OUR STORY



About A Second Chance

A Second Chance is a family-run and operated luxury resale boutique founded in 1993 in New York City. What began as a lifelong passion for Chanel handbags grew into a curated collection of authenticated designer handbags and accessories from Chanel, Hermès, and Louis Vuitton.

With deep roots in fashion and family, our founder’s daughters joined the business in the late 2000s, helping to expand A Second Chance into the digital age with a redesigned web store and growing online community.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we made the heartfelt decision to close our NYC locations and focus fully on our online boutique, allowing us to reach clients around the world while maintaining our signature personalized service.

Today, our small team of luxury resale experts continues to offer authentic, pre-owned designer handbags and accessories—meticulously curated, inspected, and authenticated. At A Second Chance, we believe luxury should be sustainable, personal, and timeless.
