What happened to it? / I want one made from someone's clothes

Memory bears made from someone's clothes

This is a making job rather than a repair, and it is a different set of people. The thing worth asking before you post anything is what happens to the fabric that is left over, because most of it will not be used and it is usually irreplaceable.

Who we ruled out for this, and why

12 of the 108 are listed on this site and are deliberately not above. Ruling somebody out is a claim, so here is each one with the reason, and you can disagree with it.

  • Works through your insurer after a fire or a flood, and invoices the claim. There is no way to hire them directly

Questions people ask

How many repair shops can make a memory bear from clothing?
96 of the 108 we hold in the United States could take this on, and 12 could not. Every one of them is named on this page, including the ones we ruled out and why. Across both countries we have read 185 businesses in total, so if you have seen a bigger number quoted somewhere, that is the one.
What does it cost?
Weighted, memorial and memory work: $75-$89, from 2 published prices. What a full restoration actually costs: $300-$450, from 1 published price. All read from repair shops' own public pages in August 2026, across 33 individual prices from 7 businesses. Most of this trade publishes nothing at all.
Will they insure it while they have it?
Almost certainly they have not said. Of every repair shop we have read in both countries, two have written anything down about losing or damaging an item. Nobody has been asked the question directly, including by us. Ask before you send anything you could not replace, and get the answer in writing.
