Unlike sew-through buttons, shank buttons sit slightly away from the fabric, creating extra space for thicker materials and allowing garments to fasten more comfortably. Their concealed attachment point provides a more refined finish, making them a popular choice for tailoring, outerwear and decorative fashion applications.

With over 3,100 styles available, you'll find everything from classic black, navy and brown buttons to pearlised finishes, metallic designs, decorative statement buttons and contemporary fashion styles. Available in a wide range of sizes suitable for delicate blouses and knitwear through to heavy coats, jackets and upholstery projects.

Many buttons are available individually, making it easy to purchase exactly the quantity required for repairs and alterations. Larger quantities are available across selected ranges, with bulk savings offered on many lines for designers, manufacturers and craft businesses.

Whether you're restoring a favourite coat, designing bespoke garments or searching for the perfect finishing touch for a sewing project, Ribbonmoon offers one of the UK's most comprehensive selections of shank buttons online.
