Le Sublime - Gold Hammered Shank Button, 18mm - Sold Individually

Refined, timeless, and worth every look. Atelier 27's Le Sublime is a hammered gold metal shank button - the texture of the hammered finish catches light differently from every angle, giving it a depth and warmth that polished plain metal buttons simply don't have. A 2025 introduction from Atelier 27, designed to bring an enduring, jewellery-like quality to your makes.

Designed and produced in France by Atelier 27 (Vingt-Sept), a French fabric and notions house founded by Athénaïs. The entire Atelier 27 button range is sourced from a manufacturer in the Lyon region - the heart of French textile craftsmanship - and every button is produced and finished in France. Atelier 27 recommend Le Sublime specifically for vests, skirts, and trousers - pieces where a closure detail can be a genuine design statement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this button sold individually or in a set?

Individually - price is per single button. Order the quantity you need. For a vest or skirt with a single button, just one; for a full jacket or coat placket, typically 5-7.

What is a hammered finish?

A hammered finish is created by striking the metal surface with a textured tool during production, leaving a pattern of small, irregular indentations across the face of the button. This gives the surface a faceted quality - it catches and reflects light differently from different angles, creating more visual depth than a plain polished surface.

How does Le Sublime differ from the other Atelier 27 gold buttons?

Le Sublime's hammered texture makes it more textural and organic-feeling than the smooth Grand Amour (22mm) and Petit Amour (11mm), and more substantial than the floral La Chicorée (12mm). At 18mm it sits between those sizes. It is the most versatile of the Atelier 27 gold range - at home on tailored pieces, knitwear, and everything in between.

What garments suit an 18mm button?

18mm is a very versatile mid-to-large size. Atelier 27 specifically suggest it for vests, skirts, and trousers. It also works well on cardigans and structured jackets - large enough to read as a design detail, but not so large it overwhelms finer fabrics.

Is this button machine washable?

Yes - machine wash inside out on a gentle cycle. The hammered gold metal construction is durable enough for regular machine washing with normal garment care.

What does Oeko-Tex certified mean?

Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification confirms the button has been independently tested and found free from harmful substances. For a metal button, this covers the alloy composition and any surface plating or treatment.
