FAQs

Are these buttons machine washable?

Yes, they are designed for standard home garment care. Refer to the packaging for specific temperature guidelines.

Can I use these on heavy denim?

These buttons are intended for delicate and light-to-medium weight fabrics. They are not recommended for heavy-duty applications like thick denim or canvas.

Do the buttons all look identical?

Because they are made from genuine mother of pearl, there may be slight natural variations in the texture and surface of each button.

Is the sky blue color fade-resistant?

The buttons are dyed for colorfastness, but keeping them in the provided protective box helps prevent UV-related fading when stored.

How many buttons are included?

Each retail pack contains 7 individual buttons.

What is 18 Ligne?

Ligne is a traditional unit of measurement used in the button industry; 18 Ligne is equivalent to 11.25mm.

Troubleshooting

Button thread keeps snapping

Ensure you are using an appropriate thread weight for the garment and not pulling the stitches too tightly against the shell material.

Button does not fit through the buttonhole

Verify that your buttonhole size matches the 11.25mm diameter; if the buttonhole is too small, consider re-sewing the buttonhole to the correct specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of these buttons, always use a sharp, thin needle to prevent unnecessary stress on the button's shank holes during attachment.

Compatibility

Fabrics: Best for light-to-medium weight woven fabrics.
Tools: Compatible with standard sewing machine button-sewing attachments or standard hand-sewing needles.

Care Instructions

Washing: Always follow the specific washing instructions found on the original packaging.
Maintenance: Store the buttons in their provided clip-top box when not in use to avoid scratches, as mother of pearl is a natural material that can be susceptible to surface scuffing if stored loosely with other hardware.
Environment: Avoid leaving these buttons in direct, intense sunlight for extended periods to preserve the depth of the sky blue dye.
