No one likes to wear plain cloth with no embellishments. In the same vein, a denim product is incomplete without a zipper, threads, metal buttons, rivets or even a proper leather label. Denim is not only defined by its fabric and washes, but also by its trims and accessories. These accessories, while defining the quality of the product also play a pivotal role in a garment's appearance, beautification and even marketing. And much like the fabric itself, denim accessories have evolved over time to meet the changing demands of consumers.
Buttons Buttons are one of the oldest and most basic of denim accessories. They are used to secure openings in garments, such as fly fronts, pockets, and waistbands.
Traditionally, denim buttons were made of metal or wood. However, in recent years, there has been a trend towards using more sustainable materials, such as recycled plastic and coconut shell.
One of the most significant innovations in denim buttons was the development of the shank button. Shank buttons have a metal stem that extends through the fabric and is secured on the other side with a washer. This makes them much stronger and less likely to pop off than traditional flat buttons. Another innovation is the development of laser-cut buttons. Lasercut buttons are made by using a laser to cut out the desired shape from a sheet of metal or plastic. This allows for more complex and intricate designs than traditional manufacturing methods. Buttons are now being used to create intricate designs on denim garments. For example, some designers are using buttons to create the illusion of embroidery or lace.
Rivets
Rivets are another essential denim accessory. They are used to reinforce high-stress points in garments, such as pocket corners and belt loops. Rivets are also used to add a decorative element to denim garments.
