On memory bears, quilts and custom work
"Kim turned my grandmother's clothes into 5 beautiful memory bears for our family!! The bears turned out even more special than I imagined. Every bear feels like a little piece of Bubba is still with us. The fabric, the stitching, all of it done with so much love and attention to detail. If you're looking for someone to turn a loved one's clothing into something you'll cherish forever, this is the person to trust with it!"
Kristen Garrett
"When my last baby outgrew her smallest onesies and I wanted a 'Mama' sweatshirt made, I brought these very special pieces of fabric to Kim to craft 'mama', 'daddy' and a slew of grandparents, great aunt, and uncle pieces for my whole family for Christmas. She has great attention to detail, an eye for color / color combinations, and is a trustworthy person. I have seen her quilts in-person, they're gorgeous. I would give her a thousand stars if I could."
Shannon McDonald, Google Local Guide
"Kim is the best person you could meet! Goes above and beyond to assist and design exactly what you are looking for. Clothing is top line and great quality. Jewelry is the best I have found. Her custom items are stitched with love and precision. Best boutique I have shopped at in years."

"We are SO pleased with our purchase, the quality is superb and the time that has gone into the pieces made is mind blowing. Thank you for your dedication to every small and large piece!"

On the shop itself
"Krafty Bandit is one of those special little shops you're so glad you found. It's a family-run boutique packed with treasures, boutique clothing and trendy denim like Judy Blue, sterling silver and fashion jewelry, candles, local honey, leather goods, and the most beautiful handmade quilts. What really sets them apart is the custom work: they'll turn a loved one's clothing into a keepsake memory bear or quilt, and you can feel the care in every stitch."

"Don't pass up this little shop in Lower Speers right next to the Speers Street Grill. So cute! There's a great selection of unique clothing items as well as basic, traditional styles in all sizes. The gift shop is full of pretty little things and also carries an assortment of beautiful leather goods for him and her. My favorite was the essential oils selection and the many different flavored honeys available for sale."
