Ever since Abraham Case, in 1622, the Dorset Button has been a versatile and perfect accessory for ‘your Sunday best’. Today’s yarns lend themselves to the design of a button, a broach or even jewellery that complements perfectly that special garment. The art of contrast becomes a statement piece whilst complementing colours can reveal their beauty to only the most attentive observer.
TJFrog’s bespoke ‘design and make service’ includes spending the time with you to fully understand the initial requirement, exploring yarn options, colour & design with you and if appropriate developing a sample button before the final buttons are handmade. TJFrog's experience will help you discover the art of the possible whilst her technical expertise produces finished products that command attention.
