Customer Reviews
So very happy to have found your company. Having a keepsake for my children of their late father's clothing means so much. I wanted one especially to meet the milestone of my daughters graduation. Thank you for your professionalism, understanding and kindness during a difficult and emotional time . The bears are well made . They will be cherished. Thank you again
The bears are a beautiful reminder of our Mom❤️ My sister and I each had one made from my mom's clothes after she passed. We have plans to have more made for her grandkids and great grandkids. Such a special keepsake. Thank you
I sent one of my son’s shirts and the end result was perfect. I will cherish this bear forever!!
Such beautiful work!
My sister and I lost our mom in December. I selected two of her favorite denim shirts and ordered a bear for each of us for our April birthdays. I cried when I opened the box. The bears are made with amazing love and detail. Thank you so much for giving us a part of our mom to cherish and love forever.
I ordered 2 bears to be made from three of my husbands shirts. A memory bear for my first grandchild, and a smaller one for me.
They are beautiful, I cried when I opened the box. Precious indeed. Thank You.
We had 10 bears done for my dad and they turned out amazingly. Thank you!!
I sent clothing from my daughter’s childhood to have a bear made for her new daughter (1st Grandbaby) and wow…it was even better than I expected. The care taken to include the most special bits of the clothing was exceptional. My daughter was touched. Thank you for creating a very special “heirloom” piece for our new granddaughter.❤️
