Category: NEW BUTTONS

Here are three more buttons which I bought recently in Melbourne.

One is of brass with black enamel, one a fawn pierced plastic and the final one is of orange plastic with black swirly lines on it.  How modern they look.

This button is quite large at just under 3  1/2cm.   It reminds me of the stone Tiger’s Eye.  It is of some type of plastic and set into a metal rim and has a metal loop shank inset into the back.  I think it is a smart button.

Here is another new button which I bought at Jimmy Buttons recently.  It is very striking with the black and clear glass combination set in white metal.  It would look great on a plain fabric, especially evening wear.  It has a metal loop shank.

I purchased these two buttons in The Button Shop, Malvern this week.  They are both black plastic imitating the black glass buttons from the 1900’s.  What a great copy they are!

Here are two more cards of Geometric  designed buttons bought new in 2008.

I find the colours so striking and effective.  How they would stand out on a garment.  To me they just look great on the cards.

BEUTRON  BUTTONS  ON  CARDS

I bought these carded buttons new in 2007 – 8.  As can be seen they were made for Beutron in Thailand.

The geometric designs and colours grabbed me and they were a must have!!  They are sew through buttons and measure 3  1/2cm.  They are very good marketing with the buttons standing out on their black and white cards.

Made in China for Lincraft, I purchased this set of spotty wooden buttons in 2017.  How colourful are they and wouldn’t they look great on the appropriate garment, probably something plain.

This is a large button measuring 5 cm and is rather striking with the black lace embedded in the middle.  The plastic is clear allowing the black to show through nicely.  I wonder what sort of garment you would use it on?

These two new buttons have a “stonelike” appearance to me.  It is amazing what effects can be achieved with various forms of plastic.

They have a rough textured look and feel like something natural.  I show the back of the darker one.  They are sew throughs and measure 2 cm.

These “new” buttons have been bought in shops in the last 10-12 years and I keep them together in a box marked so.

The two cream coloured plastic buttons are rather quaint with their modern stylized cat pictures on them.  They are a little over 2  1/2cm and are sew through buttons.
