Oversized Vintage Button - Mother of Pearl

The Legacy Vintage Button Collection

In celebration of 40 years of Millbank heritage, we’re proud to introduce the Legacy Collection, a curated selection of vintage buttons inspired by our founder Robert Millbank’s passion for timeless treasures. Each button tells a story, reflecting Robert’s dedication to craftsmanship and his love for collecting rare keepsakes. This exclusive collection honours his vision and marks a milestone in our journey, bringing together elegant, historically-inspired designs that transcend time.

Oversized Vintage Mother of Pearl Button

This oversized vintage Mother of Pearl button offers a unique touch of natural elegance. Crafted from genuine mother of pearl, the large, round button features an iridescent finish with hints of pink, blue, and cream.

Larger than standard buttons, it draws inspiration from vintage couture, where oversized buttons were a mark of luxury. The smooth, polished surface reflects light beautifully, making it a standout piece for coats, blazers, or accessories. Each button has unique variations due to the natural shell, ensuring no two are alike.

Perfect for adding vintage charm to modern garments or enhancing retro-inspired designs, this button is ideal for fashion designers, collectors, and sewing enthusiasts alike.
