Couture

This button reminds me of a Monet painting for some reason. It's not as old as most of my collection - coming from the 1950s - but I love the colours. It's part of a set of 7, which cost me next to nothing. The button is made of plastic and it's as light as a feather. I've recently come across someone who has 13,000 (yes, you read that correctly!) designs of buttons that were destined for French couture houses like Chanel and Fath. They date from 1931 to 1980, so this one is neatly in the middle. I have a feeling there may be one or two other designs I like out of 13,000. :)
