This card of buttons under the brand La Petite was bought for me in 2012 in USA by my friend Olwyn. They were made in Italy and are quite pretty with a pearly finish and a gold scrolly trim on the side.

Here is a rather unusual plastic button with a red background and highly domed shape. It is set in a metalized plastic outer and has a daffodil type floral ornamentation in gold.

Here are three Celluloid buttons in a lovely purple colour which is a bit different to the popular earthy colours of the day i.e. the 1930’s. They are four hole sew through type. The card is a reproduction and not relevant to the buttons.

Here is another Celluloid backed button in a tan colour. It has a metal disc in the centre resembling cut steels. It has a decorative border, japanned back and metal loop shank and measures 3 cm.

Here is a Fashionwise buttons original card showing four black glass buttons. They have a gold lustre and a pale green pattern on them. They measure 2 1/2cm and have a self shank. The card states Foreign but I do not know in which country they were made.

This group of four Confetti button cards were bought in 2016 and were made in Thailand. They are very bright and colourful with geometric patterns. They were also produced for Blumenthal Lansing Co. of USA which has been operating since the late 1800’s.

These metal buttons are all made in Italy for La Mode brand. I bought the realistic flower buttons in 2014 and they are very good quality. The other card I bought in 2017 and they are a lovely design divided into four sections with a flower in each.

These two buttons are of the same design but with different background colours. I think the design has been etched into them by laser and coloured black. They come from 2009 and are quite showy.

These buttons are made under the brand La Mode. The large fabric covered one was made in China. It has a simple but striking pattern in black, grey , white and yellow. The gold one which resembles a black glass button with a gold lustre was made in Italy. It is metalized plastic and is a good example of how plastic can replicate other materials. They are modern buttons.

These are Latest Style buttons on their original card and were made in USA. They are of white plastic and of an open floral design and were bought in USA in 2012 for me by my friend Olwyn.
