Norse Horn Toggle Buttons, Set of 5

Complete your historical clothing with these Norse Horn Toggle Buttons, handcrafted from ethically sourced ox horn. Supplied as a practical set of five, these toggles are ideal for creating authentic fastenings on cloaks, shawls, capes, jackets, bags etc.

Simple, durable, and naturally beautiful, horn toggles have been used for centuries because they offered a reliable fastening made from materials that were readily available.

Ethically Sourced Ox Horn

Each Viking Horn toggle is individually shaped and polished from genuine ox horn. Because horn is a natural organic material, no two pieces are ever exactly the same. Every toggle displays its own distinctive grain, streaks, color variations, and natural patterns, making each set genuinely unique.

These natural markings are one of the most attractive features of real horn and give every project a unique handcrafted look.

Strong, Practical and Ready to Stitch

Each toggle comes with two pre-drilled holes, for quick and secure attachment. Their smooth finish makes them comfortable to use.

This set of five Norse Horn toggle buttons provide enough toggles for a wide variety of sewing and leatherworking projects.

Inspired by Viking Daily Life

The Vikings made full use of the materials available around them, and horn was among the most valuable. It was moulded into drinking vessels, combs, needles, spoons, gaming pieces, musical instruments, and clothing fasteners. Strong, lightweight, and easy to shape when worked by skilled craftsmen, horn became an essential material in everyday Norse life.

These toggle horn buttons draw inspiration from those practical historical fasteners, bringing a small but authentic detail to modern reenactment clothing and historical reproductions.
