So many  people have special pieces of clothing which they really struggle to part with when they lose a loved one.  Here at LoveKeepCreate we take those precious items and transform them in to a range of keepsake quilts, cushions, blankets and stuffed animals.  It is often not until we have lost someone very much loved that we realise how sentimentally attached we are to some of their clothing.  There seem to be particular items that they wore a lot, or wore on certain occasions, that can evoke incredibly strong memories and feelings.

For families who have tragically lost children and babies this can be particularly poignant and unfortunately we deal quite regularly with the clothing of the most precious angel babies.  Very often these families may only have one tiny item or blanket and that piece of clothing is completely irreplaceable for them.  Many families will want to keep the clothes completely intact, but for some, the idea of being able to turn it in to a keepsake bear or other keepsake item really appeals.  It gives them an option where they can have the same clothing utilised in a really tactile way.  There are also ways in which items can be specially adapted for lost loved ones.  Quite a few times now we have made pockets in the back of our bears for ashes to be held in and some of our keepsake animals can also be weighted to babies’ birth weights.
We understand that for any of our customers it can be really hard parting with such important pieces of clothing and we always handle them sensitively.  Customers choose whatever item they like on our website and have a wide range of options they can add, such as embroidered names and dates of birth, or other messages, sizes and can even have their keepsake animal weighted to the birth weight of their baby.  Once people have ordered they receive a confirmation email with postage instructions – we always recommend people post the items to use via a signed for delivery service – and we send an email to people to let them know when their parcel arrives with us safely.  Here at LoveKeepCreate we really pride ourselves on the special service we offer and we think that shines through in the quality of our items and in our customer service.  Customers regularly get in touch with special requests, which we always try to accommodate and the remnants of material can be requested to be returned with the final item.  At the end of the day each item is unique and special.
