Buttons
The beating heart of YOMI
“The buttons are the element of flamboyance that is so dear to YOMI. They are the extravagant “bijoux”, the everlasting dramatic elegance, glistening treasures and the intimate “accomplice” of the blazers. But they hold more to their heart than that, they echo a sentimental value too.”
Inspired by our Founder, Fanny’s grandmother Zélie’s earring collection, an exquisite trove of treasured pieces curated across a lifetime that forms a captivating glimpse of intuitive poise and allure. The YOMI button is a homage to this feeling reformed and reimagined.

"I always loved watching my grandmother get ready and helping her dress for all manner of occasions. I was just a child, and she would already ask me to advise her on what to wear.
She has the most incredible eye for elegance. Her wild, eclectic taste, regardless of its origin—from Cartier to local markets—inspired my own journey, and our shared adventures laid the foundation for YOMI. These buttons are a living memory and a love story, symbolising those treasured moments and her enduring influence."
The blazer silhouette, the luxurious textured fabrics, bold shoulder-line shapes and enlivened colours all radiate from these statement buttons, YOMI’s iconic motifs, creating the Blazers’ DISTINCT POSTURE AND DARING.
