Corozo button care

Corozo Buttons

Corozo, which is derived from the nut of the Tagua Palm, presents an appealing texture and natural origin. The buttons made from Corozo offer the durability of conventional plastic buttons but come with additional attributes that set them apart.

Why do we use Corozo Buttons?

Natural Origin: Originally harvested from the Tagua Palm, Corozo Buttons are completely plant-based, made from a renewable resource.
Texture: Their natural grain gives each button a unique aesthetic that's hard to replicate with synthetic materials.
Durability: Despite their natural origin, Corozo Buttons are extremely durable, resisting wear and tear and maintaining their finish over time.

Production Process of Corozo Buttons:

The Corozo Buttons start their life as Tagua nuts, harvested from the Tagua Palm. These nuts are then set to dry naturally for a period, after which they are carved and shaped into buttons. The drying and carving process is aimed at preserving the natural texture and durability of the material. The buttons can also be dyed, adding another layer of versatility to them.

Care

Clothing with corozo buttons can be machine washed, steamed, dry cleaned, and even ironed with no harmful effects. Corozo is, however, a porous material that should not be submerged underwater for extended periods of time (24 hours or longer) as some warping may occur.
