Knopferlmayer

From the outside, Knopferlmayer is quite an inconspicuous shop on the Rathausplatz. On the inside, however, curious visitors are met with a world of buttons and crafts accessories unmatched by any other place.


The realm of buttons

For over 250 years thee Mayer family has run this quaint shop – a true treasure trove for crafts accessories, lace edging and buttons. The German diminutive of button (Knopferl) is also what gave the old-established business its name: Knopferlmayer. There are countless little boxes of buttons arranged in neat rows – an abundance, unique perhaps beyond Austria.

A return to the past

Be it for bedding or children's clothing, for traditional costumes or fashionable trendy clothing, for elegant purposes or as decorative ornaments – the possibilities here are endless. Despite the incredible abundance of buttons, the friendly shop assistants always know exactly where each button is. The old cash register then gives customers the feeling of having travelled back in time. It remains to be hoped that this useful time machine will be around for a long time to come.
