This limited edition buckle was created to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Limited to 250 pieces, the design draws on early American symbolism. The eagle is taken from an 1800s military buckle. The stars and stripes reference the American flag. The “1776” is styled after the handwritten date on the Declaration of Independence, anchoring the piece to a specific moment in history.
