VIRGULE – A graceful curve that transforms a garment.
What if a button could become a punctuation mark in the language of fashion?
With its elongated, gently curved silhouette, VIRGULE resembles a fluid gesture captured in three dimensions. Its softly rounded ends and generous proportions create an unexpected shape, far removed from the conventional round button.
Made from milky white galalith, this remarkable vintage accessory features a smooth, satin-like surface with delicate ivory undertones. Its understated appearance allows the purity of the line to take centre stage.
Probably dating from the 1970s, VIRGULE recalls the organic design movement and the experimental spirit of an era when fashion embraced unconventional silhouettes, flowing curves and bold accessories.
Galalith, a historic casein-based material derived from milk protein, has long been used to produce distinctive buttons and fashion ornaments. Its characteristic appearance lends this vintage design a subtle material richness.
Available in three lengths – 39, 49 and 70mm – VIRGULE offers intriguing possibilities for contemporary garment design.
Imagine it on a beautifully tailored wool coat, a minimalist jacket or a statement cape. Depending on the construction of the garment, the button can be positioned vertically or horizontally, introducing an unexpected sense of direction and movement.
The impressive 70mm version can become a defining feature in its own right, while the smaller sizes offer elegant alternatives for original fastenings, cuffs and decorative details.
For fashion designers, couture ateliers and collectors of unusual vintage buttons, VIRGULE offers an opportunity to explore the relationship between function, form and creative expression.
Carefully selected by BUTTONS PARADISE, this vintage button celebrates the beauty of simplicity and the expressive potential of an unconventional detail.
VIRGULE: one graceful curve, a whole new expression of style.
