About Global Button Week
Retail
Ends: Mar 22, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Button Week serves to appreciate the history and unique art that is buttons. Jean Speights, the President of the National Button Society, declared the third week of March as National Button Week in 1989 as support for local clubs, craft groups, and button collectors. Button Week is preceeded by Spring Button Fest, over the third weekend of March.
The history of buttons stretches back thousands of years, with their initial use more decorative than functional. Early buttons were made from seashells, metal, wood, and eventually, with the advent of industrialization, from plastics and other synthetic materials. Historically, buttons have been more than just fasteners; they've been statements of fashion, status, and artistry. In the 13th century, buttons became a functional part of European clothing, revolutionizing fashion. They have since become ubiquitous on a wide range of garments and accessories.
Button Week encourages the observers to explore the history and variety of buttons, celebrate their artistry and craftsmanship, and recognize their role in fashion and function. For collectors, it's a chance to share their collections, stories, and knowledge about buttons. For artists and crafters, it's an opportunity to showcase creative uses of buttons beyond mere fasteners.
Button Week celebrates the small yet impactful object that has played a significant role in fashion and functionality throughout history.
