They are hand embroidered [NO computerised machines used, only traditional methods were used to make the buttons] on satin with silk thread used to form the design. Attached to a domed button, fully sealed in to the rear, with a good sized sewing 'tag' attachment to the rear for easy affixing to the garment of your choice.

Painstakingly reproduced, each button is a masterpiece of human ingenuity and a true example of craftsmanship, patience and devotion to the art. They represent an untold amount of hours, thought, investment and planning to effect a re-enactment of actual items which were used to help bring about change in our society.
Quality is paramount and we are certain you will LOVE your buttons and be amazed at the level of craftsmanship invested in them.
