Memory bags

Clothing plays an important part in family histories – particularly when it comes to remembering family members who may no longer be around. It can be hard to remove treasured pieces such as coats that belonged to loved ones from our cupboards even if they aren’t our style, don’t fit, look a bit motheaten or are just taking up precious space; the memories associated with them are far too important.

However, we’ve found a solution to this which is good for the planet, frees up space in your wardrobe and enables you to remember your loved one in a creative, practical, beautiful way – memory bags!

We turn pre-loved leather, suede and sheepskin coats into bespoke bags that you can use every day.  Working with you we incorporate your favourite details of the garment into the design – pockets, belts, buttons – they can all be reused.

Our most popular style of memory bag is a tote – a roomy, practical bag ideal for everyday use as this enables as much of the coat as possible to be incorporated, but we can make smaller bags too.  We can also create a bag out of stock leather and then use parts of your garment in the design – for example, the front section could be made from your coat.

It’s a lovely thing to do, and means that you can carry a memento of your loved one with you wherever you go. 

They truly are bags full of love.

Please get in touch if you would like us to help you turn precious memories into your own wonderful bag for life.
