In August 2005, a pottery pill shaped like a peach core with a hole in the middle was discovered in Lintao County, Gansu Province. Experts concluded that this pottery pill was a button on clothing worn by people in ancient times. This button has a history of 4,600 years and belongs to the Qijia culture type. This is also the earliest button discovered so far in our country.
The reporter saw at the Lanzhou Majiayao Cultural Research Association that the pottery pill was about 2.5 cm in diameter and about 1 cm thick. It had a round belly and narrow sides. There was a small hole in the middle of the pottery pill for threading. The hole diameter was slightly larger than today's buttonholes. The entire pottery pill is made of muddy pottery with sand mixed in it. It is earthy yellow in color and the surface of the pottery looks rough. Wang Haidong, founder of the Gansu Provincial Painted Pottery Research Association, said that this pottery button was unearthed in Lintao County, Gansu Province and was accidentally dug up by a local farmer. According to research, this button is about 4,600 years ago, belongs to the Qijia culture type, and is made of clay. It is the only one of its kind in the country. In addition, a spinning wheel for spinning thread was unearthed with the button. The spinning wheel is 7 cm in diameter and 1.5 cm thick. There is a round hole in the middle. The handle in the round hole can be operated by fingers to spin wool. According to him, spinning wheels have been unearthed in Kangle, Guanghe and Lintao in our province, and they are all made of pottery. However, it is the first time that they have been excavated together with buttons in China.
Wang Haidong also told reporters that the spinning wheels discovered in previous archeology can prove that people already knew how to spin and weave cloth more than 4,000 years ago. The discovery of spinning wheels and buttons at the same time further confirms that people at that time were already using spinning wheels to spin threads, weaving cloth with threads, and already wearing and sewing clothes. This also shows that more than 4,000 years ago, humans had begun to use textile clothing to "dress" themselves, instead of just wearing simple clothing made of bark and animal skins to protect themselves. Experts pointed out that this discovery confirms the records of ancient human survival methods in history books and has extremely important research value. This archaeological discovery is also of extremely important value to the study of my country's painted pottery and the history of Chinese civilization.
Classification and common sense of buttons
Craft buttons cannot be processed by current automatic button-making machines, but can only be processed by manual cutting, planing, grinding, filing, etc. Become. Fine workmanship is often required, so the production efficiency is low and the processing cost is high. The product is more like a handicraft, so it is called a craft button. This kind of button has a unique and elegant shape, and is often made into the shape of natural objects, such as leaf-shaped, moon-shaped, pin-shaped, etc. The product has a high grade and has certain development potential.
Select fasteners reasonably and correctly
It is very important to choose the type of fasteners reasonably according to the characteristics of different fabrics. Due to improper selection of fasteners, it is easy to pull the fabric through or pull the fasteners off. For example, some knitted fabrics are characterized by high elasticity and greater plasticity in warp and weft density than other fabrics. You must pay attention when choosing metal fasteners. The shape of the riveting part of the fastener can be single-tube, five-claw or other geometric shapes. When using knitted fabrics, it is not easy to use single-tube riveted fasteners. When this type of fastener is opened and closed, the opening and closing force is only concentrated on the riveting point. Due to the breakdown of the fabric during riveting, and the knitted fabric itself Because of its characteristics, it is very easy to break through and pull the fasteners off, causing the fabric to be damaged. The riveting of the five-claw buckle is that the five claws are evenly distributed on a plane and circumference, and the stress state of opening and closing after being nailed is also evenly distributed. Knitted fabrics and thinner fabrics are suitable for four-piece buttons.
Opaque injection molded buttons
This type of buttons is often made by directly mixing pigments into resin for coloring and injection molding into buttons of various colors. When the batch size of buttons is large and the color has been determined before production, the method of premixing pigments is often used. The advantage of using this method is that relatively inexpensive plastics can be selected to reduce costs and facilitate injection molding. Commonly used plastics for pigment-dyed plastic buttons include polypropylene, ABS, etc. The main advantages of choosing polypropylene plastic are that the material is cheap, has low requirements on molds, has good injection molding process, and the injection molded products have excellent corrosion resistance (almost resistant to most organic solvents and acid and alkali erosion). Buttons The mechanical properties are better.
In addition to polypropylene, ABS is often used to produce colored plastic buttons, but the price of ABS is higher than that of polypropylene, and its resistance to organic solvents is worse than that of polypropylene. Generally speaking, the overall performance of ABS colored buttons is not as good as that of polyethylene, so it is not widely used.
Stone Buttons
The most popular stone buttons currently on the market are mainly marble buttons. The production of marble buttons has recently been put into mass mechanical production. Marble buttons are characterized by extremely high hardness and wear resistance; they are also resistant to high temperatures and organic solvents, and are not corroded by ordinary concentrations of acids and alkalis. Judging from the appearance of buttons, they are also very distinctive because they are decorated with various natural patterns. They can be used for special occasions and are loved by some people.
Manhattan button
This is a heat-formed, high-temperature-resistant pearlescent button, which is also a type of imitation shell button. The main types of buttons include single pearlescent, double-layered pearlescent, double-layered colorful pearlescent, etc. Buttons are made of high-quality materials and have good prices. In particular, their temperature resistance and mechanical strength are much higher than ordinary resin buttons. Therefore, they are mainly used on clothes that are frequently cleaned and easy to wear, such as shirt buttons.
Seamless buttons and functional buttons
The so-called seam-free buttons do not require seams, but are directly connected to the clothing by some additional devices on the buttons. buttons. This type of buttons has been around for a long time, with various varieties, and most of them are combination buttons, mainly used for some special occasions, and each type of button has been patented, so the use and production batch are restricted. . Functional buttons are a relatively new type of button. In addition to their function of connecting clothing, they also combine some special functions that have nothing to do with the button's shirt function, such as fragrance buttons, pharmacy buttons, etc. Luminous buttons, etc. This type of button has been patented, and its current use is not widespread, and its special functions are not obvious and long-lasting.
Glass pearlescent buttons
The characteristic of glass pearlescent buttons is that the pearlescent arrangement on the surface of the button is corrugated, the pearlescent brightness is high, and the bright spots shine like a cat's eye effect. Depending on the size of the button, the width of the corrugation is also different. The styles of various corrugated buttons vary greatly. Compared with flat pearlescent buttons, corrugated pearlescent buttons are more beautiful and lively. They are a higher-grade type of pearlescent buttons and have basically replaced flat pearlescent buttons at present.
Metal buckles
Metal buckles are generally used as accessories for denim clothing series, jacket series, and overalls series clothing. There are various styles, and they are used alone in clothing, such as adjusting Buttons, D-shaped buttons, heart-drawing buttons, etc. It can also be used with other accessories. For example, in the denim series, I-shaped buckles and gourd buckles are used together. The materials used for metal buckles include iron, copper and alloy. The processing forms include bending forming, stamping forming, and die-casting forming. Its shape and size are designed and formulated by each manufacturer. There are no unified regulations on the name of the buckle in each factory. They are generally named based on the similar shape and function of the buckle. For example, various sizes of abalone buckles, square drawstring buckles, Japanese-shaped buckles, three-line buckles, D-shaped buckles, gourd buckles, cloth elastic buckles, clip buckles, etc. are all named according to this method.
Selection of combination buttons for clothing with light fabrics
This type of clothing is mainly for summer fashion, with light texture and bright colors. The combination buttons are often made of ABS gold-plated parts. The main body is decorated with nylon inserts or epoxy resin glue, making the entire button bright in color, stable in color and light in texture. At the same time, because the button handle is made of high-strength nylon, the entire button will not break.
Simple decorative fasteners
Simple decorative fasteners generally refer to fasteners that are mainly used for decoration on clothing. Such as metal plates, claw-style decorative buckles, corsages, pins, etc. Metal plates are used in conjunction with fasteners and cloth tapes. Their sizes and shapes are ever-changing, and they can be used for decoration and high-grade trademarks. Its processing forms include stamping and die-casting, and the materials include iron, copper, alloy, etc. Claw-type decorative buckles are generally used independently, that is, they are directly fixed on the clothing to be decorated with claws to achieve the required decorative performance. Its shape and size are designed and formulated by each manufacturer, and its processing form is usually made of metal strips stamped and formed.
Abalone shell buttons
Abalone is a treasure of aquatic shellfish, and abalone shell is a good material for making buttons. The characteristics of this type of button are that the buckle surface is uneven, there are filamentous twills on the back, the color is mostly brown-red, the front shows strong purple-red, yellow-green rainbow pearlescent, thin and hard texture. Most of these buttons are double-eye buttons and open-eye buttons, which are mostly used on clothing with light texture.
Nut buttons
Nut buttons are called plant imitation ivory buttons in the button industry. Because when this nut from South America is cut, the color and texture of the cut surface are very similar to ivory. This kind of button has a very good luster after being properly polished. Due to the elegant texture of nut buttons and resource constraints, the quality of the buttons is higher than that of ordinary wooden buttons, but the price is also higher. Nut buttons are usually divided into two categories according to the different parts of the material. One type is made from the epidermal layer of nuts, and the buttons are made with brown patterns on one side; the other type is made from the heart layer of nuts, and the buttons are made with striped or concentric patterns on the surface, which is very attractive. The shaped flowers, which look like resin buttons, are difficult to distinguish without careful identification. Nut buttons can also be whitened, dyed, and often processed into eye buttons. Since nut buttons are made of plant fiber, they can absorb water and swell, and the swelling is obvious, so you need to pay attention when using them.
Engraved Buttons
Early engraved buttons mostly used mechanical lettering. The clarity of the engraved handwriting and patterns was greatly limited, especially when the engraved buttons were very fine. When using fonts or patterns, the clarity is poor. Since the development of automatic laser engraving button making machines in the early 1990s, this problem has been solved. The automatic laser engraving button making machine uses computer scanning and drawing, and can easily engrave patterns on buttons no matter how complex they are. At the same time, the laser beam used for engraving can be as thin as a few tenths of a millimeter, so even extremely fine writing or strokes can be clearly engraved. In the clothing industry, many manufacturers often require their company's logo, logo, trademark or other graphic symbols to be engraved on clothing. Therefore, laser engraving technology is becoming more and more widely used, which to a certain extent reflects the development trend of the button industry in the future.
Several main varieties of resin buttons
1. Magnetic white buttons The buttons are single white without patterns, but they can be made into various shapes.
2. Flat pearlescent buttons The product features are that the pearlescent brightness is the same on the entire button surface, like a mirror, the color is bright, and the appearance is difficult to distinguish from pearlescent plexiglass buttons. Natural pearlescent buttons are mostly used for shirt buttons.
3. Glass pearlescent buttons. The pearlescent arrangement on the surface of the button is in a corrugated shape. The pearlescent brightness is high, and the bright spots shine like a cat’s eye effect.
4. Cloud flower imitation shell buttons. The characteristic of this type of pearlescent buttons is that the pearlescent light on the surface is arranged in irregular cloud patterns and displays a colorful effect. This type of pearlescent button is closer to the pearlescent effect of natural shells, so it is called imitation shell buttons.
5. Striped buttons have fine and smooth lines on the surface, natural colors, and natural bamboo and wood textures, so they are also called imitation wood buttons and imitation bamboo buttons. This type of buttons is mainly used on some casual clothes.
Ceramic buttons
Ceramic buttons are divided into two categories: ordinary ceramic buttons and special ceramic buttons. Ordinary ceramic buttons are made of ordinary porcelain materials through sintering, glazing, The surface decoration is combined with the metal base. The main reason why ordinary ceramic buttons are popular is that after glazing treatment, the surface of the button is decorated with patterns, bright colors, high brightness, and the decorative effect is very obvious. Moreover, the ceramic material has high surface hardness and excellent wear resistance. . However, due to limitations in production methods and technological levels, the production batch is small and the cost is high. Special ceramic buttons are made of high-strength ceramic materials such as zirconia, which are formed under high pressure and then sintered. Buttons have extremely high mechanical strength and are called unbreakable buttons. They are more expensive and are mainly used as washable and wear-resistant shirt buttons.
Gemstone buttons
Gemstones are rare and high-grade decorative materials and are rarely used in the production of buttons. The gemstones currently used in button production are mainly low-grade gemstones and artificial crystals.
Artificial crystal buttons are crystal clear and translucent in color and are easily accepted by consumers. Therefore, the current sales of crystal buttons are considerable. The main features of gem buttons and crystal buttons are: 1. High-quality gems and crystals are rare materials and are precious things. The use of gemstone buttons on a piece of clothing shows its high value and wealth, so it can satisfy some people's pursuit of glory; 2. Superior performance Gemstone and crystal buttons have very obvious advantages over the plastic buttons used daily. The advantages of physical and chemical properties, its wear resistance, scratch resistance, and resistance to organic and inorganic cleaning agents are beyond the reach of ordinary plastic buttons or even shell buttons. Therefore, it can truly be called a treasure of buttons. It not only has The use value still has a certain collection value; 3. Unique shape. Since gemstones are rare substances, when they are processed into buttons, they are often carefully crafted into unique shapes, so they have a good decorative effect.
Point tail screw buttons
This type of button material is thicker and has a better pearlescent layer. It can process buttons of various shapes from 14-44 models. After being bleached with hydrogen peroxide, the buttons turn light yellow-green in color. On this basis, it can be dyed into various colors and is suitable for all kinds of mid-to-high-end clothing. The color on the Montagut T-shirt is the 18 model two-eye smoke gray pointed tail screw button. This type of button is sold at a high price due to the higher price of shells and better color, and is mostly used on silk clothing in China.
Characteristics of imitation leather buttons
1. There are leather patterns on the surface and a leathery appearance. 2. Rich colors. Since imitation leather paint is easy to color, it is very easy to make imitation leather buttons of various colors, and the smoothness of the button surface can be easily processed from extra bright to matte or matte according to the customer's requirements. . 3. Cheap price. Because imitation leather buttons adopt the production process of modern plastic buttons, the production efficiency is high, so the price is lower, but it is higher than ordinary plastic buttons. 4. The production cycle is long. Since imitation leather buttons require an extra thin coating process than ordinary plastic buttons, the production cycle is slightly longer, and the general delivery time is more than half a month. 5. Precautions when using. Since the entire material of imitation leather buttons is synthetic resin, its heat resistance, abrasion resistance and organic solvent resistance are limited. It cannot be ironed with an electric iron, cannot be immersed in organic solvents, and cannot be placed in a washing machine. Wash with medium to long agitation.
Pearlescent rod buttons
The characteristic of this type of buttons is to combine the pearlescent effect of plate buttons with the shaped flowers of rod buttons, so that the buttons have both Clear shaped pattern with pearlescent effect. The buttons are brightly colored, so they are very popular among consumers. At present, the pearlescent rod buttons developed internationally using a new technology are very similar to natural abalone shells in both color and texture, and are very beautiful. Pearlescent rod buttons can be made into various fluorine clothing buttons for men and women, and the market prospects are good.
Characteristics and quality indicators of copper-clad aluminum buckles
Because copper-clad aluminum buckles use H62 brass as the surface material, their color is similar to that of 18K gold, so they have a strong It is decorative, and after being treated with excellent surface treatment methods, it can be used for a long time without discoloration or rust. In addition, the copper surface of the copper-clad aluminum buckle is very thin, and very little copper is used. At the same time, the handle of the copper-clad aluminum buckle is made of aluminum alloy, which ensures the mechanical strength of the button. The absolute strength of the buckle handle can reach more than 300N, so that the copper-clad aluminum buckle can be used under any conditions without the button falling off.
Coconut shell buttons
Coconut shells are very hard, so they can be used to make buttons. The characteristics of this type of buttons are light brown to dark brown in color, with different colors on the front and back, and spots or filamentous veins distributed on the surface of the button. The coconut shell is lighter in color before being immersed in water, and turns dark brown in color after being immersed in water. After bleaching treatment, buttons can be dyed into various colors. Compared with wood buttons, coconut shell buttons have more prominent features. The disadvantages of coconut shell buttons are similar to those of wood buttons, mainly that they are too absorbent, but they are slightly better than wood buttons. Coconut shell buttons are mainly used on some casual shirts.
Anti-corrosion treatment of copper-clad aluminum buckles
The basic method of anti-corrosion of copper is to use slight acid polishing to make the surface of H62 brass show a luster similar to that of 18K gold brightness.
Then use repeated coating methods to dip or spray different protective paint films on the surface. The bottom layer of the dipping paint is a paint type with good sealing performance to improve its protective performance; the spraying part requires a paint type with high hardness to improve the friction resistance of the paint film and extend its use time, thereby ensuring that the buttons will not be used for a long time. Will discolor and rust.
The emotional symbol of color
The color configuration of metal fasteners on clothing also reflects everyone’s preference and emotion. This preference and emotion depend on each person cultural level, age, gender, social status, ethnicity, habits, etc. For example, jeans are customarily equipped with bronze fasteners. Although the hues are different, the purity and brightness are similar, reflecting a chic, bold and strong personality. feature. The bright ethnic costumes of the ethnic minorities in southwest my country are paired with a lot of silver clothing, which shows the mentality of these ethnic groups who love beauty and love life.
Selection of buttons for professional clothing combinations
The style of professional clothing is solemn and neat, and can be worn for a long time. Buttons are often determined by each industry. But the overall selection principle is to reflect the characteristics of professional clothing. In addition to appearance, consider durability when it comes to quality. To achieve this goal, buttons are often made of lightweight alloy materials or high-strength synthetic resins, such as nylon and formaldehyde resin, and are equipped with special iconic ornaments to show industry characteristics.
Wood buttons Wood buttons and moso bamboo buttons are buttons made from plant stems. In the international market, there are many such buttons. Especially in recent years, as people pursue greener environmental quality, the demand for such plant buttons has increased, with consumption in developed countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan gradually rising. The product structure is dominated by wood buttons. The motivation for people to choose wood buttons first stems from their boredom with the long-term and large-scale use of synthetic plastics. Many people believe that "natural" materials must be non-toxic and beneficial to human health, and wood buttons cater to people's psychology. Wood buttons have natural wood texture, which is very simple and natural. In addition, its appearance is relatively rough, which is in sharp contrast with the high gloss of plastic buttons. Therefore, this type of buttons matches well with linen fabrics or plain casual clothing, and at the same time can satisfy some people's unconventional and unconventional aesthetic habits. The main component of wood buttons is lignin, which is extremely resistant to organic solvents and can be used with durable dry cleaning agents and can be dry cleaned together with clothing. The fatal disadvantage of wood buttons is its absorbency. Since wood fibers are highly absorbent, they will quickly absorb water and swell in humid weather or if they are put into water. When they dry again, they may crack, deform, or become rough, making it easy to snag clothing. fiber. In order to overcome the shortcomings of wood buttons, when selecting materials, attention should be paid to choosing wood or parts with dense wood, long growth period, and old trees. After the buttons are polished, use high-quality varnish to treat the surface to seal all water-absorbing pores. Buttons treated in this way can avoid the problem of easily absorbing water.
Transparent injection molded buttons
The material types of this type of buttons include injection molded transparent plastics, such as transparent polystyrene, polycarbonate, acrylic resin (372.613 mold Plastic, etc.), AS resin, etc. The main features of this type of button are as follows: 1. Transparent polystyrene button This kind of button has good transparency, cheap material, easy injection molding, but is brittle and not easy to mold. It is resistant to high temperatures and solvents, so it can only produce low-grade buttons. amp; jbsp; 2. Polycarbonate buttons (PC) Polycarbonate is an engineering plastic. It is not only transparent, but also has excellent mechanical properties. In particular, it has good resilience and is not easily broken, so it is mostly used for injection molding with springs. rope buckle. The disadvantages are high cost and poor injection molding performance. 3. Acrylic resin buttons: This is a type of plastic with the highest light transmittance and the best transparency. There are many types of resins that can be used for injection molding. The main domestic models include 372, 613, 504, etc., but the overall light transmittance is slightly poor.
Due to the high light transmittance and pure color of acrylic resin, in the button manufacturing industry, this type of material is mostly used to make high-purity, high-transparency buttons. Its appearance is like crystal glass. The buttons can be made individually. Fashion buttons, or combination buttons combined with other materials, are used in women's fashion and are currently quite popular. The disadvantage of this type of buttons is that the surface has poor scratch resistance, organic solvent resistance and temperature resistance, and is not suitable for use on high-end, durable clothing. 4.K resin button K resin is a styrene-dibutylene polymer. It is characterized by good transparency, good flexibility of the material, and easy injection molding. Buttons made of this resin often have a certain degree of elasticity and are often used to produce transparent and translucent rope buttons. Since the resin is limited by the mechanical properties of the material, the durability of the buttons is not good and the grade is low.
Metal fastener styling
The styling design of metal fasteners belongs to the category of industrial design. The shape design of metal fasteners is different from pure artistic designs such as engraving, sculpture, painting, etc. It includes shape, pattern, color, material, practicality, durability, producibility and craftsmanship of mass industrial production. In terms of shape, the shape of metal fasteners consists of two parts: (1) geometric shape and three-dimensional shape of the shape; (2) partial shape. Due to factors such as producibility, processability, and safety, the most common shapes are circles, hexagons, equilateral shapes, equilateral shapes, etc. The most common three-dimensional shapes are spherical, hemispherical, and relief shapes. and other three-dimensional shapes. The most common partial modeling is to shape individual and all local details on the basis of external modeling, such as adding Arabic numerals, English letters, plane composition patterns, animals, portraits, flowers, registered trademarks and patterns, etc. A good metal fastener must meet two major conditions: (1) practicality and aesthetics; (2) directionality of compatibility with clothing. Practicality and aesthetics are generally easy to understand. The direction of compatibility with clothing indicates which type of clothing the metal fastener mainly serves, whether it is suits, fashion, shirts, children's clothing, jeans, or leather clothing. , underwear, shoes and hats, leisure products, etc., their safety and particularity must be taken into consideration.
Selection of combination buttons for children's clothing
Children's clothing buttons should focus on two major characteristics: first, the color should be bright, and second, the strength of the button should be high, because children have the ability to grasp it with their hands. Or the habit of biting clothes with your mouth, so the buttons must be firm and cannot fall off as soon as you grab them. In addition, as people's awareness of environmental protection increases, countries around the world have increasingly stringent safety requirements for children's products, and buttons are no exception. It is usually required that combination buttons for children's clothing cannot contain heavy metal elements and toxic elements, such as chromium, nickel, cobalt, copper, mercury, lead, etc., and the dyes used cannot contain certain azo dyes that can decompose into components that are toxic to the human body. At present, the electroplated parts used in combination buttons often contain nickel, and the pearlescent buttons in resin buttons often contain lead. Among various dyes, there are some azo dyes that have begun to be banned, so these must be carefully considered when choosing. .
Color contrast and harmony
The color configuration of metal fasteners on clothing is all about contrast and harmony with the color of clothing in terms of hue, purity, brightness, etc., such as a bright red piece The clothing is equipped with chrome-plated white bright buttons and rings. Although these fasteners occupy a small area on the clothing, they are very prominent and bright. Their contrasting characteristics are the strong contrast between hue and brightness. A piece of light green children's clothing with light blue fasteners makes the children's clothing more vivid and lively. This is the effect of color contrast and purity contrast. A black and gray suit with black buttons and black suspender buckles looks very coordinated and solemn. This is the harmony of colors. A disco actor wearing a black dress studded with shiny fasteners shines brightly on the stage. This stage effect is the function of brightness and purity.
Real shell buttons
Real shell buttons, also known as shell buttons, are an extremely ancient type of buttons. The reason why these buttons are still popular today The main reason for its longevity is that it comes from nature, has an elegant texture and attractive luster, and people always associate shells with jewelry, so using real shell buttons on clothing shows high quality.
For example, the popular Montagut T-shirts are characterized by the use of real shell buttons.
There are many types of shells in the world and the resources are quite abundant, but there are not many shellfish that can be used for button production. This is mainly because the shells used for button production must be brightly colored and have pearl luster. The texture is uniform and tough, easy to collect, rich in resources and affordable. The most popular shell buttons in the world mainly include sharp-tailed snails (horseshoe snails), abalone oysters (snails), and various types of pearl oysters (such as black butterfly oysters, white butterfly oysters, Malovian oysters, penguin oysters, pearl oysters and freshwater pearl oysters). etc.), freshwater banana clams, etc. In addition, various salamander snails, tiger clams, etc. are also partially used to produce buttons, but the quantity is not large.
Selection of high-end durable clothing combination buttons
Whether a button is high-end or not is mainly reflected in whether its material is high-end, whether its shape is beautiful, whether its color is beautiful, and whether its durability is good. These aspects must be considered comprehensively. People often recognize general colors and shapes easily, but they may not consider enough materials and durability. For example, imitation gold electroplated buttons are more popular in the market at present and the price is lower. These buttons are usually made of ABS plastic after imitation gold electroplating. In the early stages of making the buttons, their color is more beautiful, but if the buttons If the surface treatment is not strict, if it is stored for a long time, it will fade and turn green, and it will look completely different. If this kind of button is used on a high-end garment, the button will often change color before the garment is sold, which will inevitably affect the sales of the garment. Therefore, when choosing buttons, in addition to the beauty of color and shape, you must also consider the durability of the color (if it is an electroplated button, the quality is better if it is plated with 16K gold). In addition, the eyelet of the button must have high tensile strength. If you have dark eye buttons or buttons with handles, the wall thickness at the eye slots should be adequate. This type of buttons often use resin buttons as the main body, appropriately decorated with various metal or ABS gold-plated inserts, and covered with transparent resin epoxy glue. They are both stable, beautiful and durable.
Buttons create style
I often hear women complaining that the clothes in fashion stores only follow the trend, and it is difficult to wear the same style in the same style.
In fact, an ordinary piece of clothing can have a refreshing effect with just a few changes.
One of the simplest and most effective ways is to replace the buttons. Usually mid-priced ready-to-wear clothes don’t pay much attention to details like buttons. So if the tailoring and workmanship of the clothes are good, just change the buttons and it will become a unique fashion for you, which is very affordable.
Buttons can be blended into the color and style of clothes, or they can pop out and play a decorative role. If you consider the overall image, you can also use buttons to match the jewelry. For example, imitation pearl buttons with pearl jewelry, gold buttons with gold jewelry...etc., it looks very noble and generous, and also makes the viewer feel that you are a thoughtful woman.
Changing buttons does not require proficiency in female red, but it allows you to create your own beauty stitch by stitch and regain the long-lost classical feelings.
