Welcome to Harris Made

We design and make heirloom-quality bespoke donor recognition gifts, and are privileged to count over 300 institutions among our clients.

Harris Made is Emma and Mark Harris, British and US dual nationals who have split their time between Lake Forest, Illinois and the United Kingdom for over 25 years. Emma designs each gift, hand-selects the finest materials and inspects every piece herself.

How we work

Every stage runs through Emma

  1. Emma Harris, designer and co-founder of Harris Made, sitting on a wooden stool in the studio

    A conversation

    You talk with Emma about your needs, your dreams and what makes your institution special.

  2. Emma's hand-drawn sketch for the Smithsonian, with a large sunburst, assorted sizes and the tie tipping
    02

    Hand-drawn designs

    Emma works your crest, colors or a favorite building into hand-drawn pattern repeats, so you see the idea on paper first.

  3. 2 printed silk strike-offs in cobalt blue with a small flower repeat, laid out on a wooden workbench

    Samples for your approval

    We make samples for your approval, and nothing goes into production until you are happy.

  4. A gold and navy silk scarf and 2 silk ties for the Marquette University Founders Society, with the foil-stamped presentation box and printed thank-you notecard
    04

    Made and presented

    Mills and a foundry holding Royal Warrants make each piece, and Emma inspects every gift before it is wrapped in your branded presentation box.

  5. A guest at a Marquette University evening reception wearing the gold and navy Founders Society silk scarf

    Given and worn

    Your gift reaches the people you want to thank, to be worn and kept for years.
