The white porcelain buttons used on this button down shirt are hand-rolled and cut by the designer’s mother at her pottery studio in Toronto. Each hole is manually pierced and all the buttons are finely sanded to achieve the final desired aesthetic.
When the clay has dried, the buttons are fired for 10½ hrs. at 1240°C / 2264°F.
The only way to dye something blue naturally is to use indigo. Unlike its
synthetic copy, natural indigo adds a subtle dimension to cloth that changes in tone
and character as the garment is worn.
