About Us

At Love Keep Create, we transform cherished clothing into lasting keepsakes that preserve memories and tell stories. Founded in 2013, our journey started with a simple but heartfelt idea - to make meaningful products that help people remember their loved ones or celebrate key milestones. This personal project resonated deeply with friends and family, leading to the birth of Love Keep Create.  

More than a decade on, Love Keep Create remains committed to exceptional craftsmanship, outstanding customer service, and supporting families in preserving their most precious memories. Our expanded range now includes keepsakes for school leavers wishing to transform their uniforms into lasting mementos, as well as bespoke items crafted from wedding dresses and sports team attire to name a few!

As a mother to a young son and the owner of another successful small business specialising in children's clothing and gifting, our owner Katy understands how meaningful it is to preserve memories from those early years, and she is committed to making each keepsake the best it can be.

Our Mission

We are passionate about helping individuals transform their loved ones' clothing into meaningful keepsakes. Whether it's a memory bear made from a child's first outfit, or a quilt crafted from the clothes of someone no longer with us, each item is made with care and attention to detail. Our goal is to provide comfort and preserve memories in a tangible form.

Key People

Pip

Pip - Pip is our wonderful workshop manager and head of all things 'making'.  She has a degree in Costume Production from the Plymouth College of Art and is super organised keeping orders going out on time.  Fun fact about Pip is that she once turned herself into a giant spider made out of entirely recycled materials.  Pip's favourite design is our letter cushions!

Sally

Sally - Sally is our pattern cutter.  She does the vast majority of our cutting so she's the one who's super important job it is to make sense of the notes that you send in with the clothing.  Fun fact about Sally - her dream pet is a miniature pig.  We did ask if we could buy her one so that it could be our office mascot and we're just waiting to see if her husband will say yes.  Watch this space.  In the meantime.... her favourite keepsake is (obviously) our pig!

Eleana

Eleana - Eleana is a production team member.  She's a real juggler, keeping the embroidery machine running, hopping on 'Stuffington Bear' (our stuffing machine) and hand finishing the animals.  Fun fact about Eleana is that she's a windsurfer and she loves our keepsake bunny!

Hannah

Hannah - Hannah is one of LoveKeepCreate's most long-standing seamstresses. She is an absolute whizz at making the most beautiful Christening Gowns from wedding dresses and has been through pretty much all of the random clothing requests we get - entire quilt from boxer shorts, threadbare bunny towel turned in to a memory bunny teddy, a double bed blanket out of ties….. Fun fact about Hannah is another sports star one, she used to be a winger for Plymouth Albion girls' rugby and her favourite keepsake is our sausage dog.

Jasmin

Jasmin - Jasmin has been with LoveKeepCreate for years and is an outstanding seamstress. She's also queen of the embroidery machines and keeps everyone in check! She now has her hands full with two tiny tots but keeps herself busy sewing for us both at home and in the workshop!  Jasmin is a big fan of our keepsake koala as koalas remind her of how her son gives her big koala cuddles!

Darrell

Darrell - Darrell has been with Love Keep Create since 2024. Starting with us as an administrator, her passion for creativity soon shone through and she's excited to join our memory makers behind the sewing machine as well as behind the computer helping you with orders. Darrell loves our dog keepsake with a love for furry friends!
