Introducing my vintage buttons – sourced from an old, unused stock of buttons and buckles, most likely made in France.

This set of 4 couture buttons, each measuring 17 mm, is crafted from a smooth teal green casein, giving them a glossy, vintage appeal. Each button features a distinct, sculpted swirl design, with a raised, textured surface that adds dimension. The buttons also have a classic shank back, which makes them easy to sew onto garments or accessories. The swirl pattern is deeply carved, giving these vintage buttons an elegant and artistic appearance.

These buttons are well-suited for both couture and design projects, perfect for adding a vintage flair to blouses, cardigans, or even handbags. Their durable material and distinctive look make them a versatile addition to any sewing or craft project.

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.
