ABOUT US

With Victor Inventions you can sew a button in less than a minute, and it’s so resistant that you’ll never have to resew the button again.

You don’t need a needle, matching thread, scissors or thimble, nor do you need any special needlework skills. From now on, anyone can fix a button in no time and very easily.

Victor Inventions® works like a nylon tie: it slips through from under the fabric, it passes through the button holes and it locks into its small plate hidden beneath the fabric.

With all of our products, we focus on quality by having our products subject to rigorous quality checks before it reaches you. 

 

We are located in United Kingdom.

Please read this privacy policy carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us.

Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The processing of the purchase contract also requires such personal data, which are in connection with the respective order.

The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is given.
