Mother of Pearl Button Type 3 - 9 mm

Introduction

The mother of pearl button is an essential element of tailoring creations, appreciated 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 materials. Each piece is precisely cut, offering a smooth surface and uniform quality, while preserving the subtle variations specific to mother of pearl.

Usage advice

These buttons are particularly suited for finishing high-end and bespoke tailored pieces. The small sizes (9-12 mm) are ideal for shirts, blouses and fine waistcoats, while intermediate sizes (15-18 mm) suit dresses and cuffs. Buttons of 20 mm and above are intended for jackets and coats. The precise drilling 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 can present variations in colour, texture and reflection. To ensure visual consistency on the same project, it is advisable to order all the buttons needed at once. Mother of pearl is sensitive to shocks and harsh chemicals, so it is recommended to handle the pieces with care during assembly and garment care.
