Product Description
Some closures just fasten a garment. A frog closure gives the whole front its character. This Frog Closure Button from ANI Accessories, also called a Chinese knot button, pairs a sculpted matte knot with a clean double strand of braided cord. Together they form a closure that works as a design detail.
At 16 cm long when fastened, it is a bold, statement-size frog button. It is made to sit across a centre-front opening and draw the eye down the placket. The neat braided texture and the soft matte finish of the knot keep it refined rather than costume-like. That is why it works on contemporary streetwear jackets as well as Nehru jackets, bandhgalas, kurtas, cheongsam-inspired dresses and fusion wear.
Choose from cream, white or black. Use a tonal colour for a quiet, tailored look. For a graphic statement, contrast it with the base fabric, such as black frogs on ivory or white frogs on navy. Fashion designers, boutiques, garment manufacturers and DIY creators use these knot buttons to give jackets, coats and ethnic wear a finished, considered front.

How to Use?
-
Plan the placement: Mark the centre-front line of the garment. Decide how many frogs you need and space them evenly along the opening.
-
Separate the halves: Each set has a knot half and a loop half. Place the knot half on one side of the opening and the loop half on the other, so they meet at the centre.
-
Pin in position: Fasten the knot through the loop first, then pin both halves to the garment. This keeps them perfectly aligned.
-
Stitch securely: Unfasten, then hand-stitch each half along the cords using matching thread and small, discreet stitches. Add extra stitches near the knot and the loop, where the closure takes the most strain.
-
Fasten and check: Pass the knot through the loop and check that the garment sits flat and the frogs line up.
Tip: For heavier fabrics or high-wear garments, back the area with interfacing for a cleaner, longer-lasting finish.
FAQs
What is a frog closure button?
A frog closure is a decorative fastener made of two parts, a knot and a loop. The knot passes through the loop to close the garment. It is also known as a Chinese knot button or frog button.
What size is this frog closure?
It measures 16 cm when fastened, with a 1 cm double-cord width and a 1.7 cm knot.
Is it only decorative, or does it actually fasten?
