We kept this a surprise until launch. The packagin We kept this a surprise until launch. The packaging!

Collaborating with a Parisian brand we wanted every aspect of our joint collection to have a romantic feel and have a certain sophistication.

We partially based the shape of our button on a vintage one, to give a slight retro nod. Having them nestled in a matchbox adds to the nostalgia.

Added benefit, they are kept nicely organised and tidy โœ‚๏ธ

Creating a lookbook seemed natural for our button collection. We both fell head first into sewing garments and dreaming up sewing plans. Leading us to take pictures of ourselves and explaining our creations and everything that went into the project on the internet, from the fabric to the seam finishes. This is how we first found each other and connected.

Fabric choices and perfect finishing touches are a joy for us. Putting it all together into outfits, the best ๐Ÿ’–

Black Friday is approaching. It's grown bigger tha Black Friday is approaching. It's grown bigger than a day and it almost feels like the entire month. As a business it seems harder and harder to opt out without a serious dip in sales. 

It's been interesting to see more small businesses being transparent about what the day means to them and their values. We didn't take part last year and did see an impact. So this year we've planned to use the day to highlight a new service and to finally sort out our remnants!

To our wholesale customers we will be using the day to promote our new fabric printing service on Tencel, Cupro and more! With 20% off. This deal will only be available on Black Friday.

For our retail customers we will be holding a seconds sale on our buttons and will be listing the remnant pieces of fabric we have in the studio at a reduced price. 

We want to thank all our customers and followers, it's been an unpredictable year and we feel incredibly grateful to still be able to provide our services โค

The Saint-Pierre Button Take Saint-Pierre as you The Saint-Pierre Button 

Take Saint-Pierre as your staple. With it's vintage/old timer vibes, it's Brown and Amber hues. We created her as a button that we all need at some point.

Saint-Pierre has a slightly transparent game going on at its surface, which gives it the particularly of having a different shade depending on the fabric placed at the background.

We think of long cardigans and cosy wools whenever we see this button โœ‚๏ธ

We wore our new me-mades with our regularly worn RTW clothes. Creating clothes that fit easily and frequently into our wardrobes is important to us.

It's slightly intimidating to take pictures on the busy streets for Paris! But it's hard to beat the background ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

Almost good enough to eat! The #LPMCxPW buttons ar Almost good enough to eat! The #LPMCxPW buttons are launching this Wednesday, 16th November ๐ŸŽ‰

Today we took some product pictures and feel in love with the collection all over again. During the process of making our buttons we wanted to get the shape just right. We drew inspiration from English tailoring, French couture and vintage buttons to create buttons neither of us has found before. 

All our buttons are made from bioresin, so they are derived from cellulose which is more sustainable than plastic. Bioresin behaves differently from plastic so rather then being placed into a mould, the buttons were lasercut into shape.

We are so excited to show you the full collection โœ‚๏ธ

Our button collaboration with @lapetitemaisoncouture has been building up and we've spent most of the Summer talking (and sewing!) in preparation for the Autumn/Winter season.

Elaine wanted to draw on our background as a British business to create a collection of buttons based around tailoring and heritage clothing, with of course her signature twist ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

These buttons are going to be unlike anything we've produced before. Especially designed for outerwear and utility clothing in mind. Here's a look at a sample I've sewn up for the upcoming photoshoot ๐Ÿ“ธ

Our fabric bolt rolling machine was the first and Our fabric bolt rolling machine was the first and biggest investment we made when starting our business.

We were first rolling fabric by hand to save costs but that, as you can guess, turned out to be unrealistic for a fabric wholesaler!

We are about to make space for another rolling machine. This time for fabric on a roll. Another machine is a huge step for us but we want to improve our fabric checking and give customers more options of receiving their fabric. 

Lots to move around to make space!

There's no doubt about it. Cotton Seersucker is ou There's no doubt about it. Cotton Seersucker is our bestselling fabric. Here's some seersucker facts and tips 

๐Ÿงต The crinkles are formed by tightening the fabric weft when weaving the fabric. They cannot be washed out. 

๐Ÿ’ฆ Wash your fabric on a warm wash, I go for 30c and the great thing about seersucker..... there's no need for ironing. Huzzah! Just lightly press when ironing for sewing.

โœ‚๏ธ My sewing tip would be to iron your facing fabric as much as possible before cutting out and interface with stretch interfacing. 

๐ŸŒž Cotton seersucker is a great summer fabric, the uneven material allows for great air circulation and cotton is breathable and comfortable. 

Hope you've enjoyed getting to know more about the fabric!

The Saint-Pierre Button Take Saint-Pierre as you The Saint-Pierre Button 

Take Saint-Pierre as your staple. With it's vintage/old timer vibes, it's Brown and Amber hues. We created her as a button that we all need at some point.

Saint-Pierre has a slightly transparent game going on at its surface, which gives it the particularly of having a different shade depending on the fabric placed at the background.

We think of long cardigans and cosy wools whenever we see this button โœ‚๏ธ

We thought the perfect way to show you our buttons We thought the perfect way to show you our buttons, the sewing patterns we love and how we style it all together was with a lookbook ๐Ÿ“ธ

We wore our new me-mades with our regularly worn RTW clothes. Creating clothes that fit easily and frequently into our wardrobes is important to us.

It's slightly intimidating to take pictures on the busy streets for Paris! But it's hard to beat the background ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท
