Sometimes a single item of clothing can bring memories flooding back, and that's why our cardigan or jumper memory bear is so popular. It has all the same features of our classic bear, but we encourage customers to send us a particular jumper or cardigan, which we then turn into a smaller version for the bear.
If a loved one has recently passed away or you've got treasured clothes that you don't want to throw away, this keepsake bear is a lovely solution. We find it's a particularly loved item to remember grandparents or parents, and can be loved by adults and children alike.
We make the rest of the bear out of other clothes you send us, while the jumper or cardigan is sewed to the front. Please bear in mind it will not be a removable item like a human jumper or cardigan.
Sizes
We only need 1 - 2 two items of adult clothing to make each bear, but feel free to send us more if you want them to be included.
While our keepsakes can be machine washed at 40 degrees, we would recommend that they are hand washed and dried naturally. Do not tumble dry. The stuffing is 100% CE tested polyester.
As these can be delicate items, often made from very well-worn clothes, they can not be CE tested and therefore come with the following: Warning: This product is not suitable for persons under the age of 14 years. Pattern is by LoveKeepCreate Ltd.
More Details & How It Works
Once you’ve placed your order, you’ll receive an email telling you how to send us your clothes. Once we receive your clothes, it takes approximately eight weeks to get your finished keepsake back to you, unless you choose one of our Express Options at the checkout - we can make them in as little as one week. If there is a special date you need it for, please do make a note of this when you checkout or send in the clothes.
If you have got a lot of special requests and additions then, depending on the complexity, we may contact you to request an additional payment to cover the cost of making these.
Our images are to display what can be achieved with your clothes. All of our bears use the same pattern, and can be made from any clothes that you send us, whether baby, child or adult.

Such lovely memory bears of NannyReviewed by Joysy13 on 29 Jul 2021
I had two bears made for my children from their Nanny’s favourite jumpers and fleeces. The quality of the bears is amazing and both look great. Both grandchildren love the finished product and loved the surprise. Something to treasure and a lovely memory of Nanny. The ordering process was seamless and very easy. Notification of receipt of the items of clothing came through within a day or so. I would definitely recommend the product to anyone, something different to have and you still have a part of them with you. Thank you Love Keep Create!
