The Long Version...
Way back in the last century, All Buttons Great And Small opened its doors in Newtown. From humble beginnings in 1989, our collection has grown to cater for all aspects of popular fashion and the creative community. Our main aim is to provide quality buttons, in a relaxed setting where ideas are shared freely.
We sell buttons, buttons, buttons, and more buttons!* We also have button-related items, including button greeting cards, button jewellery, seasonal items, button/sewing tins.
Our collection includes Couture enamelled buttons, Swarovski crystal and diamanté, glass, vintage, hand carved polyester, novelty, metal, plastics and polymers, and a full range of natural products: shells, wood, coconut, horn, bone, corozo, bamboo, leather, ceramic, among others. We aim to provide quality buttons at reasonable prices; we travel the globe searching for our stock, and have buttons from every continent (except Antarctica, yet). We have established relationships with our suppliers, and aim to be ethically considerate in our buying choices with a strong interest in Fair Trade.
We have an in-house Button Covering service. Bring in your fabric, and we will cover buttons in a variety of styles and sizes. Our usual service is 24 hours, but if the quantity is under 20 pieces, we may be able to make them while you wait, or on the same day.
Our friendly, knowledgeable staff can help you find the perfect button, or you can browse our walls of colour yourself. For best results, bring in your articles of clothing, fabric swatches, or yarn samples.
Can’t make it to the shop? We provide a Mail Order service. Send us an email with your request and we can send photographs of samples for you to peruse. Alternatively, send us your fabric or yarn swatches by post, and we can photograph some choices on your items for you to choose.
Items from our private collection can be found exclusively on our online shop.
With over 15,000 varieties to choose from, you'll be certain to find the perfect button.
* Ok… we stock some buckles, clasps, and other interesting fastening bits, and we have a full range of haberdashery items including Gütermann sewing thread. Learn more

International Connections...
Ever been to Amsterdam, shopping for buttons, and had a déjà vu moment? You may have stumbled across our sister shop, the Knopen Winkel, located on the canal district of the Negen Straatjes (Nine Streets). Owner Thea de Boer commissioned Dutch furniture maker, Oscar Prieckaerts, to design and make the shop fittings, and then sent him across the globe to Newtown to do the same for us. Next time you take a trip to Amsterdam, visit the Knopen Winkel - you'll find an eclectic mix of buttons and treasures from around the globe - and give "de groeten" from us.
