Frequently Asked Questions
About The Bags:
Yes! Every single bag is an individual creation. I source secondhand bags and discarded materials, then custom embellish each piece using vibrant, thick embroidery thread and decorative elements. No two bags will ever be identical.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is available in the USA and now anywhere in the world! For more information on international orders, please call me at (860) 500-0887 or email me at secondchancerevivalct@gmail.com.
Where can I find you in person?
My mom and I regularly pop up at local craft fairs, farmers markets, and community vendor events throughout the season. Follow along on Instagram to see our upcoming event schedule and come say hi!
Are all bags truly unique?
All bags are designed, refurbished, and stitched with love right here in the USA.
Where are your bags made?
I primarily work with repurposed bags found at secondhand shops and markets. I use durable, heavy embroidery thread, patches, and carefully selected embellishments to give each piece its bold, funky revival.
Do you offer any discounts?
Since every item is completely unique, bags are claimed directly through my website gallery or Instagram feed. Once you spot a bag you love, simply send me a text, shoot me an email, or send a Direct Message on Instagram with a screenshot or description of the bag. I will quickly confirm if it is still available and send you a secure Venmo or Square link to complete your checkout.
Shipping, Payment, & Returns
What is your return policy
Because every bag is an individually refurbished secondhand item, all sales are final. Please review photos and item descriptions carefully before purchasing. If your item arrives damaged in transit, please reach out to me directly so I can help make it right.

How do I purchase a bag?
Since every item is completely unique, bags are claimed directly through my website gallery or Instagram feed. Once you spot a bag you love, simply send me a text, shoot me an email, or send a Direct Message on Instagram with a screenshot or description of the bag. I will quickly confirm if it is still available and send you a secure Venmo or Square link to complete your checkout.
Do you take custom orders or commissions?
At this time, I do not take custom orders. My creative process relies entirely on the unique vintage and secondhand bags I discover. What you see available on my feed is what is currently ready to find a new home.
What does "recovering out loud" mean?
Second Chance Bag Revival is built on my personal journey of recovery from addiction. Giving discarded bags a second chance mirrors the renewal and hope I found in my own life. "Recovering out loud" is my way of sharing my story to inspire others, breaking the stigma, and reminding everyone that we all deserve a second chance.
What payment methods do you accept?
For online orders, I accept Venmo and secure debit or credit card payments processed through Square. If you shop with me in person, I accept cash, Venmo, and card payments through my Square reader.
