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

This set of 4 buttons features a classic round shape with a smooth, flat surface and a simple two-hole design. Each button displays a marbled pattern with shades of cream and dark brown. This dual-tone pattern is evenly distributed across the surface, enhancing the natural look and feel. This effect is common in mock horn galalith buttons, giving them a natural, organic appearance that resembles horn.

Highly desired by vintage enthusiasts, the mock horn effect adds a retro touch to coats, cardigans, bags, and even throw pillows. Their neutral colours and classic design make them perfect for projects that seek an organic, timeless appeal.

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.
