Boston College medallion badge in gold and silver wire, Collegium Bostoniense
The Boston College medallion badge.

A medallion badge in gold and silver wire

The badge is handmade with the same gold and silver gilt metal wire thread used for the Guards' uniforms at Buckingham Palace. A magnetic, felt-covered back makes it easy to put on and take off, and when it is not being worn it makes a useful paperweight.

A Saxony wool scarf with the Presidential seal

Saxony wool scarves are a centuries-old tradition, first introduced to students at Oxford and Cambridge as a mark of academic excellence, scholarly pride and global community. This design celebrates Boston College's colors and its embroidered Presidential seal. The wool is woven on the same looms that make the scarlet cloth for the Guards' uniforms at Buckingham Palace.

How we work

Every Harris Made commission follows the same 3 steps: a conversation with Emma, our designer and co-founder, about what makes your institution special; samples for your approval before production; and a final inspection by Emma before each gift is wrapped in a client-branded presentation box.
