question on button seller

[lady serena]

Has anyone ordered from this wholesaler? http://www.buttons.com/Home.asp
I was thinking of ordering some buttons for a Pirate coat and Im looking for a place that sells them at a reasaonable price. If anyone has any other place they like to get buttons from could you please give me a website? Thank you,  Lady Serena

they will only sell to wholesale/distributor accounts.
Their minimum order is pretty large, I tried to order from them last year with my company info but just couldnt bring myself to spend $100 on button in one shot.

forgot to mention that I registered and opened an account with them but haven't ordered anything yet, again the $100 minimum on the first order

Have you tried www.pillagedvillage.com for buttons? That's where I order a lot of mine I use for Pirate Coats and garb. Because I am a business, I qualify for the Wholesaler's Orders. But even at retail, their button selection is quite affordable. I see the website has been revamped and easier to navigate.

Pillaged village is also my first go-to for trims as well. I have been doing business with them for close to 10 years now. I also order clasps, Coak clasps, decorative Hook and Eyes, etc.

Here's a close-out design I bought a gross(144) of last year. These buttons are lovely and would do well for a Pirate coat. http://pillagedvillage.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=44_45&products_id=209

I love Pillaged Village for buttons.

That said, if you an find what you want at Joanns, they are currently running a buy one get one free sale on Buttons, so they may be close to Pillaged Village once you factor in shipping.
