Vintage Buttons for Australia Makers
Every week, orders leave the archive for tailors, quilters and costume designers across Australia. Most are hunting one of two things: an exact replacement for a button that no longer exists, or a full matched set that makes a coat, blazer or dress feel finished.
Because our stock is vintage — largely 1970s–90s overstock from closed factories and mills — every listing shows the exact quantity available, close-up photography and precise millimetre sizing, so what arrives in Australia is exactly what you saw on screen.
