Change currency to $US. Incomparable, SA was started as a small company in 1984 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Working around a kitchen table, often late into the night, Jennifer Pascall was busy transforming small pieces of clay into buttons of all shapes and sizes. As the company evolved, ladies from the local community were hired and trained in the art of button making. Today, Jennifer’s entire family, as well as 45 women from the local community are involved in the business. Most of the Incomparable team had never held a paintbrush before they joined the company and are now absolute masters of their brushes and justifiably proud of their work. The ladies sense of belonging within the company and skills as crafters not only gives them tremendous pleasure but also provides them with economic empowerment and has uplifted all their families.Each button is carefully hand crafted from a our unique mixture of ceramic and stoneware clay and hand painted with an assortment of glazes. The use of natural materials as opposed to plastic, has proven itself to be extremely popular within an increasingly environmentally conscious market. Due to a unique manufacturing process, the buttons are both machine washable and dry cleanable.* The process involves numerous firings at extremely high temperatures. The result is a product of exceptional strength and durability. Sew them on with confidence. (*The items are fully washable, we recommend that the garment is turned inside out prior to washing, and that the normal care is taken in the handling of the item.) | ||||
