THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
State the role of each button, its location and attachment requirements. If it forms part of a closure, identify the corresponding opening or loop. Decorative appearance approval does not confirm attachment performance or suitability for the intended use.

A visual substitute may not work with the existing opening. Review the complete closure before approving a changed button.
