About Sparkle

Beautiful things deserve a second story.

Sparkle started out very small in 2021 - with Michèle’s Chleiderstübli, just a few steps
away from our current store in Küsnacht.

What began as a small passion project for founder Michèle Burkard has grown over the years.
The Chleiderstübli became Sparkle, a small selection turned into more and more special finds, and a one-woman project evolved into a wonderful team.

Today, you will find a carefully curated and constantly changing selection of secondhand items at Sparkle in Küsnacht. Pieces that already have a story and are ready for the next one. Our goal isn't simply to offer as much as possible; we want to choose items that inspire us personally - beautiful, special, and sometimes unexpected things.

That is exactly what makes secondhand so exciting for us: you never know
which treasure will come through our door next.

Secondhand with heart

However, there is another idea behind Sparkle. We don't just want to give beautiful things a second life, but also give back through what we do.

Rhinos and their protection have been very close to Michèle's heart since her time in South Africa. That is why 10% of every sale goes to the Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary in South Africa, supporting the protection, rescue, and rehabilitation of rhinos there.

Even our name carries this connection:
Sparkle is named after a rhino named Sparkle.

Over the years, a small Chleiderstübli in Küsnacht has become what Sparkle is today: a place for special secondhand finds, new favorites, and the joy of giving
beautiful things another story.

We are glad you are a part of it.
