Our approach
Why choose us
Honest advice
We talk plainly about ring, thread and pattern, so you know what you are getting.
The old patterns
We work the old Dorset patterns as they were made, kept alive by hand.
Your colours and pattern
We work each button in your colours and pattern, so it suits the work.
Good thread
We work with good thread you can see and feel, chosen for colour and to last.
Worked by hand
Every button is worked over a ring in thread by hand, in the traditional way, not stamped out.
