Buckles are devices used for fastening two loose ends, often of straps or belts, typically made from metal or plastic. They are commonly used in clothing and accessories to secure items like belts, shoes, and bags. Buckles consist of a hinged frame with a prong that fits into a hole on the strap. They come in various designs and can also serve decorative purposes.
