HAPPY EARTH DAY!

What can we make from YOUR clothes?

Your clothes have memories. We help save them.

We all have them. Special clothes saved that hold memories from when they were worn: baby clothes, team jersey, concert t-shirt...even a wedding dress or clothes from a lost loved one

We'll turn your clothes into a memory bear so you can save the memories, not the clothes.

We are the ORIGINAL Memory Bear company and one of Oprah's Favorite Things! Don't let just anyone cut up your irreplaceable clothes- we've been trusted to make thousands of memory bears and would love to make one for you.

From start to finish, we take pride in our work. It starts when your clothes arrive- each package is signed for and kept in a secure, indoor facility, safe from theft or bad weather.

We work in a professional sewing studio with a small, talented team of designers and sewers. We take the time with your clothes to create keepsakes that are as special as the people who wore them.
