Memory Bears

Keepsakes By Kelsey

Specialising in bespoke Memory Bears and Memorial Jewellery.

Memory Bears can be a wonderful way to display and cherish sentimental garments.

Whether this is following the loss of someone dear, your child's first clothes, school or work uniforms, wedding attire etc.

Each Memory Bear is crafted with the utmost respect and attention to detail, giving those sentimental fabrics and memories a new lease of life that can be on view and appreciated.

Whether you prefer our standard Bear design, or perhaps something a bit different, such as a Highland Cow, Unicorn, Gorilla, Duck, Bunny, Dog or Cat.

We also offer Cushions, as well as Mini Hanging Hearts or Butterflies, perfect for larger families who wish to each have individual keepsakes.


Please feel free to browse the Gallery to view all of our Memory Animal choices, as well as images of past client commissions.

All of our Memory Animals are additionally lined with a woven cotton to increase the stability and strength of the fabrics.

Quirks of the original garments can often be included to keep as many of your memories as possible. This can include original buttons, collars, bows or ribbons and badges/motifs.

Clients are welcome to select the placements of each garment and design their Memory Animal to meet their own vision. Alternatively, you can leave it in our capable hands to do what we do best.

There is often a waiting list for Memory Animals. Please contact Keepsakes By Kelsey to enquire about our availability or to book a sewing slot.

Please note that Memory Animals are intended to be sentimental display items. They are NOT TOYS, and should not be given to children under the age of 14 years.
