Parker Button

I come to Pitt 2 x a year and always make my way down to Carson Street — i happened upon this quaint shop because of the scarves I eyed when I was walking to dinner down there. Adore them and buy as many as I can each time I am there. Next time (in April) I will be purchasing wedding accessories for my 2 nieces that have upcoming fall weddings — I know I will be able to get them something that no one else has! Love it!

Parker Button Company has been a mainstay in Pittsburgh since 1915. It’s last move in 2004 was from Downtown to Southside’s Carson Street. This little shop, shared with Clarissa Boutique, offers some of the most distinguished, hard to find buttons around. Whether using them for fashion or craft, you will be thrilled to find these often OOAK treasures. Glass, wooden, rhinestone, pearl, painted, bakelight. You are apt to find something to delight.
Now just a small part of Clarissa Boutique’s charm, it is my favorite place for vintage and hard to find buttons for the most discerning project. Drawer’s, button boards, and bins hold the delicate gem like finds.
True button lovers sometimes never actually «use» them as much as admire them. I on the other hand, reincarnate them as rings, pendant, and charms. Parker Button has some pretty cool stuff just screaming for reincarnation, and so I happy oblige their sweet calls for rescue.
I highly recommend Parker Button Company.
