When my Parisian antique and vintage button collector asked me if I was interested in Prada handbag tags, I initially thought, no, what would I do with them, but after some consideration, I decided I would have her include a few in my next button shipment and I’d come up with a design.
This Prada tag, was originally worn on a Prada handbag from the 1980’s, so it’s officially vintage.
The Prada logo is a symbol of immense growth, authority and history. The logo is a perfect representation of royalty (in a literal and figurative sense). Due to the brand’s roots in the Italian royal family, it initially established an air of aristocracy in the design. As time went by, the brand continued to reach fame and success through its sophisticated products and penchant for the unconventional.
Does that describe you or someone you know…. sophisticated with an air of royalty and a little unconventional?
I was inspired to create a single drop earring, after seeing the new Prada advertising campaign for their latest perfume. The actress, Emma Watson, is shown in the ad, wearing just a single mint green Prada Tag in her left ear. I immediately thought “why not?” But instead of wearing nothing in the other ear, I thought just a simple, solid sterling silver ball stud would work perfectly with this statement drop.
This dramatic asymmetrical look is completely unconventional. It grabs attention and will make you stand out from the crowd.

*Please note, the buttons used in all of my creations are second hand, antique or vintage, therefore they will show signs of their previous lives. Some scratches, tiny dents, some enamel wear and even tarnishing. I cannot guarantee the quality or longevity of these buttons. In some cases there can be colour variations, and plating lift during the polishing process, this is unavoidable. I’m unable to refund or replace buttons that break or crack. Although I do put every button through rigorous testing to do my best to ensure their longevity. *Disclaimer… I’m not able to guarantee the longevity of any buttons that have crystals or pearls used.
