The classic button is the most versatile fastening in tailoring: it doesn't get in the way, adapts, lasts over time. But classic doesn't mean anonymous. In this category you'll find three very different lines, united by the same criterion: quality material, easy sewing, durable result. The Akoya mother of pearl button for those who go for understated elegance. The giant wood-effect button, surprisingly light despite its large diameter, for garments with a strong visual presence. The round 4-hole enamelled nylon button for a polished finish on cardigans and handmade knitwear. Three concrete options for those who need the right button, without compromise.

Frequently asked questions about classic buttons
What is a classic button?
A button with a clean shape and regular profile — typically round — with 2 or 4 holes, suitable for almost any fabric and style. Its strength is versatility: it works on a coat just as well as on a handmade cardigan.
Is Akoya mother of pearl superior to ordinary mother of pearl?
Yes. It comes from the Pinctada fucata oyster, found in the cold waters of the eastern Pacific, and is valued for its more pronounced natural lustre and more intense iridescent tones than freshwater mother of pearl.
Does the giant Wood button hold on heavy coats despite its size?
Yes. The lightweight PVC body makes it surprisingly light (63 mm diameter but does not affect the garment's drape). The 7 mm holes allow a solid stitch even with thick threads.
Can I order just 1 or 2 buttons?
Yes. Tessiland sells from a single button with no minimum order. Ideal for those who need a few replacement pieces or want to try the product before buying a larger quantity.
