Tucked into the North End of Delray Beach on George Bush Blvd, across from St Vincent’s Church and School and next to Bella Reina Spa sits a charming consignment boutique filled with designer goodies.
Second Time Around offers a fascinating mix of vintage to contemporary merchandise. Classics such as Tory Burch, Lilly Pulitzer, Johnny Was and J. McLaughlin are mixed with LV, Chanel, Hermes, Ferragamo, Gucci, Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin. This little shop is also known for its’ great selection of designer silk scarves. The range of colors is unrivaled!
This morning, you might find a sequined caftan or a vintage Black Label Ralph Lauren blazer. This afternoon, it could be a Hermes Birkin bag. Inventory changes constantly!
Shop owner Jen Davis, a Delray native, has a long history at the helm of this retail gem. Formerly Downtown off Atlantic Avenue on SW 4th Ave, Second Time Around has been operating since 1980. Jen prides herself on her sensitivity to customer requests and works hard to find rare and precious items.
Michele Detursi, a frequent customer of Second Time Around, has been a raving fan of the unique items she can’t find anywhere else. Joanne Gimme, formerly of The Trouser Shop, is a regular in the store and a long-time friend. “Jen’s shop is a destination for me frequently. I always find something special, and her staff are delightful. We make it a must-see after lunch at Prime Catch”, she says.
A lot of people are obsessed with Second Time Around, especially around gala events like The Kentucky Derby. Jen begins putting together one-of-a-kind ,stylish and elegant hats for the famous Churchill Downs affair well in advance. One woman recently stopped by to pick up clothing for a surprise golf outing with her family. She was thrilled at the array of matching accessories. Power shopper Maureen Maas bought a Zimmerman floral print dress. Inspired by the romantic and bohemian-inspired design, she wore it to lunch at The Breakers in Palm Beach.
But the heart of this boutique is Jen. With optimism and a sunny outlook, she dives into over-stuffed closets of those relocating, downsizing, or even making changes in style or size. “It feels like family! Everyone is a part of it, including customers and staff,” says Jen, who grew up in Delray Beach. “I love helping people. I develop connections with my clients and find joy in making these transitions easier.” Hannah Davis, a Palm Beach State College student, enjoys working with her mom at the boutique.
“I always find things that no one else has,” says Elisa Ferrigno, a collector of vintage handbags who relishes the thrill of unearthing something special. This sense of exclusivity has made Sec-ond Time Around a special destination for those who appreciate unique treasures.
The store’s commitment to exceptional quality means there’s always something new to discover. Chanel, Hermes, and LV are among the most coveted labels found at Second Time Around. But it’s not just about big names; it’s about finding pieces that make you happy.
“I find the most incredible bags there; it’s such a hidden gem. I’m in there every week!” said Nancy Reagan, owner of Bella Reina Spa.
Fine jewelry can be found in abundance at Second Time Around, making it a favorite stop for dealers from New York and Connecticut. High-quality pieces are often adorned with flawless gemstones. The finest pieces showcase meticulous attention to detail, whether through intricate settings or innovative designs that highlight the beauty of each stone. Designers such as Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels are often found in this one-of-a-kind store.
Unlike many shops, Jen purchases merchandise ‘outright’ from customers wanting to sell. That means that goods are immediately exchanged for cash with no waiting.”
An added benefit for Jen’s regular customers is her rental flexibility. Often, a special night demands an extraordinary outfit. Last year’s Denim and Diamonds Event, an annual fundraiser hosted by Horses Healing Hearts at BMW in Delray Beach, brought out Jen’s favorite clients for one-night-only rentals.
