Handmade Buttons

Incomparable hand-made buttons from South Africa

Our wonderful hand-made buttons come in a variety of African animal and abstract designs: perfect for embellishing your African themed project.

Jennifer Pascall started making buttons on her kitchen table in Johannesburg in the 1980s. As her buttons became popular, she trained local women in the skilled craft of button making and Incomparable Buttons was born.

Each button is carefully crafted from Incomparable's unique mix of ceramic and stoneware clay, then hand-painted and glazed before multiple firings at very high temperature. This is why Incomparable buttons are 100% machine washable and can even be dry cleaned.
