These hand-carved Buffalo Horn Buttons are crafted in Sambhal, India—a globally recognized hub for natural horn and bone handicrafts. Each button is made from ethically sourced, 100% natural buffalo horn, collected as a byproduct of the meat industry. No animals are harmed for production, supporting zero-waste and eco-conscious manufacturing. Our artisans shape, carve, sand, and polish each piece by hand, ensuring every button carries a unique, organic pattern.
Buffalo horn is naturally dense, durable, and lightweight with a smooth finish. The buttons feature the characteristic brown–cream horn grain, showcasing natural striations that plastic buttons cannot replicate. The material is anti-static, hypoallergenic, and long-lasting—ideal for premium apparel and luxury goods.
After rough cutting, each button is carved into asymmetrical organic shapes, giving the collection a rustic, handcrafted aesthetic. Buttons undergo multi-stage polishing, shaping, drilling, and finishing. They are graded into A, B, and Craft Grade depending on uniformity and natural texture.
