About Memories By Bambola

Where Precious Memories Are Transformed Into Forever Keepsakes


Every Stitch Tells a Story

At Memories By Bambola, we believe that fabrics carry powerful emotions and cherished stories. Whether it’s a baby’s first blanket, a beloved parent’s favorite shirt, a treasured wedding dress — or even a beloved pet’s blanket or favorite toy — each piece holds memories that deserve to be preserved.

Our mission is to lovingly handcraft custom memory bears, bunnies, and stuffed animals from your most meaningful garments — transforming them into beautiful keepsakes you can hold, hug, and treasure forever.

 

Meet the Heart Behind Memories By Bambola

Hello, I’m Slavia — founder and artisan behind Memories By Bambola.

My journey with teddy bears began years ago in Colombia, where I studied Industrial Design and worked in a teddy bear factory. There, I fell in love with the art of transforming simple materials into beloved companions.

In 2016, my husband Ricardo and I moved to Miami’s Brickell area, where I established my workshop. Today, I design and sew each keepsake by hand — crafting teddy bears and stuffed animals from scratch, or reimagining your favorite models using sentimental clothing, pet blankets, and even cherished pet toys.

Ricardo manages the behind-the-scenes magic: administrative tasks, seamless communication, and careful shipping — so that every order is handled with the love and respect your memories deserve.


What Makes Memories By Bambola Special?

  • 🧡 100% handcrafted by me — each memory plush is made with love and skill

  • ♻️ Eco-conscious — I repurpose your cherished fabrics and use recycled stuffing

  • ✨ One-of-a-kind designs — no two memory bears or animals are the same

  • 🐾 Inclusive of pet keepsakes — I lovingly create memory bears and plush animals from pet blankets and toys, honoring the special bond you shared

  • 🤝 Trusted by families around the world to handle their most meaningful garments and keepsakes
