Ceramic buttons created from the fabulous Victoria and Albert Museum collection

Inspiring my designs this morning, I stumbled upon these V&A buttons which feature V&A designs created exclusively for the V&A. Individual button price £1.75 (unfortunately you cannot pick the exact button you would like or order 5 of the same design). Perhaps it’s more creative to use five different buttons for a cardigan or as dress fastening.
