From the cherished fabrics of yesteryears, we craft Omoide Kuma bears that are more than mere playthings. They are guardians of memories, each bear cradling the essence of your dear ones. These memory bears serve as a comforting, tactile reminder of the past, a soft embodiment of presence and warmth.
Omoide Kuma
As of now we only have one size offering for our Omoide Kuma. Our bear measures around 18 inches from base to top.
Every Omoide Kuma is uniquely tailored, made from the personal fabrics you provide, from baby clothes to grandpa’s favorite shirt. This personal touch turns each bear into a one-of-a-kind memento.
We will carefully deconstruct the provided garments, preserving important features such as patches, and other unique fabric patterns. These elements are then thoughtfully incorporated into the bear’s design, ensuring that each Omoide Kuma tells its own story.
With attention to detail at the forefront, each bear is constructed with durability and care, ensuring it can be cherished and passed down through generations.
Ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, or as a comforting gift in times of loss, the Omoide Kuma is a heartfelt way to show love and remembrance.
Each Omoide Yume includes a free 2 by 3 inches custom embroidery. You may choose to embroider name, birth details, or a special message as long as it fits the maximum dimensions.
Client may customize which part of the bear gets a certain clothing. Clothing requirement may vary between baby and adult sized clothing. Its okay to send more clothing than what we suggested to diversify the palette of the bear.
For Newborn: 8 to 10 pcs of clothing
For Older Child: 4 to 6 pcs of clothing
