Ascoli

Button maker Ascoli Bottoni is an historical company founded by Umberto Ascoli, just outside Milan in 1903.

They were one of the very first to jump onto the emerging prêt-à-porter trend post-War and engage with up and coming designers of the time like Karl Lagerfeld and Pierre Cardin to design Ascoli’s first collections. 

Now the business is run by the 6th generation of the Ascoli family, alongside a team of young creative designers and sales representatives, across Italy and Asia. 

The brand’s innovation hub, Ascoli Lab, along with its expertise in all the best materials used in the market, ensure that they produce some of the highest-quality, sustainable buttons in the market like buttons from recycled horn, coffee bean, recycled paper, canapa, and rice.
