5. Button Thief 

Chennai-based Button Thief Co. (fondly #theblousemakers) started with one idea: if a sari is about comfort, the blouse should be too. Their range now goes beyond blouses into everyday hand-loomed apparel, yardage, and yes, their signature buttons. Everything is crafted from natural, locally grown fibres and designed for ease and elegance. What makes them special is how personal each piece feels, timeless, versatile, and stitched with a quiet wink of nostalgia.
