Saving too many neckties? Turn cherished ties into a one-of-a-kind Memory Bear. Handmade in our professional sewing studio, each bear highlights the unique fabrics and colors of your loved one’s neckties, creating a timeless keepsake that brings memories close.

Send us 8-12 of your favorite ties and we'll turn them into a memory bear. 

Finished bear measures approximately 17 inches tall with embroidered eyes and nose for added charm and safety (no plastic parts or buttons!). Allow 6-8 weeks to create your keepsake (+shipping time).

NOTE: This bear is $20 more than the Original Memory Bear due to the additional labor required to take apart and piece the ties.

WE MAKE IT EASY to have a keepsake made out of your most sentimental clothes.

  1. Order your keepsake product
  2. Choose clothes that hold special memories
  3. Send your clothes to The Patchwork Bear
  4. You'll receive your keepsake in just a few weeks. Instant heirloom!
