How many of us actually have the time, inclination, or 'know how' to be able to sit down these days with a needle and thread and actually sew a button back on? Then 'button-Fix', a totally unique Swedish product and winner of Red Dot's 'Product of the Year' Prize 2014, which has been designed as the perfect solution to this particular problem – it now makes sewing kits totally redundant. Button-fix works by you placing its 'spiky' end through the fabric of your shirt, popping the button on it, then closing the other part of the device and rotating it until the clip piece falls off - leaving your button attached. The extremely simple process, which really does take just a few seconds, is clearly demonstrated in our video online at www.button-fix.org. To purchase a standard packet of four button-fix costs only €5.00 (£3.97) in black or white check out www.button-fix.org.
