Yes. Larger pieces please - tiny off cuts are not suitable. Unfortunately, we cannot return unused material.

Materials/Leather for upholstery

Upholstery material tends to be thick and so buttons smaller than 'ligne' size 30 tend to be unsuitable. If you have a sample button, please send it with your order and we will match it as close as possible.

Check correct postage.

Please ensure the postage on your packet is correct to avoid delay and extra penalty costs borne by the post office.

We do not use automatic button making machines. All our buttons are individually hand made.

We strength-test our buttons

Some materials will cause covered buttons to 'pop'. This is due to insufficient clamping pressure or poor selection of suitable dye matching (tools). We do not suffer this problem as we use quality button moulds and we hand press and quality check each button as it is made.
