Description
Turn meaningful clothing into a one-of-a-kind keepsake with our Memory Monkey. 🤍
Each Memory Monkey is lovingly handcrafted from the clothing you provide, preserving favorite fabrics, prints, and special details in a keepsake made just for you.
With its long arms and legs and sweet, playful design, every Memory Monkey has its own unique personality shaped by the clothing and memories behind it. The hands feature Velcro closures, allowing them to fasten together.
Each Memory Monkey takes approximately 2–6 weeks to complete, depending on the season and level of customization.
To ensure your keepsake is completed within this timeline, please send your clothing within 14 days of placing your order. Orders received after this timeframe may require additional processing time.
(Size may vary slightly due to the handmade nature of this keepsake.)
This item is intended as a keepsake and is not a toy.
For decorative and sentimental purposes only.
Not intended for children under 14.

Please note: We are not responsible for lost or delayed packages once shipped.
💛 Clothing Guide 💛
For a Memory Monkey, we recommend sending 11–14 pieces of baby clothing to ensure we have enough fabric to work with.
Please note that materials which cannot be cut with fabric scissors—such as leather, thick vinyl, raincoat material, or very thick fabrics—are not suitable for Memory Monkeys. Extremely stretchy fabrics, such as swimsuits, are also not recommended.
Very thin or see-through fabrics may be too delicate to use on their own, but may still be able to use them as accent or layered details depending on the material.
Pants do not count as one full clothing piece due to their narrow shape, but you are still very welcome to include them, as small sections can sometimes be used for certain parts of the monkey.
If the clothing consists of preemie or newborn sizes only, please include 2–3 additional pieces, as these garments are smaller and provide less usable fabric.
For adult clothing, the following is generally recommended:
- 2–3 pieces for standard adult-sized garments
-
3–5 pieces if the clothing runs very small
If the clothing provided is not sufficient, we may use a plain white fabric to complete your Memory Dog.
Any clothing not used in the creation of your Memory monkey, along with larger leftover fabric pieces and meaningful scraps, will be carefully returned to you with your finished keepsake monkey. 🤍
💛 Embroidery Placement – Please Note 💛
Due to the smaller size of the monkey’s feet, names, dates, birth details, or other personalized embroidery will not be placed on the feet.
Embroidery placement will be carefully selected based on the fabric patterns, clothing layout, and overall design of your Memory Monkey.
Depending on the design, embroidery may be placed on the body, back of the head, or back of the monkey, wherever it fits best and complements the finished keepsake.
Final embroidery placement will be determined during the design process.
💛 Birth Weight Add-On – Please Note 💛
The maximum weight available is 7lb 7 oz.
This item is intended as a keepsake and is not a toy.
The weight is created using securely enclosed steel shot pellets.

⚠️Weight Disclaimer
Different scales may give slightly different readings due to normal variations in calibration. Every effort is made to create your weighted keepsake as accurately as possible, and the finished weight is verified on our scale before shipping. Due to differences between scales, a slight variation in weight readings may occur and does not indicate a defect in the keepsake.
How to Send Your Baby Clothes for Keepsake
Please make sure all clothing is clean before sending it to us, so we can properly receive and handle your items.
📦 Place the clothing directly into the package you’ll be mailing, and include a small note with your order number and name inside.

👉 Please note: sometimes the name on the shipping label is different from the name on the order. To avoid any confusion, kindly include a note indicating who the clothing belongs to and the corresponding order number.
This helps ensure your precious clothing never gets mixed up with another customer’s items, and that every keepsake is created with the correct order and memories. 🤍
