Mother of Pearl Button Ivory - 9 mm

Introduction

The mother of pearl button is an essential element of tailoring creations, valued for its durability and understated aesthetic. Made from the iridescent inner layer of mollusc shells, this 100% natural button is composed of calcium carbonate and organic matter. Each piece is precision-cut, offering a smooth surface and uniform quality, while retaining the subtle variations inherent to mother of pearl.

Usage tips

These buttons are particularly suited to the finishing of high-end and bespoke tailoring pieces. The small sizes (9-12 mm) are ideal for shirts, blouses, tops and fine waistcoats, while the intermediate sizes (15-18 mm) are suitable for dresses and cuffs. Buttons of 20 mm and above are intended for jackets and coats. The precise piercing of these buttons ensures secure attachment on any type of fabric, from cotton to wool.

Additional information

Mother of pearl is an organic material that may show variations in colour, texture and sheen. To ensure visual consistency on a single project, we advise ordering all required buttons in a single order. Mother of pearl is sensitive to impact and aggressive chemicals, so we recommend handling the pieces with care when sewing them on and when caring for the garments.
