About The Make Shed
‘We care about how we create our clothing, using natural products such as wools and linens that have provenance. Creating designs that are timeless, garments that let you add to your existing wardrobe.’
Claire Gordon – Founder of The Make Shed
Our Garments
Our clientele enjoy slow thoughtful garments. Catering to a broad range of customers of all ages and genders creating timeless pieces for years to come – breaking the unsustainable cycle of purchasing and discarding short-lived fashion.
Supporting local
Supporting local seamstresses and knitters and sustainable craftsmanship committed to consciously treating the planet kindly. Our garments are brought to life by a collective of skilled local knitters, whose years of experience and deep understanding of their craft are woven into every stitch.
Founded by British designer/Maker Claire Gordon, The Make Shed grew from a lifelong interest in clothes, fabrics and love of making. Based in rural Kent, we work with skilled local makers to create thoughtful, individual garments in small quantities.
From fabric selection and pattern cutting to the final stitch, every stage reflects our belief in good materials, considered design and making things properly. Drawing inspiration from the natural world and traditional craftsmanship, we create clothes that are a little different, made to be worn, lived in and loved for years to come.

‘Pilgrimage’ Collection & Lookbook
Pilgrimage is a collection inspired by a love of walking — by the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other and giving yourself a little space to think.
It’s about slowing down, getting back to basics, and finding a bit of peace and perspective along the way. We’ve used beautiful natural fabrics, British wool, textured yarns, and our own hand-designed linen/wool mix – with pieces designed to be lived in, layered and worn for years.
There’s something grounding about making clothes slowly and thoughtfully, and that’s very much at the heart of this collection.
