HOW BUTTONS ARE MADE

Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Best Made Company. We made a lot of clothes in NYC, but we also worked in Europe and Peru.

This spring, while we were in Portugal, we toured a button factory, so I thought I'd share this little video. The coolest part about this factory, is that they recycle all left overs and make more buttons with them too!

How many times have you use buttons without even thinking about how much work goes into making them?

This is a saved Instagram story from when I visited a button factory in Portugal. This factory was especially impressive because they had a little farm on site, used renewable Eucalyptus for their wooden buttons, and had a recycled material program where they took all their button waste and re-made them into more buttons! This was a trip I took while working at Best Made Company. Enjoy!
