About Sparkle:

Sparkle will include over 50 artists’ work, making it the largest collection of handmade local jewelry in the greater Cleveland area.  Sparkle is the latest project of the VANITYLAB Salon.Spa.Shop in Westlake Ohio.  Since opening in April of 2008, VANITYLAB has offered hundreds of items crafted by the hands of local artists.  

“Though we have carried many items, the jewelry has been our number one seller second to our hair products so we decided to set focus there; making it more convenient for people to shop locally,” says owner, Angie Hofelich.

“We know there are good art festivals during warmer months, but what about the rest of the year?  We see ourselves as the portal for artists to reach customers.  Sparkle will provide artists a high-traffic venue to exhibit their work and the art-loving Clevelanders a venue where they can conveniently purchase local work,” says Hofelich.

“We are artists ourselves!  We love the fact we are able to help other artists.” VANITYLAB stylist, Celina Pagan.

Each artist featured at Sparkle is invited to participate in our charity match program.  A portion of proceeds is matched by Sparkle and donated to a local non-profit.  “While all charities are good, we wanted to focus on locally based causes and we plan to start with the Gathering Place then change the local charity each year to keep it diverse for the shoppers and non-profit organizations.”

“Where you spend your money makes a statement; it is a compliment.  We truly hope we can help keep dollars in Cleveland.  If you are buying a gift anyway, why not buy from local artisan and local shop. We are determined to educate our customers and clients and make Cleveland an even better place to live.”  said Hofelich.  “Instead of complaining about current conditions, let’s work on the solution.  We can pay it forward.  We can make a difference!”
Gift wrap options include a signature reusable bag, sparkle coffee mug or reusable Chinese take-out gift box to stay in line with VANITYLAB’s sustainability beliefs.
