Description
Art. 30128 is a 2-hole sew-through button with a soft matte tortoise-shell pattern, molded from durable polyester resin. The matte finish gives a refined, organic look — less reflective than glossy tortoise — making it a strong choice for shirts, blouses, light blazers, and tailored separates that lean understated rather than ornate. Available in five ligne sizes from 18L (shirt cuff) to 32L (blazer front), sold by the dozen for sampling or by the gross (144 pieces) for production runs.

Why 2-hole instead of 4-hole. 2-hole buttons sew with a single horizontal thread bar visible on the face, giving a cleaner, more minimal silhouette than the cross-stitch of a 4-hole button. They're traditionally used on shirts, blouses, and lightweight tailoring where the button works as a quiet accent rather than a focal point. For structured outerwear, blazer fronts, and statement closures, see our 4-hole tortoise option (Art. 137).

Frequently asked questions
What is Art. 30128 made of?
Polyester resin molded with a matte tortoise pattern in warm browns. No animal materials are used.
What's the difference between matte and glossy tortoise buttons?
Matte tortoise has a softer, non-reflective surface that reads refined and understated; glossy tortoise reflects more light and reads more traditional. Both share the same mottled brown pattern.
Why 2-hole instead of 4-hole?
2-hole buttons leave a cleaner thread silhouette on the face — a single horizontal bar instead of a cross — which works well on shirts, blouses, and minimalist tailoring.
What size button do I need for a shirt?
18L–20L for cuffs and shirt fronts.
