About Spark*l

Spark*l is a female-founded company built on sustainability, authenticity and integrity. Those values shape every accessory we design, our company culture and our partnerships.

We started with a simple idea: your smartwatch deserves more than a purely functional rubber band. When we began working designer canvas into our bands, we found a way to blend luxury with our modern bohemian style. Word spread from friend to friend, and today every Spark*l band is handcrafted with love in San Luis Obispo, California, and shipped to customers around the world.

What we make

Our bands are grouped by the leathers, canvases and artwork used to craft them.

Diagram of the parts of a Spark*l band: adapters, lining, buckle, keeper, embellishment, edge paint, tabs, overlay, thread and snaps — The parts of a Spark*l band.

Part	What it is
Overlay	The top leather layer of the band.
Lining	The bottom leather layer of the band.
Adapters	The metal pieces that connect your band to your watch by sliding into the openings on the watch.
Embellishment	The decorative closure that holds the leather together to secure the adapter.
Buckle and keeper	Sivella styles fasten with a buckle. The keeper is the sewn leather loop that holds the end of the band.
Snaps	Bow styles fasten with snap buttons.
Tabs	On Cuff styles, tabs hold the adapters and are attached by the embellishment.
Edge paint	Sleek styles are finished with a clean, hand-painted edge.
Thread	Every band is hand-sewn with durable specialty leather thread.

Band style

Our styles include the Sivella (buckle), Bow (snaps), Cuff (tabs and snaps), Skinny Sivella and our signature Watchlet. Layered styles show a border of lining around the overlay, while Sleek styles have a single smooth layer with a painted edge.

Wrist size

Sizes differ by style, so our Sizing Guide walks you through measuring your wrist and choosing the right size for each one. We're size inclusive: if your size isn't listed, or you're between sizes, email us before you order and we'll help you get it just right.

Open the Sizing Guide

Lining and accent leather

Your lining is the leather on the underside of your band. Accent leather is used for the tabs on Cuff styles and the keeper on Sivella styles (Bow styles have no accent leather), and it can match either the overlay or the lining. Dreaming of a lining that isn't offered? Submit a Design Request.
