Buttons by Lou Lou started in 2008 with the idea of making presents for friends and family. It quickly became out of control and I have made a lot more buttons than I ever thought possible! All by hand - one at a time. It fits well with having 2 little boys at home, as they only give me small bits of time for my making. I love fabric, but I can't sew, so this is the perfect excuse to buy beautiful fabric. The fabric is my main inspiration. My creative process is very simple and involves more matching and co-ordinating rather than making new things. I match fabrics to products and co-ordinate complimentary buttons with colour tones or themes. I like simplicity and I like to let the beautiful fabrics speak for themselves. My style is evolving over time as I do indulge my previously hidden creative side but my natural inclination is toward simple and classic design.
