AboutThe Client
Emigrating in 2000 from Great Britain to Lake Forest, Illinois, Emma and Mark Harris quickly took to their newly adopted American home.
Once, when packing to visit family back in Scotland, Emma happened upon her Saxony wool university scarf, complete with embroidered seal, pulled from the bottom of her drawer.
Besides being a family heirloom — and a cozy way to keep warm — the scarf represented a centuries-old tradition first introduced to Oxford and Cambridge students as an emblem of academic excellence, scholarly pride and global community.
Noticing there was nothing like it of the sort in the United States, inspiration struck and Harris Made was launched.
Since then, we have expanded beyond Saxony wool scarves to offer a range of affordable bespoke recognition gifts that include handmade silk scarves and ties, leather goods, wool throws, magnetic badges, enamel cufflinks and brooches, brass and nickel coasters, paperweights, and other custom accessories. Working exclusively with our family-owned mills and tannery in England and Scotland, our craftsmanship meets the highest standard for exquisite quality, first-class service and rigorous quality control.
