‘The Keep’ Collection
Designed and constructed in the UK, The Keep is a new collection from The Make Shed — a study in strength, sanctuary, and the quiet beauty of things made to last.
Each garment is thoughtfully crafted from rich fabrics with provenance, chosen for their depth, texture, and timeless quality. From unruly knits to buttery-soft wools, linens, and cottons, every piece carries the mark of its maker — each stitch, seam, and cut tracing a story of care and intention.
Inspired by the inner sanctum of the castle keep, this collection embodies the idea of a modern refuge — clothing that offers comfort and confidence, wrapping the wearer in warmth, resilience, and quiet purpose. There’s a heritage in every detail, yet a bold modernity in how these pieces move and feel.

About The Make Shed
The Make Shed was established by Claire Ambrose-Gordon, an artist and maker based in rural Kent. From our studio — our ‘shed’ — we design and handcraft sustainable clothing that combines artistry, comfort, and conscience.
Each piece is made in the UK, thoughtfully created in small quantities using natural, responsibly sourced materials.
We create unique designs in-house and make everything in the UK. Our garments are crafted in small quantities, with simple, considered cuts that celebrate the skill of local seamstresses and knitters.

We cater to a broad range of customers, across all ages and genders, creating timeless pieces designed to be loved and worn for years to come. Together, we’re breaking the unsustainable cycle of fast fashion — choosing quality, integrity, and longevity instead.
We believe fashion should be an extension of your personality, something that enhances your everyday life and brings joy to getting dressed. Each piece is designed to last — effortless, enduring styles that encourage buying less and wearing longer.
