Classic Keepsake Bear

(33 customer reviews)

Made in memory of beloved family member (Mum, Dad, Grandad, Grandma, Husband, Wife, Son or Daughter) those bears can feature single or multiple items, replicating the style of your relative whenever possible – a jumper worn over a shirt, collar and a tie, casual polo shirt and jeans, pyjamas, dressing gown, skirt, blouse, dress, favourite sportswear, smart suit, a jacket or a uniform. Handmade with lots of love and truly unique, they help remember your loved ones “as they were” and can be enjoyed by both, adults and children alike*.

The bears are available in two sizes – small (23-25 cm sitting) and large (30-32 cm sitting).For details regarding clothing requirements please see the “Description” box below.

 

These keepsakes can be made from single or multiple items. If sending multiple items, please indicate if you have any specific instructions of how you would like the items to be used. Cardigans, jumpers, jackets, are used to make the bear’s tummy and arms so it looks as close as possible to a human cardigan, jumper or jacket and are not removable. Skirts and dresses are also not removable. I can also make removable garments; however this will be at an extra cost, except for resizing a scarf or a tie which is free of charge.

  • The bear can be made entirely out of ties or scarves if those are the only items you have left.

Sizes:

Small – 23-25cm sitting – at least one adult garment, but feel free to send more if you would like several items to be featured in your bear. If you only have ties or scarves, please send at least 5 ties or 2 scarves

Large – 30-32 cm sitting – at least one adult garment, but feel free to send more if you would like several items to be featured in your bear. If you only have ties or scarves, please send at least 8 ties or 3 scarves.

The below bears are only an example of what can be achieved with your loved one’s clothes.

Your bear may vary in design depending on the clothes provided and any specific requirements.

*The bears are keepsakes, not toys. They can be made for children to remember their loved ones, hug them when they need comfort, however, are not suitable to play with them.

Price range: £40.00 through £50.00

    WOW! Magda is truly amazing. We had 6 bears & a bag made out of our beloved son’s clothes. They are superb, were made up with these & can’t wait to present these to our grandchildren. Thank you so much Magda, these will bring up so much happiness. Highly recommend anybody that is looking to have some bespoke memory keepsakes made……Magda is a master at her craft xxxx💕🧸

    I cannot recommend Magda more highly. From start to finish her communication and customer service have been fantastic. Magda made five bears for me, one for each of my mum’s grandchildren and each one was perfect and so special.

    Thank you for the 13 amazing bears you made from my late mother’s clothes, my family members were so overwhelmed by the gift . There were tears and comments like “ this is the best present “ . You managed to copy my mum’s handwriting exactly too which was the icing on the cake . Ive already recommended you to my Aunt and two friends. Thank you once again 😘

    A wonderful way for the grandchildren to remember my dear mum. Four bears were made from 4 items. Magda communicated throughout the process, confirming receipt of the clothes and confirming the combination of clothes for each bear. We have received back wonderful mementoes. A few happy tears were shed when they were received. She is a very talented and caring lady. Thank you Magda.

    I had 4 handsome bears made for my 4 children by Magda. She went above and beyond to help me and followed every single detail i requested. Magda was so kind and reassuring when it came to posting out my late father’s clothes and sent me a message upon receiving them. She made them really fast and kept me updated every step of the way. I would 100% recommend Magda in the future and her quality of work is superb. I wish her every success with her business. Thank you so much Magda for all your hard work, you are incredibly talented.

    I bought a bear and pillow and they are perfect. The detail and care that has gone in to making them is something I have never came across before.Magda took something so special and meaningful and made it even more special.

    Magda has been wonderful and has turned my late husbands clothes into beautiful bears, a blanket and a cushion for myself and family members. All items have been beautifully made and the attention to detail is stunning. We are all thrilled with the items we have ordered. Communication throughout has been excellent and nothing was too much trouble. What a lovely lady Magda is, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her.

    As there are lots of these companies making bears its difficult to choose the right one, especially when you are entrusting your loved ones precious clothes. I eventually went with Magda after looking at her work and I was not disappointed. The finished bear is perfect, just what I had asked for. Magda herself is very friendly and tries to accommodate your requests. I would definitely use her services again. I never leave reviews but I guarantee you won't be disappointed with the finished bear.

    I had a bear made from my beloved Dad's clothes. Sending them away in the post was terrifying but I am so glad I took the risk. 'John Bear' is now my most precious possesion, there are so many memories sewn into my bear, I treasure it.

    Magda has done a wonderful job using my Grandad’s clothing to make memory bear. She kept in contact for updates through the process which was lovely. My bear arrived in beautiful condition and looks like a brand new teddy, the collar & zip up jacket was a lovely touch. I’d recommend Magda to anyone, thank you again.

    I can't praise Magda highly enough. Her bears are just perfect & she takes the time to work with you to ensure that the keepsake memory is just what you want in terms of design/features etc. Communication is always excellent & you really get the impression that she cares & understands how important the memories are. Thank you Magda!

    I would fully recommend Magda, she has made a memory bear from my Husbands Aston Villa Shirt, his BBQ apron plus also included his handwriting onto the bear. The quality of the bear is amazing, beyond my expectations .

    I can not thank Magda enough, the bear she had made is absolutely stunning and will be a treasured memory of my father. The bear exceeded all expectations and I would highly recommend. I had extras which included writing on bears feet and poem put on the back of the bear as well as separately paying for a removable jumper but it was definitely worth the money !! Magda was helpful from start to finish providing advice on how to use the clothes and I have to say she has an incredible talent ! Thank you so much

    Magda transformed my late mums clothing into keepsake bears mirroring my mums usual clothing of a blouse and hand knitted cardigan for my nieces ….. when they arrived, I loved them so much, I got another two made for my sister and I. Everyone has commented on how special they are and they can see my mum in them …..thanks so much Magda

    Magda is amazing! We requested a bear with embroidery and a printed poem in memory of a loved one and we were astonished with the results! The bear is so fantastic and when we received it there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It had exceptional detail and Magda clearly took care of the items we sent to create this bear. Magda communicated every process throughout and ensured the bear was exactly what we wanted and more! Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she worked to quickly to get this to us in time for Christmas. Magda has an incredible talent and is touching so many hearts with her beautiful creations. I cannot recommend her enough. If anyone is contemplating memory creations then please choose Magda and her beautiful creations! We cannot thank you enough Magda

    This is the second time we have used Magada for memory bears and we are always blown away by her work. The bears are absolutely perfect and really repress the family members that we sent clothes from. Magda is so detailed and takes special care of the items. She is incredibly talented and does an amazing job. We cannot thank her enough. Made and delivered in a quick time and excellently priced for the work. We would highly recommend Magda to anyone considering a memory keepsake. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    I put my trust in Magda making me a bear of my grandma and Madga didn't disappoint, when Magda recieved my clothes she messaged me asking what I would like the bear to look like. All the details I asked for were put on the bear and the fine details were just outstanding. Magda is a very talented lady and communication is excellent. When I recieved my bear it was perfect a very, very happy ciustomer and would highly recommend.

    Magda has turned by dad's clothes into the most beautiful keepsake. I cannot praise this woman enough. The attention to detail, the quick replies when I contacted her, she cannot do enough for you. The 2 bears I order are just stunning, I cry every time I think about them. A little bit of dad is now in my home forever. I am giving the 2nd one to mum for Christmas, it will be hard not to show her it between now and then. I am so impressed I am ordering 4 more for my daughters Christmas presents. We are all going to sobbing Christmas 2023. Thank you Magda you are a truly talented woman. ❤️
