Button Logic 1

I. Button History Information

Back in the early days of fashion, buttons were predominantly made from natural products, formed from animal horn, ivory, bone, wood, stone or shell. Thru the years, as sophisticated manufacturing technology has advanced, designers have many options in their selection of trimmings. Although natural products still hold a strong place in the market, synthetic materials simulating natural looks, dominate today’s garments. Contained here within, we will offer a pictorial of the different button products available in today’s marketplace. Please visit our product line Section of our web site, for full presentations of these materials.
