Vintage Button - Nautilus Shell

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.

Vintage Nautilus Shell Button

These vintage Nautilus shell buttons are a rare and stunning addition to any sewing project. Crafted from genuine Nautilus shells, each button is unique, showcasing the natural shades of pearly ivory, with intricate spiral patterns and an iridescent nacre sheen. The distinct, one-of-a-kind colours and shapes make each button a true work of nature's art.

Perfect for finishing off a linen blazer or wool coat, these buttons offer a touch of timeless elegance and luxury. As Nautilus shell buttons are no longer in production, these beautiful collectibles are increasingly hard to find, making them a must-have for discerning sewists and collectors alike.

Whether you're enhancing a personal creation or adding a luxurious finishing touch to your latest masterpiece, these vintage buttons are the ideal choice for those seeking something truly special.
