Balwyn Shorts

Description: Welcome to Balwyn Button Boutique: Balwyn’s premier retailer of buttons, clasps, buckles and other tiny objects normally purchased in quantities wildly exceeding human need. Everything is sold individually from a wall of little wooden drawers, because sometimes you need one button, not a plastic packet containing nineteen future residents of the junk drawer. The business is completely fictional, but its commitment to unnecessarily specific customer service is absolute. Cool fact: Button-like shell ornaments existed in the Indus Valley more than 5,000 years ago, meaning humanity has been finding surprisingly elaborate ways to hold things together for a very long time.
