Imitation pearls are artificial pearls made by applying pearl foil to a core material. In this list, we mainly handle buttons, as well as zipper pull tabs and hooks. A collection of pearl buttons and pearl parts is also included.
Depending on the core material, they are classified as plastic pearls, glass pearls, shell pearls, and cotton pearls. Taking advantage of their lightness and subdued luster, they are also used for accessories and corsages. For buttons, you can choose according to the design, from combo buttons that combine different materials to metal buttons made of metal or with a metal-like finish.
For attachment, choose by checking the ring shank, which is sewn by passing thread through the loop on the back, and the tunnel shank, which is sewn by passing thread through a tubular or bridge-shaped shank so the sewing holes are not visible on the front.

QWhite buttons look yellow. Depending on the size, buttons with the same color number may appear to be different colors.
For polyester materials and similar, if the item is white or a light color, the button color may discolor due to the production lot or aging.
If you absolutely need the colors to match, there are methods such as using a dyeable type and dyeing it to match the fabric color.
However, even after dyeing, the color may still discolor over time, such as after 5 to 10 years.
QCan button samples be arranged?
