The present invention relates to a buckle clip for receiving and for removably retaining a fastener such as a button having a shank for a garment such as the type used on suspenders, overall straps, jeans and other garments and structures in need of support. In a preferred embodiment, the buckle clip is fabricated from a continuously formed resilient wire to define a loop. The loop has a bight portion for suspension from a strap, a pair of arms for receiving a fastener such as a button having a shank and an open portion for receiving and for removably retaining the button. The bight portion has a pair of feet portions with a first end and with a second end which are resiliently separable and normally spring biased toward each other to engage the shank of the button. The pair of feet portions have a groove and a first pair and a second pair of contact surfaces. The loop provides resilient movement of the open portion for engaging and for disengaging the button. An encasement, slideably attachable to the bight portion of the loop, completely envelopes the ends of the pair of feet portions. The encasement has side passageways through which a part of the pair of feet portions extend, within the encasement, to engage and to release the fastener as they separate when the pair of feet portions resiliently move laterally. The encasement has a pair of stop walls integrally formed thereon which cooperate with the groove and with each pair of contact surfaces for limiting the resilient lateral movement of the pair of feet portions to prevent over extension of the loop.
