Vintage Butterfly Buttons

Add a touch of vintage, nature-inspired charm to your garments with these Vintage Butterfly Buttons. Each button features a delicate metal-look butterfly set on a smooth, pearl-effect resin base, framed by a polished rim for an elegant, heritage-inspired look. Crafted from durable resin with a gold-tone or silver-tone butterfly accent, they bring a refined, designer character to coats, jackets, cardigans and other statement pieces, while the secure shank back makes them quick and tidy to sew on.

About Our Vintage Butterfly Buttons

These butterfly buttons combine a soft, pearl-effect resin face with a sculpted metal-look butterfly motif at the center. The luminous base reflects light for a subtle, jewel-like glow, while the antiqued butterfly and rim add depth and an old-world, tailored feel. The smooth shank back keeps the front clean and lets the butterfly detail take center stage. Available in two timeless finishes — gold and silver — they are a versatile accent for both tailored and casual makes.

Why You’ll Love Them

• Delicate metal-look butterfly on a pearl-effect resin base
• Polished rim for a refined, vintage edge
• Durable resin construction with a quality, weighty feel
• Two timeless finishes — gold and silver butterfly
• Secure shank back for easy stitching and a clean front
• Three versatile sizes from 18mm to 23mm

Color & Styling Tips

The two finishes make it easy to set the tone of your project. The gold butterfly has a warm, golden depth that suits camel, brown, cream and earthy tones, as well as vintage coats and tweed jackets, while the silver butterfly offers a cooler, sleek shine that pairs beautifully with grey, navy, black and crisp neutrals. Use the butterfly buttons as a deliberate, decorative detail against a plain fabric, or coordinate them with other hardware for a polished, head-to-toe look.

How to Choose Your Size

These buttons come in 18mm, 20mm, and 23mm, so you can match them to the weight and style of your garment. The smaller 18mm size suits blouses, cardigans, shirts, and lighter knitwear, while 20mm and 23mm make a bolder statement on coats, blazers, jackets, and outerwear. If you are replacing existing buttons, measure your buttonhole and the original button before ordering to be sure the size and shank height suit your fabric. Each size comes in a convenient set of 4 pieces.

How to Use Them

Beyond closures, these butterfly buttons work wonderfully as decorative accents — stitch them onto cuffs, pockets, collars, and bags, or use them to upgrade a plain cardigan or coat. Because the butterfly reads like a small piece of jewelry, even swapping a few basic buttons can instantly lift a simple garment.

Care Tips

To keep the finish looking its best, hand wash garments with these buttons or fasten them inside a laundry bag for a gentle machine cycle. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and abrasive cleaners that can dull the finish, and keep the buttons away from prolonged moisture. Gently pat dry and wipe with a soft, dry cloth to maintain their shine.
