Duttons for Buttons: Duttons For Buttons have over 12,000 types of button in stock, so we’re pretty sure that they’ll have everything your heart could desire - they even provided the buttons for Pirates of the Caribbean. There are three shops across the north of England and, while they don’t have an online store, they do have a mail order service – just send a fabric sample and an idea of what you’re looking for and they’ll very helpfully provide you with a selection of buttons to choose from.
