Memory Bears from Fur

Let us turn your fur coat into memory teddy bears. We have been making memory teddy bears from fur coats for over 20 years! Please visit our FAQ (found here) for more information about types of fur. Whether we are working with real fur or faux fur, each of our memory bears is crafted to last with high attention to detail.

Pricing

Each fur memory bear has jointed arms and legs, acrylic safety-lock eyes, plastic nose and comes with a satin ribbon around its neck. We try to use the lining of the coat for any scarf and accents whenever possible.

$165 (plus shipping) for a 10″-14″ memory bear
$185 (plus shipping) for a 16″ memory bear
$205 (plus shipping) for an 18″ memory bear
$235 (plus shipping) for an 20″ memory bear

NOTE: For Mouton, Fox, Raccoon, Coyote and Seal. We can’t make a teddy bear smaller than 16″. Because of the thickness of the hide or density of the long fur, these furs simply don’t work for smaller memory bears. We are not currently offering a non-jointed option in fur bears.

Add-Ons:

$20 Custom Scarf
$22 to embroider two (2) initials on one foot per bear (Because the foot pad is not that large, we are limited to two (2) initials per foot.)
$22 to embroider initials or name on scarf (I do not have a large, industrial embroidery machine so am limited to a 4″ space but I can put a name on each scarf)
$27 for a heart applique with embroidered initials or name (usually placed on the tummy)
$25 to make a vest
$10 for glasses

Shipping is $16 for the first memory bear and $6 per each additional bear. We are located in Dayton, Ohio (45402).

Additional Information

How much fur does it take to make a bear? I can usually get the following:

Standard small shoulder stole = Two 12″-14″ bears
Larger stole or small jacket = Two 14″ bears one 16″” bear
Hip-length jacket/coat = Three to four 12″-14″ bears or two 16″″ bears or one 18″ bear
Full length coat = Six 12″-14″ bears or three 16″- 18″ bears

Each bear has approximately 24 pattern pieces. If someone wants more bears from a garment, I can sometimes adapt my patterns to make smaller bears. I don’t like to work with bears less than 9″ though.
