Square Chain Link Buttons

Give a plain coat or cardigan a boutique finish with these square chain link buttons. Each button pairs a softly domed, marble-look resin face with a gold-tone rim moulded to look like a fine woven chain, so the whole button reads like a small piece of jewellery on the garment. The squared, cushion shape sits differently from the usual round button, filling the placket and drawing the eye without any lettering or logo on the face. Five colours and three sizes make them easy to match to wool, tweed, knitwear and denim, and every pack of six arrives with a needle and thread so you can start the swap straight away.

About Our Square Chain Link Buttons

Our square chain link buttons are built in two parts: a gold-tone metal frame with a raised chain-link border, and a glossy resin centre with a swirled, marble-look pattern running through it. The frame catches the light along every link, while the centre stays smooth and rounded, so the button looks layered rather than flat. Black and cream are the quiet, tailored choices, brown has a warm amber-look swirl, and the pink and green shades give a softer, spring-weight feel. At 17mm the buttons work on shirts, blouses and fine cardigans; 20mm is the everyday all-rounder for jackets and knitwear; 24mm makes a bolder statement down the front of a coat.

Colour Choices

Black with a gold-tone rim is the most tailored option and sits well on navy, charcoal and black wool. Cream is the softest of the five and lifts camel, oatmeal and ivory coats. Brown has a warm, amber-look swirl that suits tweed, corduroy and autumn palettes. Pink reads as a gentle peach tone on cream and grey knitwear, while green brings a fresh, vintage-inspired accent to linen and lighter jackets. Because the pattern is swirled into the resin, the markings fall differently on every button.

How to Use Them

These buttons suit coats, blazers, tweed jackets, cardigans, sweaters, dresses and shirt plackets. Swapping the original buttons on a shop-bought jacket for a set of chain-rimmed ones is one of the quickest ways to make it look custom. Away from clothing they work on tote bags, hair accessories, brooch bases, cushion covers and craft projects, and they are a favourite for knitting, crochet and dressmaking.

How to Choose a Size

Measure the buttonhole rather than the old button, and note that our sizes are taken across the widest point of the gold-tone rim. 17mm suits shirts, blouses and fine cardigans, 20mm is the safest choice for jackets, knitwear and dresses, and 24mm is for coats and statement outerwear. A squared button needs a slightly more generous buttonhole than a round one of the same width, so if you are between sizes, size down.

Care Tips

Hand wash where you can, or fasten the buttons and use a laundry bag on a gentle machine cycle. Keep them away from bleach, strong solvents and prolonged soaking, which can dull the surface coating, and wipe with a soft dry cloth. Store somewhere dry between projects.

Please Note

The swirled pattern is mixed into the resin, so the markings, depth of colour and light reflection vary from button to button. Slight differences within a pack are normal and are part of the material rather than a fault. The gold colour is a surface tone on a metal frame.
