The Button Dept. : Button Match Service
The Button Dept. : Button Match Service
Not sure which buttons will suit your project best? Let us do the searching for you.
Our Button Match Service takes the guesswork out of choosing buttons from our collection of vintage deadstock button cards. Simply send us details about your garment, fabric, or project, and we’ll thoughtfully curate button options that complement your work beautifully.
Pricing - please enter a new order for each project separately.
-
$10 - includes 1 button card (1-4 buttons)
-
$15 - includes 2 button cards (5-8 buttons)
-
Additional button cards are $3 each (8 or more buttons)
Depending on button size, each card may contain 2, 4, or 6 buttons. Projects requiring multiple matching cards may take additional time, as we carefully search for consistent styles, sizes, and colours across our inventory.
This service reflects the time, expertise, and care involved in colour matching, sorting through our bins, locating multiple identical cards, and pulling several options for comparison. Once complete, we’ll send you photos so you can choose your favourite match with confidence.
Let us find the perfect vintage design detail to complete your handmade projects.
The Button Dept.
Discover rare and vintage buttons from decades past, carefully sourced and thoughtfully curated. From hand-painted glass buttons to mid-century plastic buttons, each piece carries a story—crafted with artistry, designed to last, and waiting to become part of your next project.

We've added a couple new Sashiko books to our shelves recently. Simply Sashiko gives you simple but thorough lessons on the ins and outs (literally) of 36 different sashiko patterns, plus designs for stylish home and personal accessories so you can try them out.
