Material

This button is made from corozo – the hard kernel of the tagua palm seed, which grows in the rainforests of South America and is known as "vegetable ivory" for its density and colour. Because the material is plant-based, the vein pattern varies from button to button and gives the garment a lively, understated character. In a light colour the natural structure of corozo is plainly visible and gives the button a soft, warm look.

Colour and pairing

A yellow button is suitable for children's clothing, summer dresses, knitwear and sporty garments. Yellow belongs to the warm palette and brings light to the garment; it looks best next to neutral and blue tones.

A yellow button suits children's clothing, summer dresses, raincoats and spring cardigans. On denim a yellow button looks playful – suitable for children's dungarees and jackets. Pair the yellow button with white, navy and grey fabrics – that is where it shows best.

Design and details

The rim around the edge makes the button look fuller and protects the thread from wear – a classic shape for jackets, coats and trousers.

Choosing the size

On shirts, 18L (11.5 mm) is the standard for the placket, 14L–16L (9–10 mm) for button-down collars and cuffs, and 20L (12.5 mm) for heavier flannel and denim shirts. For a suit jacket choose 32L (20 mm) on the front and 24L (15 mm) on the sleeves – that way the set is in one design and one shade.

Sewing on and buttonholes

Four holes spread the load and hold the button more securely; it can be sewn with a cross stitch (X) or two parallel stitches (=). The buttonhole length is roughly the button diameter plus its thickness: 14L (9 mm) – approx. 11–12 mm; 24L (15 mm) – approx. 17–18 mm; 32L (20 mm) – approx. 22–23 mm.
