Buttons?

Hi,

I tried searching for this here and couldn't find it, so I hope I'm not being redundant. I also hope I've put this in the right spot...

Anyway, I'm looking for cool buttons... Anyone have a clue? There's supposed to be a great store in Zurich and I haven't been able to find it, though I've seen crafts stores.

Thanks,
EP

Re: Buttons?

I love buttons too. I usually find the best ones at charity shops.

Yeah, yeah! That's it! Buttons are cool... Thanks folks for the replies. I'll also check out the charity shops. Any ideas where such a shop would be in Zurich?

Re: Buttons?

Hi eperry,

you could try the shops mentioned in this thread :- http://www.englishforum.ch/other-gen...ps-zurich.html

They are those craft type shops and usually have a large selection of buttons as well..

good luck

Re: Buttons?

Oh, also, fabric stores, sewing machines stores & the coop (the ones with curtain section) have these tubes of buttons usually along the wall. I don't usually buy new buttons at these places, but I just remembered they have buttons too.

Re: Buttons?

Thanks. I will definitely check out the fabric stores and the like - as well as posts you mention, Sheewie. I'm looking to replace the buttons on a suit with some funky ones...

Cheers,
