This is the 3rd or 4th time I have sent clothes and received back the most beautifully made keepsakes! I cannot recommend them more. The care they show to our loved ones items is beyond belief! So thankful I found them
We had previously purchased a memory bear, so when my mom passed away a couple of months ago, I knew I would be buying again. I bought bears and ornaments for myself, my dad, siblings, and nieces, and they are simply perfect. To know we have something of my mom’s to remember her by means the world to my family. I can’t thank you enough for all of the hard work and care that went into making these memories for us!
Thank you so much for the custom bears out of my dad’s Burberry trench. My sisters were so excited!!!
The bear was absolutely beautiful! It was the perfect gift for my son’s girlfriend and created a timeless memory! Your work is always exceptional!!!
I am very happy to receive my memory bear for Christmas. I am planning to have 3 more made for my daughter and grandchildren for their birthdays. Thank you Jen and TPBT. I love it!
My patchwork bear made from shirts from my mom and dad is incredible. It helps turn grief at their loss to happy memories. Got one for me and one for my daughter. Love them.
My Patchwork Bears are so great!! My sisters, daughters and grandkids are going to be absolutely thrilled to receive these at Christmas. It means so much to have these special bears to hold and bring back so many wonderful memories to us all. Thank You for the beautiful work and for bringing so much joy to so many people.
My family is going to cherish these bears forever. They are made from my late grandpas clothes and hugging them brings me comfort. Endless thank yous
