We love this little button shop because you can find a lot
of great stuff there. This is another one of those stores
that is small in size but has the variety of a large store.
So if you’re a button a icionado (and you know who you are),
stop by Botani to enjoy their beautiful collection.

They specialize in fabric covered but- tons, which are surprising
very hard to find in the garment center. Don’t waste your
time trying regular button stores for these specialty items,
just come here!

This shop can be expensive, but it is always the first place
we look because of its exquisite selection and attentive
service. Quirky and novelty are their specialty, but literally,
they have it all. Nice quality too. At a recent visit we
were shocked at being charged $5 per but- ton, but pleased
to find out that the tiny, glowing white buttons were of
exquisite mother of pearl. Of course $5 per button is not
the norm, but all of their buttons have a feel of luxury
anyway.

At Periche you can buy buttons and covered buttons for both
retail and wholesale. Since covered buttons are a hard find
in the garment center keep this store in mind.
