What goes wrong
Three failures we test for before bulk
- Every batch looks like a different animal. Horn varies by nature — without an approved range, lot two looks wrong against lot one and the brand rejects it.
- Cracked or split pieces in the bulk lot. Horn is brittle at the tip and root; unsorted lots ship splits that your line discovers at buttoning time.
- Customs paperwork for animal material. Some destinations ask what the button is made of and where it came from — a supplier without documents becomes your problem at the border.
Each of these is a claim on your P&L, not a technical detail. We test the condition your care label specifies and put the result in writing before production starts.
Buyer questions
Natural horn — FAQ
Is horn subject to CITES?
Cattle and buffalo horn is a farming by-product and not a CITES-listed species, but we still provide a material and origin statement so your customs broker has the document in hand.
How consistent is the colour across a bulk lot?
You approve a physical range sample — the spread of tones that is acceptable. Every lot is checked against that range, and out-of-range buttons are removed.
Can horn be laser engraved?
Yes, engraving reads clearly on polished horn. We send an engraved sample for approval before bulk.
Can horn go through garment dyeing?
Tell us the dye condition at inquiry. Horn reacts to heat and moisture differently from resin — we test the actual condition and confirm in writing before you commit.
