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 4 large buttons, each 30 mm in diameter, made from casein. These buttons are a bright red color with a bold design that stands out. The front has a textured, dome surface with a sunken area that shows off glossy, raised dots, while the back has a smooth finish with a built-in shank for easy attachment.

In vintage button terminology, "couture" often refers to buttons used in high-end fashion or custom-made garments, known for their unique and distinctive styles. These buttons reflect that couture quality, making them ideal for statement pieces like coats, jackets, or chunky cardigans. Their striking design and substantial size also make them a great choice for fashion accessories or even home decor 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.
