Our unique home grown and hand crafted applewood and butternut buttons can last lifetimes. We oil them gently by hand with organic jojoba oil. Each Autumn we prune our small fruitwood orchard. Sustainably this way we collect various size branches that are perfect for buttons, clasps and handles. We plant new nut and fruit trees each year, partly in order to harvest their pruned branches for timeless buttons of all sizes. The winter months inside while it is snowing are perfect for the quiet and calm process of hand carving our wood. We also grow and carve butternut, maple, cherry, golden birch and ironwood. This years applewood will be darker and more spalted.

We have usually used wild Ethically harvested and vintage globally sourced leathers of all kinds. These hides have been stored in timeless ways for decades, used in small quantities for bespoke projects and special moments.
Yet now these times are unusual, and we aspire to be better than ever as we get through into a better future. Our Current skins come from the mid west of the United States. We use the finest American vegetable tanned oiled saddle leather (cow), and vegetable tanned goat skins. This tanning process is natural and uses husks of nuts and tannins from other plants and trees to create an Earth tone color palette that is safer for human skin and has a non toxic legacy with ultimate longevity.
We are inspired by timelessness, the universal joy and awe of being immersed in a pure natural landscape. Our designs come from a mountainside and the sky, days and night spend searching the clouds and stars for wonder. Honoring the animals, extending their afterlife into ours.
