About Buttons and Things Co
Buttons and Things Co is a specialist button studio based in Carbis Bay, Cornwall.
Founded by Lou, the studio is dedicated to sourcing beautifully made buttons for garments that deserve considered finishing details. What began as a love of well-crafted fastenings has grown into a carefully curated collection serving knitters, dressmakers, designers and costume professionals.
Every button is selected with proportion, quality and real garment use in mind. From horn and resin to glass, metal and distinctive vintage pieces, the focus is always on clarity of sizing and thoughtful design.
Supporting Serious Makers
Buttons and Things Co supplies individual makers across the UK and internationally, alongside film and television productions, theatre costume departments and independent designers.
Professional buyers value clear specifications, transparent sizing in millimetres, lignes and inches, and prompt dispatch — whether sourcing a single set for a cardigan or coordinating quantities for production work.
Studios and designers are welcome to get in touch for sourcing enquiries or coordinated orders.
Our Approach
Buttons are never an afterthought.
They frame a cardigan properly.
They balance a jacket front.
They complete a garment with intention.
Each collection is presented with garment-led descriptions to support planning and decision-making. Many customers choose all their buttons at once so everything is ready when the making begins — and it’s a lovely way to make the most of flat rate postage.
Fast dispatch from Cornwall. One flat postage rate. International shipping welcome.
