If you work in the apparel or brand industry, you may have created original parts.
I think there are a certain number of people, especially in the women’s apparel industry, who order covered buttons, which are buttons wrapped in fabric.
These are original parts that create a sense of unity with the item, but they are not just buttons.
This time, we will introduce you to covered buckles!
What is a covered buckle?
A covered buckle is an original buckle that is wrapped in fabric provided, just like a covered button.
It is mainly used for women’s belts.
Advantages of covered buckles
The advantage of using covered buckles on belts and other items is that by using the same fabric, the item creates a consistent look.
They tend to have a more formal look than metal buckles.
Recently, it seems to be appearing in the quiet luxury style that has become a trend, but if you are looking for a high-class, luxurious feel, I would definitely recommend giving it a try.
Covered Buckle Manufacturer
As for covered buckles, the ones we are able to arrange for our customers are made by ASTOR, a German company.
Our Japanese distributor is in charge of processing, wrapping the ASTOR buckles in fabric.
There are many different types of buckle bases, ranging from square to round, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Please note that depending on the thickness of the fabric and the type of base, it may not be possible to create this.
If you are unsure, it is safer to start by creating a sample.
Delivery time depends on the quantity, but it will take about 2 to 3 weeks.
What a covered buckle actually looks like
This is what we actually created.

It looks simple on its own, but when combined with the belt part it creates a sense of unity.
This is the pinless type.
