More about Button Pati

They are sold by the set rather than singly, so a full placket matches. Anti-tarnish coated, gift boxed, and available with cash on delivery across Pakistan.

Because button pati sit on fabric rather than skin, they avoid the sweat and perfume exposure that shortens the life of earrings and rings. With dry storage between wears they hold their finish for years. Remove them before washing the garment.

Common questions about button pati

What is button pati?

Button pati are decorative buttons worn along the front placket of a kurta, sherwani or shirt in Pakistani and North Indian dress. They are usually gold-toned, often stone set, and are attached to the garment rather than sewn in permanently, so one set can be moved between outfits.

How many buttons come in a set?

Sets are sized to cover a full placket, and the exact count is listed on each product page. Buying by the set rather than singly is what keeps the finish and stone colour consistent down the front.

Are button pati only for men?

No. They are worn on both men's kurtas and sherwanis and on women's kurtas and shirts. The category is defined by where the piece sits on the garment, not by who wears it.

How do I care for button pati?

Remove them before washing the garment, wipe them dry with a soft cloth, and store them sealed in the gift box. They last far longer than skin-contact jewelry because they are not exposed to sweat or perfume.
