Customer Reviews
I have 3 of these bears and love them. Great quality and a forever keepsake. Highly recommend
There are some objects that are more than just things — they are living memories, stitched together with love, loss, and hope.
My patchwork bear is one of those treasures.
Made from my father’s clothes, this bear holds a part of him that words could never fully capture. My dad passed away before two of the biggest milestones of my life — my wedding and the launch of my new company. He never got to see the world I’m building, but somehow, having this bear by my side makes it feel like he’s still a part of it all.
Each piece of fabric tells its own story — a favorite shirt he wore on Sunday mornings, a flannel he loved in the fall, a soft hoodie that reminds me of every adventure he ever took me on. The bear sits proudly in my office: a quiet, comforting presence, a reminder that my roots are strong and that his spirit and love continue to guide me through every risk, every triumph, every dream coming true.
It’s more than a keepsake — it’s a connection. It’s my father’s laughter, his wisdom, his unwavering belief in me, all stitched together in a form I can hug when the world feels too heavy.
This bear is proof that love never leaves us. It simply finds new ways to stay close.
I am so very grateful for this company. I had one made for my mom right away and kept feeling like I needed one too! I'm so glad I have mine. Oh yeah, it's adorable too! MADE TO PERFECTION. Thanks again!
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.
