The Button Store

This place is so refreshing Compared to the button selection in DTLA fashion district! There was not a shortage of classy, high quality buttons. I’ve never seen a store with such a great selection. You can buy wholesale and get great advice from the owners about what selection fits your design the best!

As a fashion stylist & personal shopper I am always looking for ways to make the ordinary extraordinary. I seldom ever keep the buttons on blazers or suits when purchased. I’ve been shopping at the Button Store for 5 years. It’s a joy. I’ve NEVER had a bad experience here. And with the help of the people who work here I always walk away with a little something beautiful that elevates my look to the next level. The Button Store is one of my happy places in LA that I recommend to all my friends in fashion from stylists to designers to friends.

I was referred to the button store by a gentleman who sells very high end clothing and his clients are very demanding. There are on occasions when buying a suit or a sport jacket, and when mine arrived from Italy it didn’t have the sleeve buttons. Now I was forced to change the front and inner buttons as well. ANYONE who gives this great store anything less than a FIVE STAR RATING should not be allowed to leave any feedback as they have nothing better to do than write negative reviews just so they can tarnish someone’s reputation. The store is owned by a beautiful older, married couple who could not be more helpful, patient and understanding. Instead of offering their option arbitrarily they were kind enough to make a few suggestions and options when asked. If something didn’t look right to them they may bring it to the customer’s attention in order for the customer to make an informed decision. Furthermore, whatever idiots who have written that the store is too expensive you are being misinformed by that review. I purchased a total of 12 higher end mother of pearl buttons for this $ 3,500 jacket, the buttons costs me a whopping $ 29.17. For some very nice people to work as hard as they do to help me as a customer for that sum is going out of their way to be helpful. If you as a customer find that expensive do this site the favor of not offering your strongly skewed and inaccurate assessment. I will tell everyone I know if they need buttons to go to The Button Store. Lastly, once again for you negative people out there that feel they have poor customer service is repellent. When I walked in the door and asked where I had parked which was a loading zone, they told me I should drive into the alley as they have safe parking there and you will not get ticketed or towed. Does ANYONE call that BAD customer service? Their customer service is outstanding and I will stand by my opinion and will continue as a returning customer. I was made to feel that my business was appreciated. Who could ask for anything more?!

I had been sick of having the dry cleaners break my buttons when they press my clothes and have no replacement. Result a ruined outfit. Then I finally found the Button Store. It is amazing. Best selection ever! Not only do they serve the public, they supply clothing manufacturers. If you have a problem go there.

Went here today, after reading the reviews AND finding out Mood closed on LaBrea. The store was empty, with exception of woman who may’ve been an owner.
I was looking for buttons for two vintage shirts I’ve got, she was extremely helpful, and even though they didn’t have the fabric buttons for an exact match, she steered me to some pretty reasonable alternatives, and moved me from expensive glass buttons I was eyeing.
For someone who doesn’t like to shop, she was helpful and got me in and out in less than 10 minutes. I would up paying 30 $ for buttons, more than the total price I paid for the 2 shirts… but they’re goin to loom TIGHT on!!!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! There are so many other nice places to shop for buttons not too far from them (
). They have the worst customer service. The owner FARZANEH M has a horrible attitude towards her customers. I was given bad suggestions and when I attempted to browse to pick something for myself I was rushed and reprimanded on taking too much time. I was the only person in the store the store for 20 minutes. Considering the premium prices they charge they should be much nicer to their customers esp in the day and age of Unilocal.I never write reviews but was compelled to give my thoughts here as a BUYER BEWARE. If you are looking to have a pleasant experience shopping skip this place all together. Other reviewers can verify my negative experience with the owner FARZANEH M.

This is my first time coming to this place and I love it !!! I came here for button for a jacket and a couple buckles, since I own a dry cleaners I am always looking for things like that, I use to go to F And S on pico but not anymore Faye is the sweetest lady o ever encounter she took her time showing me buttons no pressure I love this place …

Great prices and great service. Everything for crafters to when the dry cleaners lose your buttons.

Really happy when I left The Button Store today. Buying buttons isn’t brain surgery, but Faye, today, made it easy and fun. I was able to purchase some antique, mother of pearl buttons for a shirt.
Very pleased. Will be back soon.

The day prior to a business trip, a blazer I purchased online at a discount arrived with cheap and totally unacceptable buttons. I immediately ran over to The Button Store and they hooked me up! Fabulous selection and tremendous service. I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience and I will definitely use them again. Highly recommended.

I brought two suits in that I wanted new buttons for. Both the husband and wife came out and couldn’t have been more nice and helpful. Granted I was the only person in the store but I found them both very welcoming. They do enjoy an up-​sell. So if you don’t want to spend $ 100 on buttons. Stick to your guns.
I will definitely be back!

WOW!!! The Button Store has a plethora of just extraordinary selection of buttons from around the world. If you can’t find the exact button you desire at The Button Store you simply do not know what you are looking for. Thank you
for bringing this wonderful business to my attention.

Wow, what a selection! Prices are very reasonable for the quality & selection. I came all the way from San Diego to come here. The owners are very helpful, pleasant, & overall nice people.
This was well worth the trip to find astounding buttons to replace the ugly, plastic buttons on a double cashmere coat that cost a fortune but came with generic, plastic buttons! They also threw in button backers to protect the coat.
I highly recommend this store for all your button needs.

I recently bought a cream colored Olivia Pope-​esque wool walker coat for a fourth of its original cost and got an additional 15% off because I was missing four buttons! So I was in need of buttons…
Buttons! The Button Store certainly was not short on buttons and the variety was endless. To top it off, lovely proprietress Faye at The Button Store was amazing! She took one look at my coat and provided several different ornate buttons, from high quality vintage to replicas, so obviously varying prices. Faye was patient as I vacillated between going more modern or classic. I opted to go classic with a beautiful amethyst-​lavender hued antique button with brass detail.
So happy I stopped into this store and can’t wait to get these buttons on so I can Pope-​strut all over this town.
Now, I’m in need of a person to sew on these beautiful buttons…

They’ve got buttons !
Needed to grab some buttons and this place had a nice selection. I’ve never «buttoned shopped» before but this would be a great place to start. The lady showed me a few different buttons and then these really cool Italian ones. Sure she up-​sold me but they are some sweet buttons.
CHEERS.

Came here to replace my suit buttons, which were mother-​of-​pearl and had all been shattered by my cleaner. Faye helped me and was very knowledgeable and helpful, finding me a similar set and some alternatives. I felt very fortunate to have gotten the set I did — it was a pretty difficult match to make and not sure I would have been able to find the same thing elsewhere.
Parking tip: it’s next to Joan’s so street parking is tough, but apparently there is parking through an alley you can access from behind the Orlando Hotel.

Buttons, buttons, and more buttons! If you need it, chances are the button store has exactly what you are looking for. From beautiful jeweled vintage pieces to modern metallics and everything in between, I was incredibly impressed with the selection packed into this charming little shop.
The owners were great, super helpful. I had an idea as to what I was searching for (Needed to replace some godawful plastic monstrosities from an otherwise lovely coat), and they were able to pull buttons and make suggestions based on my input. They let me play around with a few options, and gave me honest opinions on which buttons they thought best suited the garment. Wonderful service!
My overall total was a bit pricier than I was hoping to spend, but given the quantity/​quality of my final selection, I feel that it was a fair transaction. And the owners threw in some free backers for my buttons, so that helped soften the blow. Just make sure you keep track of the prices before you fall in love with a specific look, and you’ll be set!

The owners are the sweetest people ever. They are very helpful and patient.
They’ve had any button I’ve ever looked for, not matter how obscure they’ve been. Prices can be on the pricier side, but that’s probably because you won’t find buttons like this anywhere else. You can spend the entire day hunting in the downtown garment district, or you can just pay a small premium, come here and save a days worth of searching.
If you’re ever looking for a unique button to replace one you’ve broken, or for a certain design, you’ll find it here.

I’m going to give it to you straight up, when I googled «button stores los angeles» I assumed some craft shops would come up. When I saw there was actually a store that just sold buttons I thought to myself «How does this place stay in business?» Well, let’s just say they have some AMAZING buttons.
My first visit to the store, I needed a gold button, I was being Scrooge McDuck for Halloween and he has a gold button on his blue coat, the blue coat I purchased had some cheap looking plastic situation. I was able to find a gold button here for a very cheap and affordable price, not only that but it made the jacket look way nicer!
My next visit I would need a total of 10 black buttons to put on a ridiculous shiny silver suit jacket (think disco ball). The buttons on the suit were some gray color and plastic. Let me just say I was actually overwhelmed with the amount of options. There were so many great buttons, from simple buttons to glass antique ridiculous buttons. Of course I opted for a flashy yet understated (makes no sense) glass button. Once again, it totally changed the look of the jacket and made it look even more expensive and nice.
It’s safe to say, the button store is absolutely amazing. I was truly shocked to see so many amazing buttons. It was definitely a great experience. Everyone who works here is very helpful and friendly.

This is the place!
I went in looking for a Men’s shirt button, 4 hole, mother of pearl, with rim 1 mm thick ~ 11 mm wide (metric), greeny grey. I followed the gentleman to a place on the wonderful wall of buttons — he pulls down a box, opens it and there it is ~ Magic!
No too pricey either. Yes and friendly and fast. Simple easy polite transaction. Had a bit of a chat and I was on my way.
They also have the bits and pieces you need if you wish to sew your buttons on yourself which is better than having them done by machine. There is a knack to it though…
I parked down Sweetzer as 3^rd was a nightmare. Perhaps they have a park around back?
