of his labor.

This tea towel combines one William Morris classic designs Strawberry Thief and a radical quote by him -- in a perfect marriage of his two passions: art and activism.

A British artist, poet, novelist, and ardent socialist, Morris is best known as the 19th century's most celebrated textile designer, responsible for some of the most recognizable textile patterns from the century. He was a radical in both his art and politics, refusing to follow the consensus.

Disillusioned by the Victorian era's focus on dehumanizing industrial systems that produced poor-quality, 'unnatural' objects, Morris championed a principle of handmade production, establishing the British Arts and Crafts Movement.
