New Funky Button GlitterBall

Only the glitteriest and ballsiest of buttons collide in this riot of flashy colour and sparkling effervescence, inspired by a time when John Travolta was King and the white boy played his funky music LOUD. Available on a stretchy chain, or as a toggle bracelet - if you’d like to order one before the page is built, simply order a bracelet through the site and then email us with your name, telling us which Glitterball you’d like and the Funky Button Team will do the rest!

Every Funky Button is a true original

Every piece of Funky Button jewellery is hand made here at Funky Towers and because we’ve uncountabillion’s of buttons to choose from, no two will ever be the same. Pssst... here’s the secret as to how we make all Funky Button jewellery so funkily fab... we load the funkiest and fabest of tunes into the iPod, we set it to ‘shuffle’ and let our hands and heart be guided by the funky vibes.

So what’s the Funky Button team listening to at the moment...?

Regina Spektor - Mad as a box of frogs but if you want some beautifully haunting anti-pop songs - they don’t come any better!

Chicane - Every track’s a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge big beat dance anthem - so max the volume, supa-max the sub, wave your arms in the air and feel the love!

Tame Impala - The Australasian psychedelic rockers website declares, “Tame Impala make psychedelic hypno-groove melodic rock music.”
Who are we to disagree? Brilliant!!!

Faithless - Because the Funky Button team went to see them recently.
A real party atmosphere - it was superb!!

Brian Eno - Perhaps the most influential composer/producer ever, ever, ever - until infinity and no returns. You will have heard his work a million times and not realised it was him - a true genius.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs - Post-Punk Art Rock at its best - ‘Maps’ should be the biggest selling tune on the planet!

Newton Faulkner - Makes us think of beach parties and warm summer nights.

A Place to Bury Strangers - American Shoegazing, Space Rock - Check out ‘In Your Heart’ on their ‘Exploding Head’ album - totally awesome!

Compass Points

Up-market lifestyle magazine ‘Compass South’, point their readers in the direction of valentine treats. For her it has to be an Original Funky Button bracelet. Thanks Compass South - the brown envelope stuffed with used fivers will be in the usual place!

NEW Funky Button Stickers

They’re new! They’re sticky! They’re FREE inside every foil-packed Funky Button purchase! The new fabtastic Funky Button stickers are the bestesterest yet. More colourful than ever, they feature FuBu in some of her most action packed poses to date...

Gasp at her holding her Slam Bam Ray Blaster. Copy (if you dare) her “I’m nonchalantly pointing to the right now!” pose. And finally, just gaze in amazement at her ‘hands behind the back, simply looking into camera.’ Combining the Bauer House aesthetic with the cinematic intensity of Man Ray, many have tried to emulate the simplistic beauty of this minimalist image before - all have tragically failed, leaving a carnage strewn detritus of wrecked careers, broken relationships and a permanent inability to blink.

Something to shout about

Funky Button is in the July/August edition of the multi-award winning girl’s magazine ‘Shout’. They say the bracelets are, “As cute as a button”. The Funky Button Team wants to say a huuuuuuuuuge “Thanks!!” to all at Shout and may the Goddess of Goodness send a flock of luminous Chuckle Bugs to light your way on life’s path forever... xxx

Funky Button goes shopping

‘Out on a Limb’, one of the leading trade magazines for the footwear and accessories market, gives Funky Button a supa feature in their February 2010 edition. They say, “If you’re looking for something a bit different this spring, check out the new range from Funky Button - inspired by glitter, colour and quirky charm. Each piece is hand-made using buttons and because of this, no two are ever the same.”
A great shot and a great little write up - thanks ‘Out on a Limb’!

Mizz magazine loves Funky Button

Funky Button has just been featured in top teen girl mag ‘Mizz’ and gets a supa ‘Mizz Loves’ sticker - yeah! They say Funky Button is, “Charming, fun, playful, cute ‘n’ quirky and extra-special.”

Nicola wears Funky Button

The Funky Button team is proud to introduce you to Nicola Butler.

What you do know about her, is she wears Funky Button jewellery (hey, every funky girl does!) What you probably don’t know, is that she’s the world’s top women’s wakeboard rider with more pro titles under her belt than it would be possible to list here.

She rides aggressive and fast, throws in amazing tricks and gets massive (we mean massive) air. Check out these videos and you’ll see what we mean...

Nicola: Trans World Sport
Nicola: The Future of Wakeboarding

Thanks for wearing Funky Button Nicola - we luv ya!

What happens when you place an order...?

The first thing we do is a very big thumbs up - followed by a couple of back flips and a rather embarrassing interpretation of a highland jig.

Your Funky Button jewellery is then lovingly assembled by hand and each piece is empowered with a generous sprinkling of good vibrations. We throw in a couple of funky stickers for luck and it’s all carefully sealed in the special foil packet - to ensure that it comes to you as fresh as the moment it was created.

The whole shebang is then encapsulated in the brightest orange jiffy bag (emblazoned with some more stickers to make sure you don’t miss it when it lands on your door mat) - and finally we pop it in the nearest post box - you know the one - near the big tree - next to the house with the Chiwawa that looks like Elvis Presley…?

And now that you are resplendent with your funky finery - go forth unto the world and spread the funky word.

The pick of the crop

The latest Funky Button harvest - Choppered straight in from the Himalayas. Firstly - We buff them until they gleam and scan them in the Rainbowometer to guarantee we use only the brightest and bestest colours - Then they pass through the patented Funkoflashotron to make sure only the flashiest, sparkliest, glitteriest Funky Buttons are used in original Funky Button jewellery.

Know what? - We could organise a funky harvest festival in celebration of the latest batch and bathe in buckets of Funky Buttons - And then we could dim the lights and watch Brad Pit in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ and we could invite ‘Buttons’ from Cinderella - No? - Oh well, please yourself!!
