Frequently Asked Questions
What is EverFine Buttons?
EverFine Buttons is a specialty wholesale button store offering a wide selection of classic, vintage, new-old-stock, and hard-to-find buttons from a variety of brands.
Our inventory includes buttons manufactured in Italy, Korea, and the USA, with many styles available in their original wholesale boxes.
Are your buttons sold individually?
No. EverFine Buttons specializes primarily in wholesale buttons sold by the box.
Depending on the product, box quantities may range from approximately 1 Gross to 24 Gross.
Please check each product listing for the exact quantity included.
What does “1 Gross” mean?
1 Gross = 144 pieces.
For example:
- 1 Gross = 144 buttons
- 2 Gross = 288 buttons
- 4 Gross = 576 buttons
- 6 Gross = 864 buttons
- 12 Gross = 1,728 buttons
- 24 Gross = 3,456 buttons
Please note that some vintage or older factory packaging may vary, so always refer to the individual product description for the exact quantity.
Are these vintage buttons?
Many of our buttons are vintage or new-old-stock (NOS) items from older wholesale inventories.
New-old-stock means the buttons were manufactured in the past but have remained unused in storage, often in their original boxes.
Some styles may have been discontinued and may no longer be manufactured today.
Are the buttons used?
Unless specifically stated otherwise in the product listing, our new-old-stock buttons are unused inventory.
Because some boxes are vintage and have been stored for many years, the original packaging may show signs of age, shelf wear, writing, fading, labels, or other storage-related marks.
The condition of the buttons and packaging will be described as accurately as possible in each listing.
Why do some boxes look old?
A large portion of our inventory comes from long-held wholesale stock.
Original boxes may show normal signs of age such as:
- Fading
- Shelf wear
- Handwritten markings
- Old labels
- Tape residue
- Dust or discoloration
- Worn corners or packaging
For many collectors, designers, and vintage buyers, the original packaging is part of the history and character of the product.
Where are your buttons made?
Our collection includes buttons manufactured in several countries, especially:
Made in Italy
Made in Korea
Made in USA
The country of manufacture will be listed in the product description whenever that information is available.
Do you carry multiple brands?
Yes.
EverFine Buttons carries a broad assortment of button brands, including vintage, discontinued, established, and specialty labels.
Our goal is to build a comprehensive A-to-Z wholesale button collection featuring a wide range of brands, sizes, colors, materials, and styles.

Inventory changes regularly, especially for limited vintage stock.
Are all styles available in multiple sizes and colors?
Not always.
Because many of our products are vintage, discontinued, or limited-stock items, certain styles may only be available in specific sizes, colors, or quantities.
If you find a style that works for your business or project, we recommend purchasing the quantity you need while it is available.
Will sold-out vintage buttons be restocked?
In many cases, no.
Some of our vintage and new-old-stock buttons come from discontinued inventories that cannot be reordered from the original manufacturer.
Once a particular style, size, color, or box quantity sells out, it may never become available again.
Are the colors exactly the same as they appear on my screen?
We make every effort to photograph and describe our buttons accurately.
However, actual colors may vary slightly due to:
- Computer or phone screen settings
- Lighting conditions
- Camera settings
- Age of vintage materials
- Natural variations between production lots
For wholesale orders, please review all product photos and descriptions carefully before purchasing.
Can there be slight differences between buttons in the same box?
Yes, especially with older or vintage inventory.
Minor variations in color, finish, texture, or manufacturing may occur between production lots or within older stock.
These variations are generally part of the character of vintage or new-old-stock merchandise.

How do I know the size of a button?
Button size information will be provided in the product listing whenever available.
Buttons may be identified by ligne (L) size, millimeters, inches, or another original manufacturer size designation.
Please carefully review the size information before ordering.
What is a Ligne size?
Ligne, often abbreviated as L, is a traditional measurement commonly used for buttons.
As a general reference:
40 Ligne is approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Because conversions are approximate, please refer to the actual measurements provided in each product listing whenever possible.
Are the original boxes included?
When shown and described in the product listing, buttons are sold with their original or existing wholesale packaging.
Vintage boxes may have cosmetic wear from age and storage.
Please review the product photos for the condition of the packaging.
Can I use your buttons for resale?

Many of our customers purchase wholesale buttons for use in retail stores, sewing businesses, apparel production, craft businesses, or resale.
Buyers are responsible for determining whether a product is suitable for their intended business or application.
