Jimmy Buttons

So helpful and even with the most wonderful selection of you can’t find what you are looking for Jimmy will come to the rescue

Worst customer experience ever. The man serving me was swearing at his staff member. He was rude to me because I was purchasing a small amount on card, which I told him I was happy to purchase more. Was told it wasn't the point and then he went on a rant about how he just trying to make a living.I tried to support a local business, however will buy my buttons online from a multi-national company next time.

Jimmy's buttons is fantastic. He specialises in every button you can think of, and if you need it in a particular colour, he will try to get it done for you. Chains, ribbons, laces, feathers, anything to make your outfit or constume special.

Throughly an unpleasant experience from start to finish. Shelves unorganised making it difficult to find what you are looking for. Owners arguing loudly, swearing at each other and yelling across the store.When I finally got service at the counter and tried to pay on card for my $9.50 purchase. The owner (Jimmy) yelled at me for spending less than $20, claiming that the store requires purchases to be over $20 on card. He then blamed customers who pay on card for the reason his business is failing……..Would not recommend, go to drapers or the fabric store on Brunswick street, and darn cheep fabrics on smith street for better service and quality trims.

What a collection! Jimmy Buttons is certainly an amazing maze of all forms of hardware, trims, attachments and closures. It has a small entrance and can feel a bit tight but for the amount of stock it has, it's quite a big store.Some of the hardware is very pricy. The same things can be bought at other stores for much less but majority of it is really good and the quality is amazing.Jimmy Buttons is a great hidden gem. Highly recommend if you're having trouble finding something in other stores.

I didn't know stores like this still existed - it's like an extradimensional pocket of wonderfulness, complete with hidden treasures and eccentric characters. Go in with the intention to browse.Hard to find - it's set back from the rest of the buildings so you might walk by it a couple of times.

What an amazing treasure trove of a store! Jimmy is absolutely fantastic. He has an incredible supply of everything you could ever dream of including piping, buttons and trims. On top of that he has an amazing eye and was so helpful in picking out the exact buttons for my projects. Can't wait to go back! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

A Melbourne treasure! An amazing selection of buttons & trims. Love getting served by Jimmy himself~ such a funny guy & so so helpful & very supportive of young designers. I buy alot of the materials for my business here. Highly recommend!

Old school shop, old school experience. The front doesn't even look like a shop at all, and the interior can be very overwhelming. The owner can be outspoken, but not more or less than any average human. Just behave like a normal down to earth person too, and I can't see any issues arising.All that aside, one truly has to appreciate that a shop like this still exists. If you take your time, you find everything here, in the exact shape, size, material or colour you require. No other physical shop that I know of offers this; you're typically dependent on online shops where you are forced to order larger quantities than you require and pay shipping costs on top of all that.Final word of warning: the owner strongly prefers cash payment, especially for small amounts. They were kind enough to allow me to pay electronically regardless, because I didn't have cash on me. I'd be happy enough to bring cash next time.In summary, from a pragmatic point of view, this is a gem. Don't expect special treatment nor the sterile environment of a modern" shop

When you first walk in, you can be almost overwhelmed by the sheer variety of buttons available. Fortunately, assistance is not far away. With a little help, you can quickly find whatever you’re looking for. There is a minimum of $20 for credit card purchases, so be sure to bring cash if you’re not intending to buy a lot of buttons.
