Handmade Memory Bears in Cornwall — Made with Love, Biscuits, and a Dash of Chaos

Hi, I’m Lauren 🧵

I’m the tea-fuelled, slightly chaotic, proudly Cornish maker behind Twins and Tub — where I turn sentimental clothing into handmade memory bears and keepsakes, stitched with love right here in Penzance, Cornwall.

It all started with a sewing machine, a biscuit tin, and a pile of baby grows I couldn’t let go of. Fast-forward a few years, and this little business has grown into something really special, helping families across Cornwall and the UK turn their most meaningful clothes into keepsakes they’ll treasure forever.

I work from home (surrounded by chaos and cuddly toys), and every single item I make is full of character, charm, and your story in every seam.

Thanks for being here. If you're ready to get started, have a browse through the ‘Keepsakes’ page or pop me a message just here.

Whether it’s a baby’s first outfit, a school uniform, a shirt from someone you love, or something too precious to part with — I’ll help you keep those memories close, in the form of a lovingly handmade bear or cuddly keepsake.
