Morris & Friends fabric collection Morris & Co

Morris & Friends fabric by Morris & Co with leaves, flowers and tendrils

Morris & Friends fabric gathers leaves, tendrils, berries and flowers into patterns that fill every inch, with hardly any bare ground showing. In Morris & Friends by Morris & Co, foliage always leads. Sometimes it grows freely across the cloth, sometimes it is mirrored in tidy rows. Some designs read as woven tapestry, others show visible stitches or the crisp outlines of block printing. Colors run from cream on soft blue and pale yellow on dark brown to aubergine, burgundy and white on indigo. The velvets give darker grounds a deep, soft glow.
