Sewing Notions & Hardware from the Archive
Not everything in a button archive is a button. This collection opens the hardware drawer: duffle toggles, belt and jacket buckles, kilt pins, brooches, zipper charms and cord locks — the notions that finish garments and bags.
Vintage hardware carries the same advantage as vintage buttons: dies and finishes nobody makes anymore, in unused condition. Every listing is sized and photographed like the rest of the archive.
Sewing Notions & Hardware — Questions, Answered
What counts as a sewing notion?
The fasteners and finishers beyond buttons — toggles, buckles, pins, snaps, hooks and decorative hardware. This collection is the archive's full hardware range.
Do you have duffle coat toggles?
When in stock, they're here — vintage toggles in horn-look and wood-look finishes. Ask the Button Finding Service about unlisted stock.
Are the kilt pins functional?
Fully — vintage kilt pins in nickel and gold finishes, strong enough for kilts and handsome enough for shawls and bags.
Can brooches be worn as jewellery?
Absolutely — vintage clothing brooches straddle sewing and jewellery; many customers buy them purely to wear.
