Product Insights
These placemats feature William Morris's 140-year-old Strawberry Thief design, printed on a rigid MDF core with a laminated top that resists stains and peeling and a cork backing that provides non-slip grip and heat insulation up to 90°C (stovetop excluded). At $29 per set of four, they undercut licensed competitors by half, though the patterned black colorway runs sage green and off-white, and the size fits standard dinner plates but not oversized chargers. Durable, stable on laps, and wipe-clean, they are often bought as a coordinated gift set.
Verified claims
- Design
- William Morris's Strawberry Thief (1883) has been in continuous production for over 140 years and earns compliments in both period and contemporary settings.
- Printing technique
- The original Strawberry Thief fabric was printed via an intricate indigo discharge process requiring multiple dye and bleach passes.
- Colorway
- The Patterned Black color option differs from traditional indigo/red versions, accommodating modern decor; some buyers note it runs sage green and off-white.
- Value
- At $29 CAD for a set of four ($7.25 per mat), these placemats undercut licensed competitors like Pimpernel by about half per mat.
- Core construction
- MDF core resists warping and keeps placemats flat.
- Laminated top
- Laminated top resists stains, protects print, and resists peeling.
- Cork backing
- Cork backing provides non-slip grip, heat insulation, and protects tables.
- Heat resistance
- Withstands heat up to 90°C for hot plates and mugs, but not stovetop pans.
- Surface protection
- Cork backing shields tables from heat, scratches, and marks.
- Stability and grip
- Non-slip cork and rigid core keep placemats flat and stable on any surface.
- Heat limitation
- Heat resistant up to 90°C; use a trivet for hot cookware.
- Build quality
- Paper-laminated MDF with cork backing matches Pimpernel's build and heat resistance (90°C).
- Print durability
- The sealed laminate and rigid MDF core prevent scratches, peeling, and warping with regular use.
- Care & cleaning
- The laminate's non-porous surface lets red wine and coffee wipe off with a damp cloth.
- Safe use
- Safe for warm plates up to 90°C; not for stovetop or direct food contact.
- Everyday versatility
- Buyers use these placemats for daily meals and on soft surfaces like sofas or beds.
- Lap tray
- Wheelchair users report the placemat stays stable on their lap, unlike plastic trays.
- Gift set
- Often bought as a coordinated William Morris gift with matching coasters and napkins.
- Size
- Fits standard dinner plates; smaller than oversized mats, so large charger plates may feel cramped.
- Rigidity
- Solid MDF core gives rigid flat profile, no edge curling.
- Non-slip
- Cork backing grips laps, enabling stable lap dining for wheelchair users.
- Per-mat cost
- $7.25 per mat: about half the price of a single licensed alternative.

Deep Research
How the laminated MDF and cork construction holds up
- Medium-density fiberboard is hydroscopically stable, expanding and contracting far less than natural wood under ambient humidity shifts, so the placemats remain flat and free of warping through years of dining-room use.
- Designed in-house by Simons Maison, the placemat pairs a recognized art pattern with practical, long-wearing materials—laminated MDF for durability and cork for grip—reflecting the private label’s focus on accessible, design-forward home goods built for daily life.
- Unlike thin plastic or silicone placemats that can curl at the edges or slide under plates, the solid MDF core gives these placemats a firm, board-like rigidity that stays flat and stable, preventing edges from flipping up and ensuring a level surface for dinnerware.
- The resin-impregnated paper laminate creates a fully non-porous top layer that repels liquids and resists staining from common dinner-time spills like red wine, coffee, and tomato-based sauces, maintaining a clean appearance with a simple damp-cloth wipe.
- With a top-surface rating of 90°C, the placemat comfortably accommodates hot beverages (typically 70–80°C) and oven-warmed plates (80–90°C), covering the vast majority of daily hot meals without necessitating a separate trivet.
- Natural cork’s closed-cell, honeycomb structure provides a secure non-slip grip that prevents sliding on tabletops and adds a subtle layer of thermal insulation, absorbing some heat before it reaches the table surface and reducing warmth transfer from hot plates.
- The Strawberry Thief decorative paper is sealed beneath the laminate’s protective wear layer, shielding the intricate designs, fine lines, and deep blacks from abrasion, fading, and moisture damage even through repeated cleaning, so the pattern remains vivid over time.
The story behind William Morris's Strawberry Thief
- The original fabric was produced using a complex indigo discharge method that required multiple dyeing and bleaching stages to achieve the rich blue background and crisp pattern — a technical feat reflecting the Arts and Crafts movement's dedication to handcrafted excellence that adds depth to even a modern reproduction.
- The design has been in continuous production for over 140 years, licensed across wallpaper, textiles, and home goods, meaning these placemats join a long lineage of Strawberry Thief products rather than a short-lived decorative trend.
- William Morris created Strawberry Thief in 1883 after watching thrushes steal strawberries from his garden at Kelmscott Manor, infusing the design with a personal, narrative-driven authenticity that distinguishes it from generic bird-and-fruit motifs.
- As one of the most recognizable patterns of the Arts and Crafts movement, Strawberry Thief embodies the era's rejection of industrial mass production and its embrace of nature-inspired ornament, giving today's placemats a historical resonance often missing from contemporary tableware.
- Morris's belief that everyday objects should be beautiful and well-made — a core tenet of his firm — carries through to these licensed placemats, positioning them as an accessible entry point into a design legacy that continues to influence modern interiors.
How this set compares to other Strawberry Thief placemats
- While Strawberry Thief is traditionally reproduced in indigo, red, or green, this exclusive opts for a black background that heightens the contrast of birds and foliage, giving the 1883 pattern a modern graphic punch that integrates more naturally with contemporary monochrome or minimalist tableware.
- Originally designed by William Morris in 1883, Strawberry Thief is one of the most celebrated textile patterns of the Arts and Crafts movement, so these placemats bring a historically authenticated design to the table — not a generic reproduction — that has been continuously in production for over 140 years.
- As a direct Simons Maison exclusive, this set of 4 at 29 CAD avoids the multi-tier licensing markups common with third-party brands like Pimpernel, yielding a per-mat cost of about $7.25 CAD — roughly half the price of a single Pimpernel Strawberry Thief mat, making the design substantially more accessible for daily settings.

Wonderful addition to tableware! Elegant yet sturdy cork backed place ware, keeping heat from the wood table, yet elegant to place under dinnerware. I gave a set as a gift, and they much adored by the recipient.

Good quality, great price
This is a favourite William Morris image. Happy to say that these are well made enough for every day use so they can be enjoyed not only for special occasions. I much prefer solid place mats over fabric. Easy to simply wipe rather than wash and iron. And all that a great price.
Beautiful affordable placemats
Durable, easy-clean and so attractive. A pleasure to present.
Très jolie
De belles et bonnes qualités ces napperons embellissent la salle à dîner
Q&A
5 answered- Will the laminated surface peel or bubble over time with regular use and wiping?
- The laminated surface is designed to resist peeling and bubbling. Similar Pimpernel placemats use a sealing technique that prevents peeling at the edges [2][3], and our placemats have a protective coating that withstands regular wiping with a damp cloth. With normal use, peeling or bubbling should not occur.
- Does the cork backing leave marks or stains on wooden tables?
- The cork backing is designed to be non-slip and non-scratching, so it should not leave marks or stains on wooden tables. Similar Pimpernel placemats are described as having a cork backing that stays put without scratching or sliding [1]. However, as with any cork product, we recommend testing on an inconspicuous area if you have a very delicate table surface.
- Is the heat resistance of 90°C sufficient for placing hot pans or pots directly from the stove?
- No, 90°C/194°F is not sufficient for placing hot pans or pots directly from the stove. Stovetop cookware often exceeds 100°C. These placemats are heat-resistant for serving dishes and warm plates, not for direct contact with hot cookware. We recommend using a trivet or hot pad for very hot items.
- What is the exact pattern and color of the Strawberry Thief print compared to the product photos?
- Our Strawberry Thief placemats feature the classic William Morris design with birds and botanical elements, but in a 'Patterned Black' colorway (black background with lighter motifs). This differs from the more common red or blue variants shown in some product photos online [2][3]. The actual product matches the images in our listing, which show the black version.
- Are these placemats food-safe, particularly the laminated surface?
- These placemats are safe for serving dishes and indirect food contact, but the laminated surface is not intended for direct food contact like a cutting board. The materials (laminated paper on MDF with cork backing) are standard for placemats and are considered safe for tabletop use. Always wipe clean with a damp cloth and avoid using abrasive cleaners.
