Introducing my vintage button collection – sourced from an old, unused stock of buttons and buckles, likely from France or Belgium in the 1950s.

This set includes 2 large buttons at 22 mm and 2 smaller ones at 17 mm, all in a striking teal green casein. The buttons feature a unique raised dome shape with a rounded square outline, giving them a soft and sophisticated look. The shank back design ensures easy attachment and adds dimension to any garment.

These galalith buttons could be categorized as couture buttons due to the high level of craftsmanship, elegant design, and premium materials. They would be perfect for high-end fashion pieces, coats, blazers, or accessories like bags or hats, bringing a bold vintage flair to any project. These retro buttons are also great for collectors or anyone looking to add a unique and rare touch to their sewing or crafting projects.

And what is casein? Casein, from which galalith buttons are made, is technically a type of plastic but with natural origins. It's derived from milk protein, so while it?s a manufactured material, it's not a synthetic plastic like acrylic or polyester. Casein is often classified as a semi-synthetic material, as it combines natural components with a chemical process to create the final product.

NOTE: please note that colours may slightly differ in reality due to variations in screen types and the effects of photography.
