Welcome to Second Chance, a family-run business at the heart of KwaZulu-Natal’s North Coast. What started as a small second-hand shop has grown into a vibrant community hub that gives people, products, and ideas a new beginning.
We believe in creating opportunity, delivering value, and working with integrity.
Every item sold, every service offered, and every person employed reflects our commitment to sustainability, honesty, and care. We’ve built a village that celebrates purpose, quality, and second chances in every form
Our Village Businesses
Second Chance Umhlali
The heart of our story and the foundation of our village. We buy and sell pre-loved furniture, appliances, and household goods, each cleaned and thoroughly tested in The Workshop. Fresh finds arrive daily at 8:30 AM, filling homes with warmth and giving every piece a second chance.
The Village Shop
The sweetest corner of our village, filled with homemade treats and local love. Run by Lennie, it began to support young mothers and now delights everyone with fudge, biscuits, and fresh cakes. Each bake is made with care, while local bakers share creations that keep our community spirit alive.
Second Chance Boutique
A curated thrift and boutique store where old favourites find new admirers. Each garment, décor piece, and golden oldie is hand-selected for its timeless charm. We celebrate conscious style, offering affordable fashion and décor that inspire self-expression and bring beauty, nostalgia, and heart into everyday life.
Coming Around
A welcoming space for confidence, connection, and self-expression. Coming Around offers intimate products and lifestyle items in a comfortable, supportive environment. Here, curiosity is encouraged, and self-care is celebrated. We help you feel comfortable with who you are, embracing empowerment, comfort, and authenticity in every experience shared.
