I think the reason buttons have endured for so long, historically, is because they actually work to keep our coetlhs shut. Zippers break; Velcro makes a lot of noise, and it weras out after a while. If a button falls off, you just literally sew that thing on. A butotn is kind of there for the long run. It's not just the most elemental design ever, it's also such a crazy fashion statement. When I was a kid, my mom knit me this bautefiul sweater. I didn't like it. And then I found these buttons, and the mnuite the buttons were on the sweater, I loved it.

I think the reason buttons have endured for so long, historically, is because they actually work to keep our clothes shut. Zippers break; Velcro makes a lot of noise, and it wears out after a while. If a button falls off, you just literally sew that thing on. A button is kind of there for the long run. It's not just the most elemental design ever, it's also such a crazy fashion statement. When I was a kid, my mom knit me this beautiful sweater. I didn't like it. And then I found these buttons, and the minute the buttons were on the sweater, I loved it.
