We are a company that values sustainability and turning old items into something beautiful. Most of our accessories are crafted from vintage designer bags that were destined for the landfill. These bags can no longer be used, as they are old, worn, or torn. Our mission, and the definition of "Upcycled", is to take these goods that were heading for the trash and restore them to their original beauty. Thank you for joining us in our mission! Find more about our story here.

We love to take old designer bags off your hands, however, our Upcycle My Bag program is currently on hold. Keep your eye out for an update email when we plan to bring it back!

Ready to Ship items are single products that are already made and ship in 1-7 business days, versus our Customizable items that take about 3-4 weeks to be made. Ready to Ship items come as is, unless changes are requested through your post purchase customization email. They come from inventory stock, customer returns, production mistakes, or design tests. Customizable items are made when ordered and are able to fully customized. 

Any discounted items purchased during  a holiday promotion or sale are final sale and ship in simple packaging.

These items are dropped daily on our Live Show on our Sparkl Studios app and our website at sparklbands.com. Shop Ready to Ship items now.

Patina is a natural process of leather aging, where the leather will darken, become softer, and conform to your wrist. This process happens with our Vachetta leather, which is a high quality leather also used by Louis Vuitton on the handles of their bags. The Vachetta starts out as a peachy color, then over time with wear and love, will start to develop into a beautiful caramel tone. Often, people who purchase Vachetta look to enhance or speed up this process by using coconut oil and gently massaging into the leather with a q-tip.

Follow the instructions in the video below to see how you can patina your band! The picture below also shows the color changes you should expect when purchasing and wearing Vachetta.

The Customization Experience is you own band building toolbox where you choose all your band's customizations after you purchase. You’ll be walked through each step with advice and tutorials to help you create the band of your dreams. The best part is you'll be able to see your band change with every customization you select. You’ll be able to see how different hardware colors, embellishment types, and band styles look with the leather you chose. There will be no guessing on how your band will look before you receive it. Once you choose your customizations, you can also save them as a preset to make it even easier the next time you purchase!

Your accessory is sturdy and made to last, but with a little extra care, you can keep it as beautiful as the day you first got it.

          · Keep all accessories flat when not being used or worn to avoid creasing.
  
          · Use a mild cleansing wipe to clean when necessary.

          · You can work out in any of our bands, but make sure to let any accessory air dry flat when wet.

Absolutely! We have some of the strongest snaps on the market and they can hold the weight of your watch. That being said, please test the hold every time you snap it on to ensure the snap is tightly secured. If your snaps become worn or are loose please contact us for a free snap replacement. Spark’l is not held liable if your band becomes unsnapped, and your watch is lost or damaged. We have buckle options if you would prefer the security of a buckle.
