🐚 The button
The 20mm round shell button is made entirely from natural shell sourced from Japan, with no synthetic treatments. Each button has a lustrous mother-of-pearl finish with natural reflections that shift in the light, making every piece unique in shape, colour and pattern. This button is designed for anyone seeking a natural, elegant and authentic detail for tailoring and creative sewing projects.
With a 20mm diameter and 2 thread holes, this button is perfect for tailored shirts, elegant blouses, cardigans and lightweight jackets. The shell's artisanal craftsmanship ensures strength and durability, while preserving its natural lustre even after numerous gentle washes.
🧬 Technical composition: why natural shell
Natural shell is a premium material that has been used in quality tailoring for centuries. Unlike plastic or resin buttons, shell offers an authentic mother-of-pearl lustre that cannot be artificially replicated. Its iridescent reflections range from creamy white to delicate shades of pink, blue and green, creating a refined visual effect that enhances any garment.
As a 100% biodegradable material, shell is a sustainable choice for anyone looking to reduce the environmental impact of their projects. Its Japanese origin ensures carefully selected shells and artisanal craftsmanship that respects the material's natural characteristics, preserving its strength and beauty.
📦 Size and technical details
The button has a 20mm diameter, a versatile size suitable for men's and women's shirts, elegant blouses and cardigans. Its approx. 2mm thickness ensures strength without weighing down the fabric. The 2 thread holes make it easy to sew by hand or machine, making it suitable even for those new to tailoring.
The pack contains 1 button, ideal for single replacements or for buying the exact quantity needed for your project. We recommend buying all the buttons you need in one order, as this is a natural product and each batch may have slight variations in colour and pattern.
🪡 Sewing and application
The 2 thread holes make this button easy to sew by hand or machine. For hand sewing, use strong cotton or polyester thread and pass it through the holes at least 4–5 times to ensure a secure hold. If sewing by machine, check that your button foot is compatible with the 20mm diameter.
Thanks to its natural strength, the shell button is suitable for garments that are worn and washed frequently. However, to preserve its mother-of-pearl lustre over time, we recommend avoiding harsh washing and choosing hand washing or a low-temperature machine wash (maximum 30°C) on a gentle cycle.
✨ Why choose a natural shell button
Unlike plastic or resin buttons, the natural shell button offers superior aesthetic and tactile quality. Its mother-of-pearl lustre is authentic and does not deteriorate over time like synthetic finishes. Each button is unique, with natural variations that add character and artisanal value to your garments.
Choosing a shell button means investing in a detail that makes all the difference: shirts and blouses take on a tailored, elegant look that sets them apart from mass-produced garments. And as shell is biodegradable, you also help reduce the environmental impact of your sewing projects.
🎨 What you can make
The 20mm round shell button is perfect for elegant tailoring and creative sewing projects. Use it for men's and women's shirts, summer blouses, lightweight cardigans, spring jackets and handmade accessories such as bags, belts and hats. The mother-of-pearl finish pairs beautifully with natural fabrics such as linen, cotton, silk and viscose.
👩🎨 Who it's for
This button is suitable for beginners and experienced tailors alike. Its 2 thread holes make it easy to sew by hand, even for beginners, while the quality of the material meets the needs of those working on professional tailoring projects. The shell's strength makes it ideal for everyday garments.
It's especially popular with hobbyists and craftspeople who make bespoke garments, handmade sellers looking for quality details, and anyone wanting to replace inexpensive buttons with natural, elegant alternatives. It's also perfect for personalised gifts and tailoring upcycling projects.
🧼 Maintenance and care
- WashingHand washing recommended; machine wash at max. 30°C on a gentle cycle
- BleachingDo not bleach — it can damage the natural lustre
- Spin cycleAvoid high-speed spins — air-dry instead
- DryingLay flat or hang on a hanger, away from direct heat sources
- IroningIron the garment inside out to protect the button from direct heat
- StorageStore in a dry place; avoid prolonged soaking in water
📌 Important note
As this is a natural product, each button may vary slightly in shape, color, and pattern compared to the images. These variations are intrinsic characteristics of the shell and attest to its authenticity. We recommend purchasing all the buttons you need in a single order to ensure the greatest possible consistency among pieces from the same batch. Avoid prolonged immersion in water and contact with harsh detergents to preserve the mother-of-pearl luster over time.
