Handmade in Australia, each Memory Bear is lovingly sewn from your clothing or fabric that holds sentimental meaning.
These keepsake bears are cherished as bereavement gifts, comfort teddies, or a way to preserve a loved one’s memory. They can also be created from baby clothes your little one has outgrown. A beautiful way to preserve those early memories in a keepsake you can hold.
Made from shirts, dresses, baby clothes, or other garments that tell your story.
For families who wish, an ashes inclusion option is available . A small, sealed pouch can be securely stitched inside the bear. No additional charge.
