Faux Lavahorn buttons by LeChic Buttons were produced primarily in the 1940s and 1950s. These buttons were designed to imitate the appearance and texture of genuine lavahorn, using a combination of plastic and other synthetic materials to replicate the look of the original, more expensive volcanic rock material.

LeChic Buttons was known for its innovative designs, and the faux lavahorn buttons were a popular choice during the mid-20th century, especially because they offered a similar aesthetic at a more affordable price point. These buttons were often used in high-quality fashion garments and accessories, helping to elevate their appearance without the cost of authentic lavahorn.

Today, these faux lavahorn buttons are considered collectible by vintage fashion enthusiasts and button collectors.
