Mark & Emma Harris · Founders
We create exquisite, heirloom-quality bespoke donor recognition gifts for over 300 institutional clients.
Universities, hospitals, museums, foundations and corporations come to us to thank the people who matter most to their mission. Every gift is drawn from scratch around your colors, your crest and the story only your institution can tell, and it is never sold to anyone else.
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. The mills and foundry that craft our work are recipients of Royal Warrants, the highest mark of British quality.
Trusted by a growing roster of 300+ institutions

You talk with Emma about your needs, your dreams and what makes your institution special.
Emma weaves your story into hand-drawn pattern repeats, so you see the idea on paper first.
We make samples for your approval, and nothing goes into production until you are happy.
Mills and a foundry holding Royal Warrants craft each piece, and Emma inspects every gift before it is wrapped in your branded presentation box.
