Where Nature Meets Artisan Fire

These palm nut round 2-hole buttons with scorched rim edges are unlike anything you'll find on a conventional button card.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the scorched edge finish and is it durable?

The scorched rim is created by carefully applying controlled heat to the outer edge of each palm nut button, producing a naturally darkened, charred border. This finish is permanent and does not rub off. It adds a distinctive artisan aesthetic while remaining fully functional for everyday garment use.

What is tagua palm nut and why is it considered eco-friendly?

Tagua, also known as vegetable ivory, is the seed of the South American tagua palm tree. The nuts fall naturally from the tree when ripe and are harvested without cutting the plant, making them a fully renewable and biodegradable material. Choosing tagua buttons is a sustainable alternative to plastic that supports rainforest conservation.

How do I choose the right size for my project?

11.5mm & 12mm are ideal for fine shirts, blouses, and lightweight fabrics where a small, delicate button is needed. 15mm suits mid-weight garments like dresses, skirts, and light cardigans. 18mm works well as a statement button on cardigans, jackets, and heavier knitwear. Match the button size to your existing buttonhole or the scale of your garment.

Will the color be consistent across all 20 buttons in a set?

The overall color tone will match your selected option, but because these are natural palm nut buttons, subtle variation in shade and surface texture is expected and inherent to the material. The scorched rim may also vary slightly in intensity from button to button — this natural variation is a hallmark of handcrafted quality.

How should I care for garments with these buttons?

Natural palm nut buttons are best suited to hand washing in cool water or professional dry cleaning. Avoid prolonged soaking, bleach, and tumble drying on high heat, as excessive moisture and heat can cause surface cracking or color fading over time.
