In Europe, the button appeared rather late and reached the north through oriental influences via the trade routes of the long-distance travellers across the Mediterranean. But before the middle of the 13th century, the button was still hardly widespread in fashion.
In the Middle Ages, the button often had a spherical shape, but flat buttons were also used. A typical medieval button, however, did not have holes, but had a small eyelet on the back with which the button was sewn to the garment.
Buttons in the Middle Ages were often made of pewter, but brass, bronze and even silver buttons were also in use. Unlike today, however, the button in the Middle Ages was sewn directly onto the hem of the garment and closed with an eyelet on the opposite side.
