Review for: A Simple Memory Bear made with one shirt
My gut said, this is not a scam. Felt even better after I placed first order because of the quick and personal response. Ordered 11 total - sight unseen - my amazing son’s clothes. He died 18 months ago. I was nervous about shipping clothes. Nervous I was going to be disappointed. The end result is more than I ever expected. My family is going to love them and unsure how I am going to be able to wait until Christmas. 12/10 recommend.
Review for: A Simple Memory Bear made with one shirt
I had four memory bears made from my Dad’s special clothes, and they came out beautifully. The team paid close attention to every note I included, and each bear truly reflects the memories tied to those pieces. My mom, who was so close to my dad, absolutely treasures her bear. She named it Teddy after him, and she tells me every single day how much she loves it. The craftsmanship is beautiful. The bears are well‑made, arrived earlier than expected, and the leftover fabric was returned neatly. Everything felt thoughtful and respectful. I would absolutely recommend this company. They are professional, talented, and clearly understand how meaningful these keepsakes are. I love our bears — they truly brought my dad’s memories back to life.
Review for: The Original Memory Bear
Old clothes wear just sitting in a box holding so much meaning. Now they are given has a gift holding sweat and honor from the person who wear them. I only wish I would have asked for the hoodie part be attached to the bear also. Thank you
