Sibling buttons

Sibling buttons

When you open a pack of our hardwood buttons, you’re not just getting a product — you’re meeting a family.

Each button in a pack is carefully made from the same piece of wood, which means they share the same grain, the same colour tones, and the same story. But if you look closely, you’ll notice subtle differences: a curl in the grain here, a darker streak there, a variation in figure or hue. These aren't flaws — they're personality. They're what make our buttons siblings rather than clones.

We believe that these tiny variations are what make handmade goods so special. Machine-made buttons from synthetic materials aim for uniformity — but nature doesn’t. Wood is wonderfully wild. Even within the same board, you’ll find surprises: a ripple of chatoyance, a knot that tells a story, or a warmth in tone that deepens with age. We lean into that beauty.

That’s why our buttons are perfect for makers who want every detail to count. Whether you’re finishing a cardigan, a handwoven pouch, or a lovingly sewn dress, you get the satisfaction of knowing each button is uniquely itself, but still part of a cohesive whole.

Just like siblings.
