Virginia Strawberry in Ochre, Heirloom Collection

Virginia Strawberry is inspired by Fragaria Virginiana, native wild strawberries whose enormous flavor bears an inverse relationship to their small stature. Recognizable for their cheery, white florettes, tooth-edged leaves and fragrant red berries, Fragaria Virginiana fruit in early summer, and attract a wide variety of pollinators, including monarch butterflies. Of these ruby red delights, Thoreau wrote “What flavor can be more agreeable to our palates than that of this little fruit, which thus, as it were, exudes from the earth at the very beginning of the summer, without any care of ours?”

Virginia Strawberry draws its tight symmetry and nested motifs from the regimented, interlocking compositions typical of Arts and Crafts period textiles and wallpapers.
