Handmade bespoke memory bears, cushions, blankets and keepsakes made from garments with special memories and vintage fabrics.

Turning something old disused into something beautiful & useful again really makes sense.Each year we throw away tons of stuff that could be made into something else. Here at Retro bears I'm driven by the idea that I can make bears into one off individual pieces that look fab & raise awareness to recycling & environmental issues that seem to not be important in this clone alike big crazy cooperate world. Handmade bespoke teddy bears made from a range of vintage fabrics & buttons. Retro bears are individually made using resourced fabric & up-cycled clothing making them not only individual but eco-friendly. A products with a social conscience. It's more than recycling....it's conservation

Please note:
My bears are intended to be keepsake items and not children’s toys. They are not child tested & it is impossible to CE test these bears individually and should not be given to young children. Not only are there small parts attached but as used leather would inevitably wear over time, your bear may get tired with play & even risk ripping.

A super cute memory bear I've recently made from a dogs blanket belonging to a much missed family pet. Many of my customers deal with grief & losing a much loved pet can be just as hard as any other family member. These are a lovely way to hold them close once again. Thank you so much Michelle loved making him xx

A beautiful memory bear with matching double sided patchwork cushions made from a large selection of M**s aprons. Both cushions & memory bear have a little pocket on the front just like the aprons & a place for little keepsakes. These are my first just from aprons & I love how all the different patterns & colours have come together. Thank you so much Emma, I loved making these xx
