Shank Buttons - GO AWAY!!!

It's all about beautiful coats...until they sew SHANK buttons on them.

Before I say anything, people who know me, know that I love Forever 21. The Forever 21 here in Birmingham is absolutely massive, it's basically a woman's playground. The store ambience is amazing and the atmosphere is so good, it's hard to leave the shop.



I recently purchased this coat from Forever 21 for only 40 pounds. Where else can you purchase a double breasted tweed coat with faux fur lining and antique hardware... for 40 pounds? And if you're lucky enough to still be a student, you get more discount.

I absolutely adore this coat, it's quite light in weight but keeps you very warm. I had to take it off the other day in 5 degrees celcius because I was feeling sweaty! The person I was with thought I went mental for 2 minutes. Anyways, it's a great coat until you see the BUTTONS. Can designers please design new buttons that don't have the little hook.


Shank Buttons

These buttons, no matter what clothing brand use them, ALWAYS come lose or even fall off completely. They are beautiful, but surely there must be a way to prevent these buttons from falling off all the time. Oh wait, I know... let the customers sew them on with extra strong thread after purchasing a garment that has shank buttons on them. NO, that's not how it works.


Seeeeeee, I wasn't lying.
