Buttonmania Services

Serv-coloured


Vegetable Ivory is a type of button material that is from the seed of the South American palm (Corozo nut). The nut is dried, sliced and shaped to the desired shape then turned into a button by applying a shank or button holes. Vegetable Ivory is recognisable by its graining, and was widely used and available up until the end of the First World War. It is now available at Buttonmania, and can be ordered by contacting us.

Buttonmania has acquired a wide selection of vegetable Ivory buttons suitable for dyeing. Dyeing can be arranged by us in your chosen colour. Vegetable Ivory’s organic nature makes it most desirable for wools, linens and knitwear.

To find out more about this unique service, please send us an enquiry via our contacts page and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
