Cute As A Button Interview

I had the pleasure of asking a few questions to some very talented and creative ladies. Owners of Cute As A Button, a unique and adorable accessories line, Whitney Kennedy and Chanelle Wiggins are on the move making their mark in the fashion arena of accessories! Lets see what these two have to say!

Q. What inspired you to create Cute As A Button and how did the two of you come together for this venture?

A. We were always looking for a craft that displayed our creativity and passion for fashion from our out of the box perspective. Also we love to accessorize and we kept finding that sometimes our accessories were just not giving us that signature look that we were trying to accomplish. So one day we were both getting ready for an event and found that we were adding little trinkets onto our already made accessories. And we were like "If we have to do all of this; we can just make our own stuff from scratch." So then we just did it!

Q. How did you come up with the company's name?


A. We wanted a name that literally described how the individual will feel when they have our product on. We wanted it to be almost like a "flavor you could taste with your eyes."

Q. Where do you see Cute As A Button five years from now?

A. Five years from now we see Cute As A Button as a corporate chain with hundreds of locations nation wide and then of course heading overseas. More than likely Japan will be first, because they are very FASHION FORWARD. And also we have plans to add a couture dog collection, by high demand. Who knew that so many owners wanted their precious pups to sport the same look as them?


Q. How would one accessorize with these fashionable buttons?

A. Well the possibilities for accessorizing with our buttons are LITERALLY endless. They can spruce up pretty much ANY tangible item. For example, headbands, purses, book bags, hoodies, blazers, gloves, UGG boots..you name it.

Q. What material do you use to design these cute buttons?


A. Any and everything a customer could possibly dream of or want, and the infrastructure is our little secret...but we can say that we are a green company and we use RECYCLED materials.

Q. Will Cute As A Button expand to other fashion accessories?


A. Absolutely

Q. What do you admire most about your business partner?


Whitney's Response: What I admire most about Chanelle is her adaptability and her sportsmanship. Because no matter what obstacle we have faced together, she always rises to the challenge and plugs in to get the job done. She has no problem communicating with me and she just understands me.

Chanelle's Response: What I admire most about Whitney is her creativity. It is a blessing to work with Whitney because she truly is an angel. Her compromising spirit is what allows this partnetship to work. Whitney is a very positive person and she allows me to also be creative and expressive in my own way. Whitney is very loyal; I know that together we rise and together we fall, which makes me want to work even harder and be loyal to her as well.

Q. How can one go about purchasing the buttons?

A. To purchase our LOVELY buttons, we can be contacted via email and phone at: cuteasabutton@gmail.com or 706-402-1433 and 757-746-7714. And in a couple weeks they can be ordered straight from our website...it is currently under construction.
