The origin of buttons is difficult to establish, but the word itself probably stems from either the French bouton for bud, or bouter to push. The French were passionate about the potential of the button and by 1250 AD had established the Button Makers Guild. The Guild produced beautiful buttons with great artistry, much to the delight of the aristocracy.
