Original Metal Buttons

Original Metal Buttons

This metal button is a modern reproduction inspired by buttons actually made in Europe during the 1920s. With a diameter of 11.0mm, it is finished slightly smaller than the original from that era. However, its substantial texture and presence faithfully inherit the unique atmosphere possessed by buttons from 100 years ago.

Furthermore, this button goes beyond a simple reproduction; it was crafted with an awareness of harmonizing with the clothing culture of that time. For instance, stripe fabrics identical to those made 100 years ago were recreated for the modern era, and the button's color tone was adjusted to complement shirts tailored from that fabric. Darker buttons specifically feature a rust finish, expressing the worn, aged patina of the era.

Through such thoughtful design, these buttons evoke the atmosphere of a century past, allowing one to experience the harmony woven by the materials and colors. Rather than merely imitating past designs, they represent a single piece born from the exploration of how to convey the context and aesthetic sensibilities of that era to the present day.


This is an original metal button from around the 1920s


The rustic patina seen on buttons from the 1920s is a unique texture born from aging, and its deep, rich appearance is a major charm.
