Our Humble Beginnings
The Button Corner story started in 1967. What began as a small-scale operation, sparked by the innovative idea of Haji Abdul Latif, quickly established a foundation built on dedication and quality. His initial vision set the stage for decades of growth and industry excellence.
1970–1975: Establishing the Roots
Following its inception, Button Corner focused on consolidating its foundation, operating from a single flagship location during its first seven years. This period of steady, deliberate growth allowed the brand to solidify its market presence and prepare for future expansion.
1975–1985:
Network Expansion
Button Corner successfully expanded its retail footprint by opening several new locations. A key milestone during this decade was our landmark partnership with J&P Coats, which significantly accelerated our growth and elevated our business scale within the industry..
1985–1995: International Trade
Button Corner expanded into international commerce, launching import and export operations to serve a broader market. Sourcing extensively from global fashion and trade capitals—including Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan—the brand broadened its inventory with unique, high-quality products, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to customer trust and satisfaction.
1995–2000: Sourcing Global Trends
Staying ahead of the fashion curve has always been a hallmark of Button Corner. During this period, our CEO Muhammad Arshad personally traveled across Asia—visiting major trendsetting markets in Malaysia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand. These international business tours were dedicated to analyzing the latest garment trims and fashion movements, allowing us to bring world-class designs and innovative products back to our customers.
