GOOD'S-BOTTONE D C1

The Bottone D model draws its name from the button — an object whose history stretches from the Bronze Age to the present day. The story of the button mirrors the evolution of society and fashion across the centuries: initially purely ornamental (16th century), it later became functional, fastening two edges of fabric (18th century), before ultimately becoming a symbol of status and beauty, playing a defining role in the history of dress.

Bio-acetate: The frame is crafted in Mazzucchelli M49 bio-acetate — 100% recyclable and biodegradable, free from chemical binders to minimise the risk of allergic reactions. Its natural origin is felt immediately: a warm, silky touch that sets it apart from conventional materials.

Front: The minimalist design reinterprets the button through a dual-geometry silhouette. An ultra-thin circular stainless steel structure — available in two finishes: gold and silver — cradles a double-thickness acetate lens that is round on the outside and oval on the inside. Precision milling celebrates this geometric duality and enhances the chromatic choices, while the opaque top layer interacts with the translucent base in a striking trompe-l'œil effect that reduces visual weight and enhances luminosity.

Temples: The "cravatta" (tie) temple features a metal front section with a thimble-shaped decorative detail, while the acetate tip — coordinated with the front — mirrors the shape of a tie. The terminal reproduces the perforated "o" from the Good's logo.

Cristóbal Balenciaga was obsessed with perfection and proportion. His conviction was that buttons should be small and discreet — almost invisible — so as never to "break" the line of a garment.

His unwavering rule, in stark contrast to the decorative excess of medieval dress, was that a button should never exceed the size of a woman's eye, preserving elegance and ensuring the eye was never drawn away from the garment itself. The button, in his view, was purely functional and subordinate to the design — an idea he himself considered revolutionary for the era.
