A beautifully cuddly way to turn your most precious memories into something you can treasure forever. The Classic Bear is a lovely, timeless shape that sits beautifully, making it perfect for displaying on a shelf, a bed, in a nursery or in a special memory corner. I can make your bear look just like it’s wearing a shirt, complete with a collar and even a cute little pocket. For an extra-special touch, I can add a tie too! Your Classic Bear can be made from so many special pieces of clothing, each one bringing its own memories to life. Perhaps it could be made from a school uniform, keeping those wonderful school-day memories close. Or from a favourite shirt, complete with its original collar and pocket, keeping those familiar little details forever. I can also create a beautiful keepsake from baby’s first clothes, those tiny outfits that are so precious but quickly outgrown. Imagine turning those special little clothes into a cuddly bear that you can hold onto forever. I can even use baby’s Christmas clothes, creating a beautiful keepsake to capture those magical first Christmas memories. Every bear is made from clothing that holds a special story, making each one completely unique and personal. A beautiful way to keep those precious memories close, always.
Every garment is different. If you’re unsure whether you have enough fabric, or whether a particular item will work, send Laura a photo and she’ll advise you.
Ask Laura before orderingYour order number is how Laura matches the parcel you send to your keepsake, so keep it handy. You can also browse recent work or read customer reviews before you order.
Once payment clears you’ll see where to send your clothing.
Pack it securely with your order number inside. Tracked postage is best.
Laura emails you when your parcel arrives. The 6–10 week estimate starts from then.
Finished UK orders are posted back by tracked delivery, and you’ll get the tracking number by email.
It depends on the design and on the clothing itself. If you’re not sure, send Laura a photo before ordering. Please send clothing clean, and only send pieces you’re happy to have cut and permanently altered.
Making currently takes around 6–10 weeks from the day Laura receives your clothing. It’s an estimate rather than a fixed date. You pay to post your clothing; finished UK orders come back by free tracked delivery.
Yours will be the same design as the photos, but the type of fabric, its pattern, age, wear and any marks will all show in the finished keepsake.
Because each keepsake is made to order from your clothing, the usual right to cancel for a change of mind doesn’t generally apply. Your statutory rights if something is faulty or not as described are not affected. Read returns and cancellations.
