Maureen stocks a very exclusive thick silk Union Jack ribbon which makes the most exquisite Union Jack buttons. Taylors Buttons is the only shop to stock a facsimile of the celebrated ‘High Sheriff’ Buttons (the High Sheriff of London is the only person allowed to take his or her sheep over London Bridge!) and it’s not only the vintage stuff that she is known for; she has an extensive and exclusive range of modern plastic decorative and Swarovski crystal-studded buttons, too.

Using her highly trained eye, Mrs Rose will pick out the stars of any current collection and boost her stock with new and modern buttons which are sought after by the fashion industry and fashion and dressmaking students alike.

In fact, if someone requests a particular button which Taylors Buttons does not stock, Mrs Rose will consult her extensive contacts, forged from half a century of experience in the button industry, to source the desired button if at all possible.

Dry cleaners from all around the area come to Taylors Buttons to find replacements for lost buttons. If only every neighbourhood had a resource like this!
