Buttons - Unsung Hero


The lowly button: neglected and taken for granted until it goes missing. It deserves more. Not only is it functional, but it is decorative too. There is at least one store that gives it its due respect and deals exclusively in it. Buttons in all kinds of shapes, sizes and materials; 9,000 styles to be exact.

Me, I like my buttons round, with four holes please, made of a natural material, and attached by hand.


Black suit buttons: Perfect company to hand-sewn buttonholes.
