River buttons are buttons made with NATURAL SHELLS .
Features of RIVER buttons
- These shell buttons are called RIVER ; they are white with a small, shimmering pattern. They are very well made and can be completely reversible.
- The top part is completely flat and smooth; this button gives a natural elegance to any garment where it is placed.
- Available in all sizes; minimum order quantities vary by size. Available in 6 sizes for immediate purchase and small quantities.
- RIVER is a 100% natural and biodegradable material, as it comes from natural shells.
- It has no added treatment.
- Mother-of-pearl buttons are perhaps among the oldest buttons in existence, along with bone buttons.
- Mother-of-pearl buttons are made from natural shells, and depending on the type of shell, they have different names. At Ecoboton, we sell the two most well-known varieties: River and Akoya.
- The River shell is white with small pearly veins; these are buttons with a very flat and perfect surface. In contrast, Akoya buttons are very irregular and have varying shades, with a silvery-gray color and iridescent flecks on one side and a shell-gray color on the other.
What are its specifications?
The main characteristics of mother-of-pearl buttons are their completely ecological origin, meaning they pass all tests for toxic products and contact allergens. Furthermore, they are fully biodegradable at the end of their useful life.

- The 15 mm size is used for shirts and skirts, and for baby coats.
- The 18 mm size is used in trousers, light jackets, crafts, diaper carriers, and duvet cover closures.
How can they be used?
They are used just like any other button and require no special care when washing or ironing, as they withstand soaps and high temperatures perfectly.
What are the benefits of using shell buttons?
The benefits of using shell buttons are, on the one hand, using a product of natural origin without any other chemical process or petroleum derivative, which means that once it reaches the end of its useful life it can decompose without residue.
And then there's the added benefit of the appearance of a natural product; no two are alike, they are all different and have a different beauty than those manufactured in molds, which are exactly the same.
