Custom Buttons

Rectangle Button

Introduction

The button seems like a seemingly innocuous design detail but it is a very important detail nevertheless.

History of the Buttons

When buttons were first invented they were used only as ornamentation and had no functionality. The first discovered buttons were 5000 years old and were excavated from the Indus Valley Civilization, made of curved shells. The button came into its own in the Middle Ages and then in the 13th century when it started serving to hold together clothes as they were made more tightly fitting to accentuate the lines of the body. This is also when buttonholes were invented. In fact, in France in 1250 the first button makers' guild was formed and buttons were considered so ornamental that their use was limited by the placement of sumptuary laws. When George Washington’s first presidential campaign ran it used campaign buttons among the general populace to advertise support for his political party.

Today’s button making is a far cry from the initial craft that gave birth to it. Substances like bone and horn have been replaced for the most part, perhaps permanently by imitations that may look like bone but do not come from the remains of a living creature. We do continue to emulate our ancestors, however, in our use of wood, metals, and cloth for making buttons along with the new addition of plastic.
